Hi, everybody.

Welcome back to top words.

My name is Alicia and today we're going to talk about 10 words for the airport.

Let's go check in.

The first word is check in, check in.

So to check in this is a verb, A phrase a ll verb.

To check in means to check into your flight to essentially say, yes, I am here.

I'm going to get on the plane.

I am checking in.

We can use the same expression for hotels actually to check into your hotel to check into your flight.

So to check in means to confirm you are going to fly on the plane in a sentence check in for international flights is two hours before departure.

Immigration.

The next word is immigration.

Immigration.

So this is passport check.

Essentially, when you are traveling internationally, you may need to Well, you do need to show your passport to the immigration staff.

So they are checking the people who are coming and going in and out of the country.

That process that area of the airport.

That area, maybe of border control as well, is called immigration.

We call it immigration in a sentence.

Make sure your passport is ready when you go to immigration customs.

The next word is customs.

Customs is the next word.

So customs is the part of the airport or the international travel experience where the items you have purchased or the items you're bringing into the country, maybe the amount of cash that you have on you are, and maybe any dangerous items or ah, any kind of like specific items that you need to declare that you need to announce you are carrying.

Those things are checked.

That's the place in the airport where that sort of thing is covered.

So there's usually there's usually a form that you fill out when you enter a country, and they'll say, Do you need to declare anything?

So to declare means to announce there's something you are carrying or something you need to explain to the people who are in the country to the border staff, the customs staff in the country, you are going to so that whole area of the airport of the travel experience is called Customs Customs in ascendance.

Uh, do you have anything to declare with Customs Departure Gate?

The next expression is departure gate departure gate, so depart means to leave a place.

Your departure gates is the gauge.

The airport gate from which you leave the airport.

Your departure gate, the place your plane leaves room in the airport is called your departure gate.

All right, in a sentence.

My departure gate is a five baggage claim.

Okay, next one.

The next expression is baggage claim.

Baggage claim.

So bag or baggage, meaning your luggage, your suitcase and claim so claim means you say that's mine.

In other words, to claim something to retrieve, something to pick up something.

Pick up your luggage at baggage claim Carousel number three.

Currency exchange.

The next expression is currency exchange currency exchange, so currency means type of money.

Currency so yen is a currency.

Dollar is a currency.

Euro is a currency type of money and exchange.

So, for example, if you need to change yen to euro, you do it at a currency exchange location where you can change your money to a different type of money.

So if the country that you're coming from has different money than the country you're going to, which is likely the case, you may need to change your money at a currency exchange location.

So in a sentence, I need to stop at a currency exchange desk boarding pass.

The next expression is boarding pass boarding pass.

Your boarding pass is a piece of paper, or now I suppose we have them digitally under smartphones.

Ah, boarding pass.

A boarding pass is the documentation digital or physical, that shows the flight attendants that shows the staff from the airline that you are allowed to get on the plane, that you have a seat, you are allowed to board the plane.

So boarding means getting on the plane and pass means permission.

So boarding permission essentially allowed to get on the plane paperwork is what you could think of this as so a boarding pass.

Very important, of course, In a sentence.

Uh, do you have your boarding pass seat assignment?

The next expression is seat assignment.

Seat assignment.

So seat meaning in the place where you sit your chair.

The seat the airline has chosen for you is your seat assignment.

Or maybe you chose your seat assignment.

But that's the place you are supposed to sit on the airplane in a sentence.

I'd like to change my seat assignment, first class, business class.

So the next expression is first class or business class.

So these refer to a couple different levels of service on an airplane.

The basic level of service is called economy service, or we also call it coach Coach.

So, coach, our economy is the basic level.

After that would be business class, which usually has slightly larger seats, maybe a little bit more delicious food, maybe more drink options, for example.

And then there's first class, which is the highest level of service and is also the most expensive level service.

So first class business class, economy, class These are the three levels on an airplane, so it's typically ah, considered a nice experience to fly business class or first class somewhere in a sentence.

Are there any seats available in business class layover?

The next word is layover.

Layover.

Ah, layover is a period of time between two flights, presumably at an airport.

Maybe maybe you have to transfer at an airport.

You fly from like Singapore Thio.

I don't know.

Los Angeles, maybe.

Or like Chicago, Maybe.

And then you have to wait there for your next flight to London.

Your connecting flight.

That period of time between your two flights is called a layover.

So typically people want to have a shortly over a fairly short layover, so they have time to transfer to their next flight.

Or maybe they want to take a break from being on a plane.

So ah, layover, typically a short layover is good, typically long layovers air bad, but you might have a cheap flight if that's the case.

So a layover is the period of time between two flights in a sentence.

I have a long layover in Bangkok, so those are 10 words for the airport.
