On the airplane in Arabic

Traveling around Arabic-speaking countries on vacation or business? Wouldn’t it be easier if you knew what to say on the airplane in Arabic? Pack these useful Arabic words and phrases in your hand luggage before you depart!

How do you say boarding pass and luggage in Arabic? What’s the Arabic expression for connecting flight? You’ll learn these important words and more. We’ll also show you how to ask the flight attendants for what you need in Arabic, and understand their instructions. We hope you won’t need to explain that something has gone wrong with your travel plans, but just in case, we’ll teach you how to do that too.

Knowing how to use these essential Arabic travel phrases will give you more confidence next time you’re travelling by plane in an Arabic-speaking country, so let’s get started.

As hard as you try, without helpful feedback your Arabic pronunciation is never going to be the same as a native speaker’s. If you've found it difficult to perfect the way you say Arabic words and phrases, this lesson will help you.

Using the blue Rocket Record buttons you can record the way you say each word or phrase, and compare it with the way a native speaker of Arabic does. That’s right, with Rocket Languages voice mapping technology you can record your voice as many times as you need until your pronunciation matches the Arabic speaker!

In this lesson all gender specific words are in the feminine form.

Imagine you are on a flight from America to Egypt. It’s a long way, so make sure you know how to ask for a drink or an extra blanket in case you are cold. It’s also important to know what “men fadlek, erboty el 7ezam” means. Repeat the new words aloud to practice your pronunciation.

Once you arrive at the airport you will have to collect your luggage. Simply follow the signs to the “estlam el shonat” and make your way to the “el gamarek”. Listen to the Audio link below to hear the pronunciation…

Hopefully you won’t need to use the following phrases, but it’s still handy to know them.

That’s it for today. I hope you enjoyed the lesson!
