飛行機の座席変更をお願いしてみよう

Changing a seat
客室乗務員に通路側の座席から窓側の座席への変更をお願いしよう。
着席したシートがいまいちの時もあるかも知れませんね。家族や友達と座席が離れていた、泣いている赤ちゃんの隣だった、通路側の座席に座って足を伸ばすスペースがもっと欲しかった、トイレに近い席が良かった、離れている方が良かった、などいろいろあって座席を代わってほしい状況があるものです。

Hello, what can I do for you?

If it's possible, could I change to another seat? This middle seat is uncomfortable for me. A grand staff working at the check-in counter told me there were only middle seats unoccupied, but when I was boarding, your chief attendant said will check it for me after we took off and flew in the air.

If it's possible, could I change to another seat? This middle seat is uncomfortable for me. The person at the check-in counter told me there were only middle seats available, but when I was boarding, your chief attendant said he would check after we took off    .

1. This is gender-neutral. You may say 'the man/woman.'
2. If something you want or need is available, you can find it or obtain it.
3. Or 'she' if you talked to a woman.
4. 'Will' changes to 'would' in reported speech.
5. This is redundant as you said 'after we took off.'
Which type of seat would you like? I will look around for it or ask other people if they would like to change seats.

Thank you for your kindness. Could I check if the emergency seats available? I prefer to have more legroom to relax. Also, an aisle seat would be better.

1. Missing verb. You use 'be' to introduce more information about the subject, such as its identity, nature, qualities, or position.
Alright. I will look for a nice seat for you. It might take a bit of time. I kindly ask you to be a bit more patient.

Sure, please tell me if it's okay. I'm sorry about being selfish to cause you trouble. By the way, May I have something to drink, please?

自然な表現

Sure, please tell me if it's okay. I'm sorry if my selfishness causes you trouble. By the way, may I have something to drink, please?

1. Or 'my being selfish.'
2. Add -s or -es to verbs with a third-person singular noun or pronoun (he, she, it, John...) as a subject.
3. Never capitalized after a comma.
It is not a problem. We get such requests from time to time. What would you like to drink? Are you a frequent flyer, if I may ask?

It's my first time riding a plane, and I'm feeling a little sick. I can't straighten my legs and recline the seat. I even have two bodyguards sitting on each side. I feel so cramped. Oh, I hope they don't understand English.

It's my first time riding a plane, and I'm feeling a little airsick. I can't straighten my legs and recline the seat. I even have two bodyguards sitting on each side. I feel so cramped. Oh, I hope they don't understand English.

1. This means 'feeling sick because of the movement of a plane.'
Haha, I hope so too. I thought you might be a first-timer. Next time you book a flight, be sure to specify your seat preference.
Alright, it looks like there is an aisle seat up ahead. Do you have luggage in the overhead bin?

No, I checked all of my suitcases at the check-in counter. Did you say there's a vacant seat that I can move to? Oh, thank you so much. Please take me to leave here soon.

自然な表現

No, I checked all of my suitcases at the check-in counter. Did you say there's a vacant seat that I can move to? Oh, thank you so much. Please take me there.

1. You use 'there' to refer to a place that has already been mentioned.
