You: Excuse me, is this the gate for flight 1388 to Toronto?
Agent: I’m sorry, but the flight left just a couple minutes ago.
You: Oh no! What should I do?
Agent: Go to the Global Airlines check-in desk and ask them to put you on the next available flight.
(at the check-in desk)
You: Hi. My flight from Buenos Aires was delayed and I missed my connection to Toronto. When’s the next available flight?
Agent: Let me see… unfortunately, the 7:20 flight is full, but I can get you on one at 10:10.
You: That’ll be fine.
Agent: Your passport, please… would you like a window or an aisle seat?
You: A window seat.
Agent: All right – you’ll be departing from gate 28B in Terminal 4, and your seat number is 5A.
You: Thanks!
