Airline phrases

[david-us.livejournal.com]

I am an airline pilot and, on occasion, I have the opportunity to use what little Russian language skills I have to help a non-English speaking Russian passenger at the airport.

I was wondering if somebody, fluent in Russian, could tell me how a Russian would say these phrases. These are all related to things you might say at an airport.

"Just follow the signs to get to the baggage claim area."

"Do you need a motorized cart to get to your next gate?"

"What kind of assistance do you need?"

"What is your flight number?"

"Where did you fly in from?"

"What city are you flying to?"

"Are you making a connection?"

"I need to see your ticket."

"Are you traveling alone?"

* * * *

I think I could manage some of these. I'm mostly interested if there are specific words that are commonly used that I'm unaware of. For instance, I don't know what Russians use for "gate" - as in the area of the terminal where you get on your specific flight.

Also, how do Russians say "Flight Attendant"?

For an airline pilot, would they say "летчик" or "пилот"?

Oh, I could probably think of many more. If you have some handy airport phrases that you want to add - feel free!

Thanks!

Airline pilot - пилОт.
Flight Attendant - стюАрд (man) or стюардЕсса (woman).

[natha1ie.livejournal.com]

In airport Gate usually Выход, not ворота.

[hound-lancer.livejournal.com]

Exactly! Выход is what they usually say in the Russian airports

[alamar.livejournal.com]

"Airline pilot"
In fact, I guess there's a special term special for that case.
Like, командир экипажа, maybe? I don't remember exactly.

[ksana.livejournal.com]

командир корабля as they usually announce in the plane -)

We usually use word "гэйт" as a "gate".

[goluboglazaya.livejournal.com]

not "гЭйт", but "гЕйт"

[2007april.livejournal.com]

Sorry, but we pronouns it as "гЭйт".

[goluboglazaya.livejournal.com]

I myself and the others I've heard pronounce it with E in the middle. There're probably two different ways of pronouncing it.

It might be useful:
Check-in - we use both "чекИн" and "окошко (стойка) регистрации (на рейс),
self check-in - авторегистрация, самостоятельная регистрация,
Duty free - магазин беспошлинной торговли, дьЮти-фрИ
cabin baggage - ручная кладь, салонный багаж
