What English do you need at the airport?

Let me weigh your bag... I'm sorry, but your suitcase is 28 kilos. The limit is 23 kilos, so it's 5 kilos over.

让我称一下您的行李……抱歉，您的箱子是28公斤。限重23公斤，超了5公斤。

The excess fee is $15 per kilo, so that would be $75 for the 5 kilos over. Alternatively, you could rearrange some items into a carry-on if you have one.

超重费是每公斤15美元，5公斤超重就是75美元。或者您可以把一些东西移到随身行李里，如果您有的话。

Actually, checking a second bag is $50, which would be cheaper if you can split the weight. Your second bag would need to be under 23 kilos. Do you have another bag you could use?

其实，托运第二件行李是50美元，如果您能分散重量的话会更便宜。第二件行李需要23公斤以内。您有其他袋子可以用吗？

Yes, credit card is fine. I'll process the payment now... All done. Here's your receipt. Your bag is checked through to your final destination.

可以的，刷信用卡就行。我现在处理付款……好了。这是您的收据。您的行李已经直挂到最终目的地了。

I'd recommend weighing your bag at home before you leave. You can buy a portable luggage scale for about $10 — it's a great investment. Also, wearing your heaviest shoes and jacket on the plane can save a couple of kilos!

建议您出发前在家称一下行李。买一个便携行李秤大概10美元——很划算。另外，把最重的鞋子和外套穿上飞机可以省几公斤！

💡 穿最重的衣物上飞机是很多资深旅行者的常用技巧，可以有效减轻行李重量。

Your bag is 32 kilos — that's 9 kilos over the limit. The excess fee would be $135.

您的行李是32公斤——超了9公斤。超重费是135美元。

Of course, there's a repacking area right behind you with a table and a scale. Take your time — just come back to the counter when you're ready.

当然可以，您身后有一个重新打包的区域，有桌子和秤。慢慢来——打包好了再回柜台。

Let's see... 25 kilos now. That's still 2 kilos over. The fee would be $30. Or if you can remove just a little more, you'd be under the limit.

看看……现在25公斤。还是超了2公斤。费用是30美元。或者如果您能再拿出一点点，就不超了。

I understand. Let me check with my supervisor... Okay, since it's only 2 kilos over and you've already repacked, we can let it go this time. But please try to stay within the limit for your return flight.

我理解。让我问一下主管……好的，因为只超了2公斤而且您已经重新打包了，这次我们可以通融。但是回程的时候请尽量控制在限重以内。

💡 并非所有航空公司都会通融，低成本航空公司尤其严格。但礼貌地询问有时候会有帮助。

No problem. One more tip — if you're a frequent flyer or have a credit card with airline benefits, you might get a higher baggage allowance. Something to look into!

没问题。再给您一个建议——如果您是常旅客或有航空公司联名信用卡，可能会有更高的行李限额。可以了解一下！
