Not only can you practice Spanish with this guide, it’s also practical; you’ll be able to handle everything you encounter at the airport (el aeropuerto<\/em>)and the plane (el avi\u00f3n<\/em>) like a real native. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will explore useful airport terminology<\/strong> in this article so that you can use it throughout the whole process of flying abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La llegada al aeropuerto (arriving at the airport)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s always better to purchase your ticket (comprar el boleto<\/em><\/strong>) in advance, especially if you don\u2019t have bags (maletas<\/em><\/strong>) to check in (facturar\/despachar<\/em><\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you arrive at the airport, you\u2019ll need to look for your airline counter (el mostrador de tu l\u00ednea a\u00e9rea<\/em><\/strong>), where you\u2019ll have to present your passport (presentar \/ mostrar el pasaporte<\/em><\/strong>). If you\u2019ve done an online check-in (hacer un registro autom\u00e1tico<\/em><\/strong>), the process will be shorter. Otherwise, they\u2019ll ask you if you have baggage to check in (equipaje para facturar<\/em><\/strong>), and if so they\u2019ll ask you to put it on the scale (b\u00e1scula<\/em><\/strong>). In case you have any carry-on case (bolso\/maleta de mano<\/em><\/strong>) you\u2019ll show it there too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After this process, you\u2019ll receive your boarding pass (tarjeta de embarque<\/strong>), gate number (n\u00famero de puerta<\/em><\/strong>), and seat number (n\u00famero de asiento<\/em><\/strong>), then you\u2019ll move on to the Security checkpoint (control de seguridad<\/em><\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s see some specific terminology and common travel-realated Spanish phrases<\/a> at this point of the process at the airport:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comprar el boleto \/ Buying the ticket<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Spanish<\/strong><\/td>English<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>

Hacer el check-in – Checking in<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the check-in counter (mostrador de facturaci\u00f3n<\/em><\/strong>) you might have this conversation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buenos d\u00edas.<\/strong> \u00bfMe permite su pasaporte y su boleto, por favor?<\/strong>
Good morning. Can I have your Passport and your ticket, please?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pasar el control de seguridad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your next step is going through the security checkpoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now you can move to the departure lounge (sala de embarque<\/em><\/strong>). You\u2019ll need to be close to the boarding gate (puerta de embarque<\/em><\/strong>) and pay attention to the loudspeaker (altavoz<\/em><\/strong> (ESP) \/ altoparlante <\/em><\/strong>(LatAm)), so that you know exactly when to board (embarcar\/subir al avi\u00f3n<\/em><\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El vuelo – The flight<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once on the plane, you\u2019ll need to find your seat (asiento). You can put your hand bag (bolso de mano<\/em><\/strong>) in the hold (compartimento<\/em><\/strong>) above your seat.  You can ask the flight attendant (asistente de vuelo<\/em><\/strong>) for help in case you need it. He or she will move through the aisle (pasillo<\/em><\/strong>) offering meals, drinks and help. \uf04a  You will need to fasten your seatbelt (abrocharse el cintur\u00f3n de seguridad<\/em><\/strong>) before taking off (despegar<\/em><\/strong>) and landing (aterrizar<\/em><\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During your flight (vuelo<\/em><\/strong>), the flight assistant might bring you a Customs Declaration Form (formulario de declaraci\u00f3n de aduanas<\/em><\/strong>) that you will need to fill in (completar \/ rellenar<\/em><\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the plane lands (aterriza<\/em><\/strong>) at your destination (destino<\/strong>) you will need to pick up your baggage (recoger el equipaje<\/em><\/strong>) from the baggage conveyor belt (cinta transportadora de equipaje<\/em><\/strong>) and then move on to the passport control (control de pasaporte<\/em><\/strong>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Migraciones \/ Control de Pasaporte<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your next step is at Migration and Customs, where your passport will be checked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agente: Buenos d\u00edas. \u00bfMe permite su pasaporte?<\/strong>
