Woman: What's the airport like in your town?

Man: Well, it's only a short distance from the centre of town so that's good, and it's pretty easy to get there. It only costs about twenty-five dollars by taxi, or you can take a bus from most of the hotels.

Woman: Is it a big airport?

Man: It's fairly big. It's not a very pleasant place to spend time.

Woman: How come?

Man:There isn't much to do there. They really should put in some stores and cafes.

Woman: That would help.

Man:Luckily you don't have to spend much time there because it usually takes about fifteen minutes to check in and go through security.

Man: What's the new airport like?

Woman: It's fantastic. Much better than the old one.

Man: Is it far from town?

Woman: Not really. It's only about fifteen miles from the city, so it doesn't take long to get there.

Man:That's good.

Woman: Yes, now you can get out on a fast train which makes the trip very comfortable.

Man:How nice. What are the facilities like at the airport?

Woman: It's almost like a big shopping mall. There are departement stores, shops, a game centre and even a gym.

Man: It sounds great.

Woman: Yeah, it is. The only trouble is, it's always very crowded, so it can take a while to check in. They really need to add some more check-in counters to speed things up

Woman: Is the new airport close to town?

Man: Yeah, really close.

Woman: Does it take long to get to the airport?

Man: Well, you have to go by taxi or train, so it depends on how long you it takes you to get a taxi. There are never enough taxies that go to the airport, so you have to wait for a while. You can go by train, but it's not very easy to get on when you're carrying bags. there really should be a bus service in the town.

Woman: I agree.

Man:Yeah, but when you get there it's okay. There are lots of good duty free stores and the restaurants are pretty good. Try the Italian restaurant there, it's excellent.

Woman: Does it take long to check in?

Man: No, check-in usually goes pretty quickly

Man: What do you think of the airport?

Woman: Well, it's far from downtown, and when the traffic is bad, it can take an hour and a half to get there. The city really needs to build a new airport that is closer to the city.

Man:Do you usually drive to the airport?

Woman: No, I usually take the airport bus. The bus is pretty nice. It's clean and comfortable, and it's a lot cheaper than driving because you don't have to pay for parking.

Man: Is there much to do while you wait for your flight?

Woman: Sure. There are a couple of stores that sell souvenirs and magazines. There are also a couple of fast-food places and they're fine for coffee and a sandwich.

Man: How long does it take to check in?

Woman: It doesn't take long. They're pretty efficient.
