Booking a Taxi to the Airport
A: Can I help you, ma’am?
B: Yes, I need a taxi to the airport tomorrow morning.
A: No problem.I can arrange that for you right now. What time is your flight?
B: I think it’s around 9:30, so can the taxi come around eight o’clock?
A: Actually, you’ll probably want the taxi to pick you up around 6:30.
B: 6:30? Are you sure?
A: Well, the airport is pretty far from here, as you know. And it’s been taking people a really long time to get through security recently.
B: I guess you’re right. Can you call me before the taxi comes tomorrow morning? I need about an hour to wake up and get ready.
A: No problem.I’ll schedule a wake-up call for 5:30.
