S: Sharon F: Frank
Sharon and her friend Frank are discussing checking in for a flight online.
S: Hey, Frank. I just got this email from the airline saying I can check in online. Do I have to do that?
F: You don’t have to, but it’s really convenient. It saves time at the airport. You just check in through the airline’s website or app.
S: Oh, I see. What do I need to do to check in?
F: Just enter your booking number and passport details on the website. Once you finish following the instructions, you’ll get your boarding pass.
S: Do I need to print it out?
F: Not necessarily. You can save it on your phone as a QR code, but it’s best to print a copy just in case.
S: That sounds really convenient. But what if I have luggage to check in?
F: You’ll still need to drop it off at the baggage drop counter at the airport, but at least you can skip the check-in process.
S: Can I pick my seat when I check in?
F: Yes, but some airlines charge for reserving seats. You should check their policy.
S: Got it! Thanks, Frank. I’ll do it now to avoid the hassle at the airport.
F: Good call, Sharon! You’ll thank yourself later.

雪倫和她的朋友法蘭克正在討論線上辦理登機報到。
雪 倫: 嘿,法蘭克。我剛收到航空公司寄來的電子郵件,說我可以線上報到。我一定要這麼做嗎?
法蘭克: 妳不一定要這樣做,但它真的很方便。它能節省在機場的時間。妳只需要透過航空公司的網站或應用程式報到。
雪 倫: 喔,我了解了。我需要做什麼來報到?
法蘭克: 只需在網站上輸入妳的訂票號碼及護照資訊。一旦妳遵循完指示,妳就能拿到登機證。
雪 倫: 我需要把它印出來嗎?
法蘭克: 不需要。妳可以以行動條碼的形式將它存在手機上,但最好還是印一份出來以防萬一。
雪 倫: 那聽起來真的很方便。但如果我有行李要託運的話怎麼辦?
法蘭克: 妳仍需要在機場的行李辦理櫃檯進行託運,但至少妳可以省去報到的步驟。
雪 倫: 我報到時可以選座位嗎?
法蘭克: 可以,但有些航空公司會針對預訂座位收費。妳應該確認一下它們的政策。
雪 倫: 了解!謝啦,法蘭克。我現在就去報到,以省去在機場的麻煩。
法蘭克: 明智的決定,雪倫!妳之後會感謝自己的。
