Traveling by plane. Trains, buses, and boats connect villages, towns, and
countries, including places that are far away, but some journeys may last many
hours. If you want to travel somewhere far away, perhaps your best option is to
go to the airport, el aeropuerto, to take a flight, el vuelo, on an airplane, el
avión. So let’s learn some more words that would be helpful on your journey
through the skies!
What you have to do. Once at the airport you will need your ticket, that you may
have bought on the airline or a travel agency office or online, to check-in. After
checking-in, you will get your boarding pass, la tarjeta de embarque. Your
boarding pass will give you access to the control points where security staff will
check your carry-on luggage, el equipaje de mano. Then, you’ll go to the
boarding gate, la puerta de embarque, where you show your boarding pass and
ID before boarding your plane.
Once on the plane. Once you are in the airplane, a flight attendant, el asistente
de vuelo (or la asistente de vuelo), will help you find your seat. Do you prefer a
seat next to the window, la ventanilla, or by the aisle, el pasillo? Wherever you
end up, your flight will take off in no time, so relax, and enjoy your trip!
Watch the vocabulary section of the video only. Listen to the Spanish vocabulary words.
After you listen to a word, repeat it aloud. Then, write the English meaning next to the
Spanish word in your notebook.
Gramática
