In a travel agent (booking for a ticket)




Example 1:
Dolores            : Hello! What can I do for you, Sir?
Tim                  : Ah yes, hello.
  I’d like to ask about flights to Hong Kong from Kennedy Airport in New   York, please. I’m off to a conference at the end of the month - Thursday 22nd until Tuesday 27th. Could you tell me about the flight availability and prices?  
Dolores            : Certainly. Would you like economy, business or first class?
Tim                  : Well, I’d like economy, please. 
Dolores            : Ok. How many of you will be travelling?
Tim                  : Ah, it’s just me.
Dolores            : Okay, so that’s one seat … economy … New York - Kennedy to Hong Kong Airport.
Tim                  : And how much will that be?
Dolores            : Let me see … to qualify for the discount rate, you need to stay over a  Saturday, which you are doing … Yes, that’ll be $830.
Tim                  : Okay. Can I book that?
Dolores            : Certainly.

Example 2:
YESSA             : Hello. I’d like to book two tickets to Manchester, please, for the 5:00 PM train.
THE AGENT    :
First or second-class?
YESSA             : What's the difference in price between the two?
THE AGENT    : First class tickets are £47 each and second-class tickets are £35 each.
YESSA             : I'll take two second-class tickets. Can I buy the return tickets now as well?
THE AGENT    : If you like...  When would you like to come back?
YESSA             : Is there a train that leaves Manchester in the afternoon on Monday?
THE AGENT    : Yes... there's a train from Manchester to London leaving daily at 4:00 PM.
  Would you like me to book two tickets for you?
YESSA             : Yes, please do. Second-class as well.
THE AGENT    : Is that all, Sir?
YESSA             : Yes. Thank you very much.
