For some people the slow pace of large ships makes them particularly attractive and popular for certain kinds of holidays, such as cruises.
What currency have you got? - I’ve got US dollars.
Some disadvantages of air travel are the embarrassment of going through customs, of watching an officer turning over your personal belongings ... .
Your flight is delayed. It will leave at 15.45.
You will need to study the timetable carefully so that you do not miss the de parture time.
Many British people take holidays in Spain and choose to take their car on the ferry for some part of the journey in order to save them a lot of driving. Often there are special rails for you to lock your bike to at the entrance to workplaces, universities, schools and shops.
Gate 8 is to the left of the exit.
Car ferries still operate between Britain and the Continent in spite of the Channel Tunnel.
Flight number 02703 to Lviv departs in 30 minutes.
An excellent travel bookshop contains hundreds of different maps and travel guides.
We still continue to use a car for the shortest trip to the local supermarket as well as for long trans-European journeys. For longer journeys the car is slow, un comfortable and tiring, but it permits you to carry more luggage and to travel when you wish.
Be quick. I wouldn’t like to miss the train.
