Recife?

3030
03:05
What?
67
185660
1190
03:06
Did we lock the front door?
68
186850
9380
03:16
Let's look at some language again.
69
196230
2940
03:19
Passengers often check in at machines that
print their boarding passes - the document
70
199170
5100
03:24
they need to get on a flight.
71
204270
3460
03:27
Passengers can take small bags onto the plane
with them as carryon luggage,
72
207730
5580
03:33
but not big ones.
73
213310
2710
03:36
This bag's too big for carry on.
74
216030
2420
03:38
Well yes.
75
218450
1720
03:40
Large bags must be checked in.
76
220170
3080
03:43
Are you checking any bags?
77
223250
1569
03:44
Yes, just one
Can you put it on the scale?
78
224819
3890

2261
03:58
No, I can't.
82

1629
03:59
You'll need to pick it up in Rio to go through
customs.
83
239959
3261
04:03
And then we have to check it in again for
Recife?
84
243220
3180
04:06
That's right
We had connecting flights with a layover.
85
246400
4660
04:11
A layover is a short stay between parts of
a journey.
86
251060
5269
04:16
How much time do we have?
87
256329

04:18
How long is our layover?
88
258100
1620
04:19

259720
1910
04:21
That's plenty of time.
90
261630
2850
04:24
The check in clerk asks security questions.
91
264480
4300
04:28
They could be WH- questions, so questions
that begin with words like these.
92
268780
6859

I need to ask you some security questions.

97
284910
2550
04:47
Where was it packed?
98

2140
04:49
Other times they ask questions you need to
answer yes or no.
99

it?

3510
05:13
Does it contain any prohibited or dangerous
articles?
106
313500
5030
05:18
Are you carrying anything for anyone else?
107
318530
3750
05:22
Has anyone given you anything to carry for
them on this flight?
108
322280

getting onto the plane.
