You’re booking a flight and a hotel for your next trip. Do you know the words you’ll actually need at the airport and reception desk?

Notice

“I’d like to book a room for two nights.” “What time is check-in?” “Where is the boarding gate?” “I have a reservation under the name Garcia.”

Rule

Key travel vocabulary: booking/reservation (arranging a room or ticket in advance), check-in/check-out (arriving at or leaving a hotel), boarding gate (where you get on a plane), one-way/round-trip ticket. Politeness pattern: “I’d like to…” is the standard way to make travel requests.
