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.
