At the airport in Italian
Now, here are the important questions that you will need before to take off with your flight! In Italian we use the English word "check-in" to refer to the counter to check-in to the flight while we use the word "biglietteria" if we want to refer to airline counter to change a ticket for example. Listen to each word and its English translation and repeat the words aloud.
Some people prefer window seats, some want to sit close to the aisle. I always ask for a window seat, that way I can get a first impression of the city we are going to land in, from above. Whichever one you prefer, here are the Italian words for it…
Here are some possible answers you might get…
Deve essere al gate 15 minuti prima della partenza
You have to be at the gate 15 minutes prior to departure. (formal)
Purtroppo, non abbiamo nessun posto finestrino disponibile.
Unfortunately, we don't have any window seats left.
