Tell the airline which flight you are taking and ask about your bags and gate.

The idea

Use checking in for to identify the flight. Ask Can I check this bag? about a bag for the hold and Which gate? for the departure gate.

Examples

  • I am checking in for the flight to Rome.
  • Here is my passport and booking number.
  • Can I check this bag?
  • Is this bag small enough for the cabin?
  • Which gate does the flight leave from?
  • What time does boarding begin?

Watch out

Check a bag means give it to the airline for the hold; cabin baggage travels with you. Confirm the allowance with the airline.
