Nigel Lynch is editor of Business Travel Weekly.
W: Nigel, thanks for being on the show. Now what kind of problems do airline passengers face nowadays?
M: Well, most of the problems are caused by the heavy volume of traffic. You know, all airports have a limit to the number of takeoffs and landings they can handle.
W: So what seems to be the problem?
M: A11 flights from a busy airport arrive and leave at more or less the same time. If sixty aircraft are scheduled to take off between five PM and five fifteen, and the airport can only handle a hundred and twenty an hour, that means some will always be late landing or taking off. And if the weather is bad, you can imagine what the situation is like. So passengers have to be loaded into each plane and then the planes have to line up to take off.
W: So waiting at the lounge or on the plane is quite common.
M: Certainly. And another problem that’s very common is overbooking. Quite often you hear an announcement on the airport loudspeakers, "We have oversold on this flight and would like volunteers to go on the next flight out" If you decide to volunteer, you may get a cash bribe or a free trip voucher, but make sure you get a guaranteed seat on the next flight and a free phone call to whoever is meeting you on the other end. And worse still, you arrive with a confirmed reservation and you discover you’ve been bumped off the flight.
W: Presumably, if you choose to travel at off-peak times, there are fewer problems.
M: Well, there are no off-peak times. All flights seem to be full, except Saturday. I don’t quite understand why this is so. You know if there is a public holiday, things are likely to be especially busy. The special fare systems on the airlines’ computers encourage more people to fly on less popular flights. And this means that as a result, all flights are equally full.
W: So what advice would you give to business travelers?
M: I’d say, avoid big airports if you can. The reason is there are too many flights there. Then remember not to check your baggage if you can help it. Another thing is, be prepared for delays. Take something to eat and drink in your hand luggage.
1. According to Nigel, what cause(s)most problems of air travel?
2. Why is there limit to the number of takeoffs and landings?
3. What is NOT mentioned as compensation for volunteers for the next flight out?
4. Why are all flights equally full?
5. Why does Nigel suggest that business travelers avoid big airports?
选项
A、Free ticket.
B、Free phone call.
C、Cash reward.
D、Seat reservation.
答案
D
解析
本题考查对于主动转乘下一航班的旅客的补偿。根据录音,这样的旅客有可能得到cash bribe或a free trip voucher,排除A项“免费机票”和C项“现金奖励”。但旅客须确保下一航班有座位,并能打免费电话通知接机人员。接着男士说:更糟的是,你确认过给你预留了座位,到达后却发现自己上不了机。由此可见,预订机位这一条是不保险的,不在优惠措施之列。故选D项。
