It was even worse when they ____ online check-in, because you could get to the airport forty minutes before the flight and still ____ it if nothing went ____. Unfortunately, when I got stuck in ____ traffic, or the train was ____ or it took ____ to go ____ security, I missed flights. But then a friend bought me a tablet and I realised that waiting was actually enjoyable. I could read, watch films, relax! 2 The first time I missed a flight, I actually ____ really early and planned to arrive almost two hours ____ my flight. However, when I got to the train station to go to the airport, I found that they were ____ repairs on the line and there was a bus to ____ the train – a very old, slow one. We eventually ____ at the airport three minutes after the check-in closed! 3 Once, I was ____ a very early flight to go back home. I got to the ____ gate in ____ of time, but I was really tired, so I decided to have a little sleep while I was waiting. When I woke up, there were no passengers around me and the woman from the ____ was walking away from the ____. There wasn’t another flight for ten hours! I hate waiting! 4 One year, we were travelling to see family in Ivory Coast and we ____ flights in Charles de Gaulle Airport, Paris. We had an hour to get the ____. We landed on ____, but from the plane there was a bus; then we walked; we ____ a train; we walked and walked (more quickly); we ____ for security again; we ran. We ____ the connection. 5 I was going to see a friend once and I went to London Stansted airport. I checked the ____ ____, but I couldn’t see my ____, which I thought was strange. I looked at my ticket again and it said Gatwick Airport – on the opposite side of the city! 6 Which brings me to my last and most recent lesson. I ____ early and sat down to read my book – a crime story by Jo Nesbø. As the story got more and more exciting, I completely ____ the time. I was reading the last few pages when I suddenly ____ the last ____ for my flight. Unfortunately, airports are big places and when I ____ to the ____, it was closed. I sat down and finished my book.
