地道美语听力练习:选择廉价航空公司问题多

Anton:It's amazing that we were able to get these airline tickets so cheaply.

Federica:It's great, isn't it?

We can fly to Lawrence City for a fun weekend.

Let's check in using this kiosk.

Anton:Hmm, this is asking me to pay $50 to bring a piece of luggage aboard.

I didn't know there were such strict baggage restrictions.

Federica:I didn't realize it either.

Anton:And we have to pay another fee to reserve a seat.

I didn't know that the default was open seating.

Federica:Me, neither.

Anton:Did you know that we're not flying directly to Lawrence City, but making two stops on the way?

Federica:Oh, no!

Anton:And there are other hidden fees for what they consider add-ons, things we would normally get for free on other airlines, like a soda, snack, blanket, and in-flight entertainment?

Federica:No, that's news to me.

Anton:Here's the kicker.

We're not flying into Lawrence City Airport but to a remote airport 60 miles away.

We'll pay a lot for ground transportation to our hotel.

Should we get a refund and forget about the trip?

Federica:Sorry, one thing I do know is that there are no refunds or changes allowed.

Anton:I should have known flying on a budget airline would be like this.

It doesn't seem like such a good deal now, does it?

Federica:No, this airline has turned nickel-and- diming into an art form!
