T: Yes, I have one suit case.

AC: Please place your suitcase on the scale.

T: Sure, here it is.

AC: Great, your bag is within the weight limit, do you have any carry-on luggage?

T: Yes, I have this backpack.

AC: Perfect, here is your boarding pass. Your flight will depart from Gate 12, boarding begins at 10:30 AM.

T: Thank you. Where is gate 12?

AC: First, you need to go through security, just head straight down this Hall and turn left, you'll see sings for the security checkpoint. Once you're through security, just follow the sings to gate 12.

T: Got it, thank you for your help.

AC: You're welcome! Have a great flight!

T. Excuse me, where should I go for the security check?

AC. The security checkpoint is right over there, please have your boarding pass and I'D ready.

T: Thank you. Is this the line should join?

AC: Yes, that's correct. When you reach the front, please place all your belongings in the tray.

T: Okay. Do I need to take off my shoes?

AC: Yes, please remove your shoes and place them in the tray along with your jacket and any metal items.

T: Got it. What about my laptop? Should I take it out of my bag?

AC: Yes, please take out your laptop and place it in a separate tray.

T: I see. And what about liquids? I have a small bottle of water with me.

AC: I'm afraid you can't take that through security, any liquids must be in containers of 100 millilitera or less.

T: Allright, I'll drink it quickly. Is there anything else I should know?

AC: Just make sure you don't have any sharp objects or prohibited items in your bags.

T: Understood. I'm ready to go through the metal detect now.

AC: Please proceed. If it beeps, we'll need to do an additional check.

AC: Excuse me,ma'am,I'm afraid I'll have to check your bag.

T: Oh, is there a problem?

AC: We've detected some liquids in your carry-on luggage, could you please open your bag?

T: Of course,I have some skincare products in there,is that not allowed?

AC: Liquids over 100ml are not permitted in carry-on bags, can you show me the items,please?

T: Here they are. This moisturizer bottle is 150ml,but it's not full. there's only about 80ml left in it. Is that okay?

AC: I'm sorry, but we go by the container size,not the amount inside. Even if it's not full, we can't allow containers larger than 100ml through security.

T: Oh, I see. I don't realize that, what are my options?

AC:You have two choices: you can either check it in with your luggage or dispose of it here.

T: I don't have time to check it in. I guess I'll have to throw it away. It's such a waste thought.

AC: I understand it's frustrating. For future reference, you can transfer liquids to smaller, travel-sized containers under 100ml. Or pack them in your checked baggage.

T: That's good advice. I'll definitely do that next time. Thank you for your explaining.

AC: You're welcome. We appreciate your cooperation. Have bag safe flight.

T: Yes, I have this suit case to check in.

AC: Alright, could you please place it on the scale.

T: Sure, here you go.

AC: I'm afraid there's slight issue, madam. Your bag is overweight. The limit for checked baggage is 32 kilograms,and your suit case weighs 37 kilograms.

T: Oh, I had no idea. What are my opinions?

AC: You have two choices. you can either remove some items yo bring the weight down to 32 kilograms, or you can pay an excess baggage fee.

T: I see. How much is the excess baggage fee?

AC: The fee is $15 per kilogram over the limit. In your case, that would be $60 for the 4 extra kilograms.

T: That's quite expensive. Is there a place where I can try to rearrange my luggage?

AC: Certainly. There's a repacking area just over there.

feel free to take your time and let me know when you're ready to weight your bag again.

T: Thank you. I'll see what I can do. okay, I've moved some items to my carry-on. Could you weight it again, please?
