Warm-up

about the traveling-by-air experience?
Warm-up
- When was the last time you took a flight? Where
did you go? Why did you go?
And you can quote me…
Read and answer the questions.
"The bad news is time flies. The good news is you
are the pilot."
-- Michael Altshuler
(U.S. Entrepreneur)
- What does this quote mean to you?
- Do you agree or disagree? Why or why not?
- How are you the “pilot” in your life? What do you like
to do with your time?
- Do you wish you had more time? Why or why not?
Speak your mind.
Share your thoughts and opinions.

mind.
- Cheap flights with hidden charges or expensive flights
with all charges included?

Imagine that!
As a class, create a story.
Imagine you overslept and have to catch a flight
that leaves in two hours. The airport is at least 30
minutes away. Imagine
- What will you do to get to the airport as soon as
possible?
- What will you do when you get to the airport?
that!
- What are some things you must get done before
getting on your flight?
- What will you do if you miss your flight?
Answer me this!

been to? What made them so good/bad?
4. What do you think are some good services an airport
could offer? How would it make the travel experience
better?
5. What are the three most important travel tips you
consider before traveling?
Before you go!
Here’s some cultural fun:
To be a professional pilot in the U.S., you must go
to flight school. You must complete at least 1,500
flying hours and pass multiple tests to obtain a
commercial pilot license. A recreational pilot
license, on the other hand, only requires 30 flying
hours.
- Do you think being a pilot is a difficult job?
- How can a person become a pilot in your country?
- What are some other jobs a person can have related
to flying? Would you like to work for an airline?
- Do you have a pilot’s license? If so, where do you like
to fly? If not, would you be interested in getting one?
