English Conversation on the Plane

In this video, a passenger and a flight attendant have a brief conversation on the plane. It’s a cross between a casual and a formal dialogue. Make new friends by conversing with others while travelling. Don’t be afraid to speak up, even if you aren’t fluent, because there are many languages on this globe, and most of us aren’t fluent in all of them. So you’re not alone in this linguistic struggle, and you shouldn’t overthink it; instead, start speaking as soon as you get the chance.

Justin: (talking to himself) Ah, my belt seems to be having some issue. I guess I need to call the flight attendant.

(Justin presses the bell)

Flight Attendant: Yes Sir, how may help you?
Justin: Well, I’m unable to fasten my seatbelt. I suppose it’s stuck somewhere. Could you please check it for me?
Flight Attendant: Sure, can you please move away from your seat for a while?
Justin: Ah…sure.
Flight Attendant: (checking the seat belt) there you go. It’s been fixed now; you can have a seat.
Justin: Wow, that’s pretty quick, what was the issue by the way?
Flight Attendant: Nothing serious, the belt was entangled in itself. Not to worry, you may fasten your seat belt now.
Justin: That’s really wonderful, thank you for your assistance.
Flight Attendant: My pleasure.

Flight Attendant: Sir, please switch off your mobile as we are about to take off.
Justin: Yeah, just checking the texts.

Justin: Okay. (Switches the mobile off)
Flight Attendant: Thank you Sir.
Justin: Ma’am, can you please fetch me a glass of water?
Flight Attendant: I’m afraid you will have to wait till we take off. Therefore, I would request you to please cooperate until then.
Justin: Alright, I take your point.
Flight Attendant: Thanks for understanding. Please keep your seat belts fastened during the take-off, we’ll inform you once we settle in the air.
Justin: Very well, thank you.

Flight Attendant: Excuse me Sir, here’s water for you.
Justin: Oh, thank you ma’am. I’m glad you remembered my request.

Justin: Can you please help me with a magazine or a newspaper to get rid of this boredom?
