[여행/공항] (EE-436) 저가 항공사 비행 (Flying on a Budget Airline)

[Write 2 Speak]

Anton: It’s amazing that we were able to get these airline tickets so cheaply.

Federica: It’s great, isn’t it? We can fly to Lawrence City for a fun weekend. Let’s check in using this kiosk.
* check in = 투숙[탑승] 수속을 밟다, 체크인하다/ kiosk = 안내소(박스 형태의 작은 공간, 부스)

Anton: Hmm, this is asking me to pay $50 to bring a piece of luggage aboard. I didn’t know there were
such strict baggage restrictions.
* baggage restriction = 수하물 규제[제한]

Federica: I didn’t realize it either.

Anton: And we have to pay another fee to reserve a seat. I didn’t know that the default was open seating.
* reserve = 예약하다/ default = 고유한 설정/ open seating = 예약이 없는 좌석

Federica: Me, neither.

Anton: Did you know that we’re not flying directly to Lawrence City, but making two stops on the way?
* fly directly to ~ = ~로 직항하다

Federica: Oh, no!

Anton: And there are other hidden fees for what they consider add-ons, things we would normally get
for free on other airlines, like a soda, snack, blanket, and in-flight entertainment?
* hidden fee = 숨겨진 수수료/ add-on = 추가[부가]물/ in-flight entertainment = 기내 오락

Federica: No, that’s news to me.

Anton: Here’s the kicker. We’re not flying into Lawrence City Airport but to a remote airport 60 miles away.
We’ll pay a lot for ground transportation to our hotel. Should we get a refund and forget about the trip?
* kicker = 뜻밖의 결말[사실]/ remote = 외딴, 외진/ ground transportation = 육상 수송/ refund = 환불[금]

Federica: Sorry, one thing I do know is that there are no refunds or changes allowed.

Anton: I should have known flying on a budget airline would be like this.
It doesn’t seem like such a good deal now, does it?
* budget airline = 저가 항공사

Federica: No, this airline has turned nickel-and-diming into an art form!
* nickel-and-dime = 인색하게 굴다; 소액의, 보잘것 없는/ turn ~ into = ~을 ~으로 바꿔 놓다/ art form = 예술 행위[형식]
