Excuse me. I need to check in for my flight.

Of course. May I have your passport and e-ticket confirmation?

Sure. Here you go.

Thank you. [Typing sound] Ms. Winston, I found your reservation to fly from Los Angeles to Seoul. Would you like a window or an aisle seat?

Window seat, please. I’ve always wanted to see Seoul’s skyline from a plane.

Okay. You’re assigned to 12A. If you have any luggage to check in, would you put it here?

Oh, yes. [Sound of luggage dropping]

Hmm... It weighs 35 kilograms, but the limit for business class is 30 kilograms. I’m afraid you’ll need to pay a fee for the extra weight.

Oh, no! I wasn’t aware of that. How much will it cost for the extra weight?

The fee is $100, payable in cash or with a credit card. Which one would you like to use?

I’ll use my credit card.

All right. [Pause] You’re all set. Here is your boarding pass. Your flight is departing from Gate D5. The boarding time is 11:45. Have a great flight to Seoul.
