Question 1

Which thing can you NOT take in your hand luggage?

Accepted Answer

A mobile phone that doesn't work

Answer

Explanation:
A mobile phone that doesn't work: Security staff must be able to check that your phone works, so it needs to be fully charged. If it doesn't work, you can't take it on the plane.

Question 2

Which of these can NOT go as hand luggage?

Accepted Answer

A suitcase, a laptop, and a handbag that weigh 10kg in total

Answer

Explanation:
A suitcase, a laptop, and a handbag that weighs 10kg in total: This is not allowed. You are only permitted one suitcase and one additional small bag (either a laptop bag or a handbag), not both a laptop bag and a handbag.

Question 3

What will happen to hand luggage that weighs 11kg?

Accepted Answer

It has to go under the plane.

Answer

Explanation:
According to the text, "If your bag is too big or too heavy, you will not be allowed to take it onto the plane. Staff will put it in the hold for you and you will have to pay extra." Therefore, if your hand luggage weighs 11kg, it is too heavy to be taken as hand luggage and must go under the plane in the hold, and you will have to pay extra for it.

Question 4

Samia and Gregor are going to meet on Sunday.

Accepted Answer

False

Answer

Explanation:
Gregor mentioned in the email that Saturday is better for him because he is meeting his parents on Sunday. He suggested that Samia come over on Saturday, so they are planning to meet on Saturday, not Sunday.

Question 5

They're going to have lunch at Gregor's flat.

Accepted Answer

True

Answer

Explanation:
Gregor invited Samia to his flat, mentioning, "Then you can see the new flat and all the work we've done on the kitchen since we moved in. We can eat at home and then go for a walk in the afternoon." This indicates they are planning to have lunch at Gregor's flat.
