Show transcript
Agent:Good afternoon. May I see your passport and booking, please?
Customer:Of course. Here you go. I'd like a window seat if possible — it's an overnight flight and I'd love to try to sleep.
Agent:Let me check… yes, I have 27A. Would you like to upgrade to premium economy for a small extra fee? There's more legroom and a better meal.
Customer:Hmm, that's kind, but no thank you. The window seat is enough for me.
Agent:No problem. Would you like a vegetarian meal on board?
Customer:Yes, please. That would be lovely. One more thing — could I have a 'fragile' sticker for my suitcase, please? I've got some ceramics inside.
Agent:Absolutely. Here's your boarding pass, and the fragile sticker is on your bag. Have a great flight.
Customer:Thank you very much.
