Hello,

I was just wondering how one uses the terms "check in" and "check out", for example,

(a) How long before my flight do I need to check in?; and

(b) What time do I need to check out of my hotel?

Thanks,

SR

Wow, what a great site, thanks!

But be aware that check-in for a plane 登机 (dēngjī), is different from check-in for a hotel
登记 (dēngjì)

And 退房 doesn't necessarily mean check-out - it can just mean vacate your room (eg to move to
another room). A hotel I was at insisted that if I changed rooms after the designated 退房 time,
I'd have to pay half a day's extra rent, even though I was just moving across the corridor

I'd call that 换房 though, or 让房. 退房 implies you are leaving.

You have a bright future ahead as a reasonable receptionist.

Ah yes, Airport vocab, some other good ones:

Check in gate: 登机口
Behind Schedule: 晚点
check tickets: 检票
Stewardess: 空姐
The plane is crashing!: 我们飞机要坠毁了！

Quote:

我们飞机要坠毁了！

This sentence would be very difficult to say correctly when it's happening (but still, don't
practise it while sitting in the plane, please! )

Yea if you believe in bad luck its probably best NOT to practice that one!
