1 / 8
Remi
Airline check-in counter. You're handing your passport to the staff, choosing a window/aisle seat, and placing one bag to check. A short phrase is enough.

Here's my passport.

I have one bag to check.
I have one bag to check.
'To check' means 'to check in a bag', not 'to confirm'. check in a bag = to send as luggage.
Window seat, please.
Please give me a window seat.
Aisle seat, please.
Please give me an aisle seat.
The 's' in aisle is silent. It's pronounced 'aisle' (aɪl), not 'aisle'.
