Reading

If you didn’t understand what the flight attendant said, you can say Sorry? or Pardon? to ask him or her to repeat it. NO HAH? WHAT?

If you want to ask for something, you can use the phrase “Can I have…?” or “Could I have…?” Practice your pronunciation with these common requests:

Excuse me, do you know where can I check-in for _____ Airline?

Do you have checked bags? Yes/ No

Excuse me, where is the bathroom/ washroom?
