At the airport.

John arrived at the airport two hours ago to catch his plane to Madrid. At the check-in-counter, a ticket agent looked at his ticket and his passport; his baggage was checked in (weighted on the scales). John's suitcases were very heavy, so he had to pay an excess baggage charge (amount of money for additional weight).

Next he was given a boarding pass (a ticket that allows him to get on the plane). The boarding pass has a seat number written on it, and John was given a window seat in the non-smoking section. His suitcases were labeled and sent off to be loaded into the hold of the airplane.

While waiting for the flight to be called, John goes to the newsstand to buy a newspaper. Then he goes through the security check, where his carry-on luggage (the bags he is keeping with him on the plane) is searched. Then John goes into the duty-free shop where he has a chance to buy some things cheaply. The goods he buys here are cheap because they are not taxed.

In the departure lounge John joins the other passengers who are sitting and waiting until it is time for their flight to depart. After a few minutes John hears the announcement: flight 156 to Madrid now boarding at gate 3, and he goes to board (get on) her plane.
