Talk about what you do before getting on an airplane.

When I travel overseas, I usually arrive at the airport at least 2 hours ahead of time. First and foremost, I go to the airline counter and check in for my flight. I present my passport, check my luggage, and receive my boarding pass. I can choose a window seat or an aisle seat. Next, I pass through security with my carry-on luggage. I pass through a metal detector, and check whether I have something that is banned. There are duty-free shops on the way to the gate, so sometimes I shop for duty-free goods. Then, I head over to the boarding gate. Boarding usually begins 30 minutes before departure time. When I board the plane, I find my seat and place my luggage in the overhead bin. Finally, I sit down, buckle up, and wait for takeoff.

What time is it? Did we come to the airport too early?

It's only 9 o'clock. We have some time to kill before boarding.

What do you want to do?

Let's check out the duty-free shops. Then we can get some coffee.
