A) Read the following text and underline the six verbs that refer to obligation.

• Traveling.

When you travel abroad there are certain regulations that you have to comply with; the immigration authorities in all countries require visitors to be in possession of the necessary travel documents. This means that they need to have at least a valid passport. However, depending on the country, they don’t necessarily have to obtain a visa as well. Travelers must also be fully aware of the restrictions that apply to the goods that they are carrying. In some countries you must not import or export certain categories of goods such as plants, alcohol, or cultural artifacts.

Which of the verbs that you underline are used to do the following?

1. Talk about things that you are forced to do: must, have to, require, need to

2. Indicate that something is not obligatory: don’t, have to

3. Talk about things that you are not allowed to do: must not

B) Read the instruction for passengers and complete then with the appropriate verbs forms.

Sky Ways: Airlines.

• Tickets.

Passengers do not need a ticket when traveling on Sky Ways airlines if they have made their reservations online. However, in order to complete our check-in procedures, all passengers need to provide check-in staff with both personal ID and their order confirmation number. Our check- in policy has been specially designed to ensure that you don’t have to spend more than 30 minutes waiting in line and all passengers are invited to register at least one hour before scheduled flight departures.

• Baggage.

Sky Ways allows passengers 20 kilograms of checked baggage and one piece of hand luggage. If checked luggage weight exceeds the allowance, passengers will have to pay an extra charge of five euros per kilo. Hand luggage must not weigh more than five kilograms and has to fit into the spaces provided on the aircraft for under seat or overhead storage.

Passengers area reminded that they have to be able to certify that all their bags have been packed personally and that they do not contain any prohibited items. They are also advised that, as a result of the new international security procedures, locked baggage may have to be opened by security personnel.

• Special conditions.

Sky Ways airlines flights may sometimes be overbooked and there is therefore a slight chance that passengers will be required to accept seats on alternative flights.

If you have any doubts about Sky Ways travel procedures, all you need to do is call our travel helpline at 08009797979.
