    The guests will arrive around noon tomorrow. I will be preparing the guest room all morning.

    Dutch Hij zal de kaart bekijken voor de reis. De route vanaf het vliegveld is ingewikkeld.

    He will look at the map for the trip. The route from the airport is complicated.

    Dutch De incheck sluit vanavond om elf uur. We moeten vroeg weg om problemen te voorkomen.

    Check-in closes tonight at eleven o'clock. We must leave early to avoid problems.

    Dutch Ik heb onze bagage al ingepakt. De taxichauffeur heeft onze ophaaltijd gisteren bevestigd.

    I have already packed our luggage. The taxi driver confirmed our pickup time yesterday.

  5. Lars
    Dutch Briljant. Heb je eraan gedacht onze instapkaart te printen? Sommige luchthavens vragen nog papieren versies.

    Brilliant. Did you remember to print our boarding pass? Some airports still ask for paper versions.

  6. Anna
    Dutch Ja, ze zitten in mijn handtas. Ik heb ook onze paspoorten en de boekingsbevestiging.

    Yes, they're in my handbag. I also have our passports and the booking confirmation.

    Good idea. Reception desks sometimes lose information, especially in busy seasons.

  9. Lars
    Dutch Klopt. Ik heb ook onze smartphone en tablet opgeladen voor de vlucht. Lange reizen zijn ondraaglijk zonder vermaak.
