In the airport 2
Carter:Are liquids still restricted on board?
Security:No, the restriction banning aerosols, liquids and gels has been lifted. Now they're allowed in limited quantities.
Carter:How limited?
Security:Three ounces or less. That's eighty-five grams in metric.
Carter:Any other restrictions on them?
Security:They have to fit comfortably in a quart-size, seal-top plastic bag, so the inspectors can look without touching. Please take your coat off and place it on the conveyor belt. Walk through the metal detector, please. Do you have any metal in your pockets, sir?
Carter:No, I put everything... Ah, wait! My belt buckle! Could that be it?
Security:Sometimes a belt buckle can set off the alarm. Remove your belt please, sir.
Security:Now come back through, please.
Immigration Officer:Have a nice day. Next! Is your trip for business or pleasure?
Carter:Business.
Immigration Officer:How long are you staying?
Carter:It should just be for three or four days.

In the airport 1
Carter:Good morning. I'd like to check in, please.
Counter Attendant:Morning, Mr. Heart. All right, please put your check-in bags on the scale. This one is okay. This one is over weight and over size.
Carter:What's the size restriction?
Counter Attendant:Total dimensions for checked bags may not exceed 203 centimeters; length plus width plus height. Bags bigger are subject to a fee. Extra bags are subject to a fee, too. You're allowed two checked bags; for a third bag, there's a fee of US$50, up to nine bags. After that, the fee goes up to US$110 per extra bag.
Carter:You said one of the bags was over weight. What's the restriction on weight?
Counter Attendant:Bags up to 22.7 kilograms are free. For seven more kilos there is a US$25 charge per bag. For the next thirteen kilos, the fee is US$50 per bag.
Carter:What about bags over forty-five kilograms?
Counter Attendant:They are not allowed.
Carter:What else should I know before I go through security?
Counter Attendant:Shoes have to go through the X-ray machine, too. Remember to put your laptop, cell phone, and other electronic devices in a basket.
Carter:Camera, too?
Counter Attendant:Camera too, but not the film. The X-rays will expose the film, so pass that to the inspector to check by hand.
Carter:You are a wealth of information!
Counter Attendant:It's my job. Have a good flight, sir.
