B: Not bad, though I had a little trouble before boarding.
A: What was wrong?
B: I was caught in a traffic jam and almost missed the flight. But I managed to get to the airport in time
A: Congratulations! Which flight did you take?
B: British Airways, Flight BA 554.
A: Was it easy for you to find the right counter?
B: Yes, the information was displayed on the monitor.
A: Since there was not much time left for you, I hope there wasn't a terrible line-up at the counter.
B: Luckily, no. The queue was quite short. But I had another problem.
A: What was that?
B: When I handed in my passport, the airline agent looked at it for a long time.
A: Why? Did the agent think your passport was a fake?
B: No, she didn't, but she told me that my passport was going to expire in a week. So you see, I had to fly back quickly.
A: I hope that was the end of your troubles.
B: Not completely. I still had trouble with my baggage.
A: What was the problem?
B: It was overweight. It took me a while to go through the procedure.
A: Any good news before you boarded the plane?
B: Yes, when I asked for a window seat, I got one. You know, I wouldn't like to take an aisleor middle seat where I couldn't enjoy the view.
A: I prefer an aisle seat, though. So that I can stretch my legs and occasionally stand up.
B: Finally the agent gave me the boarding pass, and it said that my flight would be boarding at Gate 24 in just minutes. So I had to run!
A: But you made it! Good for you
