Airport and Boarding Vocabulary

Traveling by plane? Don’t let airport vocabulary confuse you. This video teaches essential English terms for navigating an airport smoothly.

Luke isn’t sure how to say go inside the plane, and Isabella teaches him the correct phrase: boarding time. Boarding is the process of getting on the plane, and it usually starts 45 minutes before departure. Not sure what departure means? It’s the time your plane takes off.

Isabella also explains important travel documents like the boarding pass—a small paper or digital ticket that shows your flight time, departure gate, and seat number.

You’ll also learn how to ask Where should I wait? and how to find your gate using your boarding pass.

This simple conversation is perfect for English learners traveling abroad. Whether it’s your first flight or your tenth, understanding these words will help you travel more confidently.
