Full Conversation

Passenger

My flight is delayed, and I have a short connection in Delhi. Could you check whether I am likely to miss the next flight?

Airline Staff

I understand the concern. Let me check the current travel information and the options available.

Passenger

If the connection is no longer realistic, I would prefer to know the rebooking options before boarding.

Airline Staff

There are two possible ways to handle it. I will explain the timing and conditions for each.

Passenger

My main concern is to solve the problem without creating a second problem somewhere else.

Airline Staff

That is sensible. We should consider both the immediate result and what happens afterwards.

Passenger

Could you compare the earliest alternative with the option that keeps my checked baggage on the same route?

Airline Staff

That is a sensible preference. Let me confirm whether we can arrange it that way.

Passenger

If that option cannot be done exactly as proposed, I am open to a practical alternative as long as the key concern is addressed.

Airline Staff

Good. That flexibility gives us room to find a solution without losing the main objective.

Passenger

Thank you. Please confirm the new flight number and whether I need to collect my baggage during the connection.

Airline Staff

All right. I will confirm the final details so you know exactly what to do next.

Passenger

Thank you. I appreciate having the reasoning and the next step made explicit.

Airline Staff

You are welcome. Clear expectations usually prevent the same issue from returning.

Useful Expressions

  • Could you compare the options?
  • Ideally, I’d like to…
  • Before I decide, could you confirm…?
  • That works for me.

Speak it aloud

Read the conversation once. Then choose one role and speak only that role aloud. On the second round, close the page after each line and try to respond naturally in your own words.

Practise This Situation with Timer

Practice Challenge

Keep the same situation but change two details. For example, change the time, place, problem, preference or reason. Try to continue the conversation for one extra minute without reading.
