Let’s start with some vocabulary used before your flight:

Checked luggage / large, heavy luggage you will not carry onto the plane
Carry-on luggage / bags we take on the plane with us
Boarding pass / Plane ticket, with gate #, seat #, boarding time.
Security checkpoint / to scan ourselves and our carry on bags for dangerous things
Immigration checkpoint / to exit the country and have your passports checked
Moving along, let’s go through some phrases on the plane:
Aisle seat / a seat beside the aisle
Window seat / a seat beside the window
Emergency exit / in case of emergency this door can be open to let everyone out
Complimentary / same meaning as free, you don’t need to pay extra money
