Airport Check-In: My Suitcase Is Too Heavy

Good morning! Where are you flying today?

Hi! I'm flying to Chicago!

Great. Can I see your passport, please?

Sure, here you go!

Thank you. Are you checking any bags today?

Yes, just this big suitcase.

Okay, please put it on the scale.

Hmm... it's 26 kilos.

Oh no. Is that a problem?

I'm afraid the weight limit is 23 kilos.

So there's an overweight fee of $75.

$75? Seriously?

Ugh, that's more than my hotel!

Well, do you have a carry-on bag?

Yes, this small backpack. Why?

Don't worry, you can move some things into it.

Oh, good idea! Let me try.

Okay... my shoes, two books, and my jacket.

Great. Let's put it back on the scale.

22.5 kilos. Perfect!

Yes! No fee!

Now, would you like an aisle or a window seat?

A window seat, please.

I love looking at the clouds!

Ha, you're lucky. There's one left, 14A.

Wow, thank you so much!

Here's your boarding pass.

Your gate is B12, and boarding time is 9:40.

Sorry, what time did you say?

9:40. Don't be late!

I won't. Thanks for your help!

You're welcome. Have a great flight!
