Are you, like me, the sort of person who loves to travel by plane and find airports really exciting? We’re going to make traveling by air a lot more fun by adding several simple Spanish words and phrases to your Spanish vocabulary that will be really helpful when you’re at the airport.
¡Vamos a viajar en avión! – Let’s travel by aeroplane!
Once you’ve reached the airport, you need to go to the check-in desk – el mostrador de facturación – to check-in – la facturación. There you will also check-in your luggage – el registro de equipage, if appropriate. From here, you then go through the security check – el control de seguridad – and these days, un registro personal – a body frisk. After the security checks have been done, you can head for la sala de espera – the departure lounge.
Watching all the aeroplanes landing and taking off at the airport is something I really like doing. To say this is Spanish is so easy:
Me encanta ver los aviones aterrizar y despegar
The Spanish phrase for a runway is una pista de aterrizaje which is normally cut down to just “la pista”.
As soon as your flight – el vuelo – is ready, you can begin boarding the aeroplane. See if you can translate this easy Spanish phrase:
Tenemos que embarcar el avión ahora. ¿Tienes la tarjeta de embarque?
I bet you got it! Embarcar is the Spanish verb “to board” and la tarjeta de embarque is a boarding pass, nice and straightforward agreed? You can then give the flight attendant – el/la auxiliar de vuelo – your boarding pass and enter the cabin – entrar en el avión. Pilots sit in the cockpit – la cabina del avión which is a little bit confusing.
Now it’s time to take up your seat fasten-up the safety belt – el cinturón de seguridad – and prepare for take-off! Taking off is what I enjoy the most because I enjoy feeling the power of the engines – la potencia de los motores – while the plane is heading into the sky.
When the aircraft has landed, you can collect your luggage – recoger el equipaje and make your way through arrivals – llegadas. El desfase horario – jet-lag – is another useful word to add to your Spanish vocabulary so you can describe how you’re feeling after long-haul flights.
You now have a good selection of Spanish phrases sure to come in useful when you’re traveling by air to or from Spanish speaking countries. They’re nice and easy to learn too, and will add depth and color to your Spanish.
