BEP 25 – Travel: Airport Check In and Making Polite Requests

This lesson has been updated. Click here to get the new version.

In this two-part Business English Podcast series, we will be looking at the vocabulary used when traveling by air, and proper and polite forms of making and answering requests.

In this episode, our traveler Robert is arriving at the airport to fly from Sydney Australia to Nice, France. But he must first fly to Paris, and then fly from Paris to Nice. As you listen, pay attention to the phrases used for polite requests.

  5. Hi Wiwek,
    I’m afraid this podcast can only be downloaded. It was encoded at the wrong bit rate and so it won’t play properly in the flash player on this page.

    You can find the study notes for older episodes on the Learning Centre pages:

    Here’s the link for BEP 25:
    http://www.businessenglishpod.com/learningcenter2/2006/12/17/bep-25-travel-airport-check-in-and-making-polite-requests/
    At this point, there are no online activities for BEP 17 > 26. We only started developing online quizzes beginning with BEP 42. We create quizzes for the older lessons when they are featured in an e-book. We will be releasing a new e-book for travel in the next few months and this will include Flash quizzes for all the featured lessons (including BEP 25 & 26).
