The Big Idea
Ask about the new timing, gate, and available options. If you have a connection, explain that and confirm the next step.
Your screen suddenly changes from ON TIME to DELAYED.
Now what?
You do not need perfect English. You need a few useful questions that help you understand what happens next.
Ask about the delay
- “How long is the delay?”
- “What time will we board?”
- “Is the gate still the same?”
- “What time is the new departure?”
If you have a connection
- “Will I miss my connection?”
- “Do I have enough time?”
- “Is there another flight today?”
- “Can you rebook me?”
- “Where do I go for connecting flights?”
Meals, hotels, and support
- “Do I get a meal voucher?”
- “Do I get a hotel voucher?”
- “Where can I get food?”
- “Where is the hotel shuttle?”
- “What options are available?”
If you do not understand
- “Sorry, what was that?”
- “Could you say that again, please?”
- “Could you speak a little slower, please?”
- “Could you write it down?”
- “Could you show me on the map?”
