Swift Cars, good evening. Where can we take you?
Hi! I need a taxi to Heathrow tomorrow morning.
No problem. What time is your flight?
It's at 9:30, from Terminal 5.
And the flight number, please?
BA 2490.
Sorry, was that 2419?
No, 2490. Nine, then zero.
Got it. I'd suggest a pickup at 5:45.
A quarter to six? That early?
I'm afraid so. The traffic can be terrible.
Ugh, fine. A quarter to six it is.
And what's the pickup address?
13 Albany Street.
Did you say 13 or 30?
13. One, three.
Thanks. Those two always sound the same on the phone!
Could I take a mobile number, in case the driver needs you?
Sure. It's American: +1 212 555 0163.
Let me check. +1 212, triple five...
Ha, triple five! Yes, that's right.
And then 0163?
Exactly. 0163.
Oh, and how much will it cost?
It's a fixed price of £65.
Hmm, okay. Can I pay by card?
Yes, all our drivers take cards.
So, that's 5:45 tomorrow, from 13 Albany Street.
Perfect. Thank you so much!
You're welcome. Have a safe flight!
