travel phrasal verbs, essential travel phrasal verbs. Covering some of the more

basic and some of the more advanced. Now as you can see I am in fact on holiday

in... if you haven't guessed it already, Rome! So this seems to be the most

appropriate place to go through those travel phrasal verbs with you.

So, starting with some of the more basic now. I'm sure many of you already know the phrasal verb to

take off. When we are referring to an aeroplane leaving .So, the plane took off.

What time does the plane take off? That's a nice simple one.

Now it's less common.

We usually say land but you can say touch down. This is perhaps more

frequently used in America. I would say that the Brits don't really use this

phrasal verb too much. But when you say the plane has a touched down, you would say

it's landed. But again not so common. Right one of the most common phrasal

verbs to get away. This is both a phrasal verb and it can be used as a noun, I need

a get away. So, to get away literally means to escape your normal life, working days

and have a holiday. You might even say I really need to get away. Meaning I really

need a holiday.

Now, a more advanced phrasal verb would be to set off. You

could also say set out. So, if you set off you literally start your journey, you

begin at your travels. So, you might say to somebody what time are you setting

off? What time are you leaving for your trip? Now another phrasal verb with off

is to see off and this I'm sure has happened to you if you've been travelling.

Usually your parents will see you off this literally means that they take you

to the airport, the train station, the bus station and they wave goodbye and see

you on your way. So, to see somebody off. Usually a very nice thing to do.

On the opposite side, you would have pick up. So, pick up means to collect to take

somebody from one place to another and in this case you might have your parents

picking you up from the airport. Meeting at you there to collect you and

take you home. So, to pick up. Now in a similar way we can also have drop off. So,

you can drop off at your bags at the check-in, at the airport, but you can also

drop somebody off at the airport. So, pick up and drop off. Now drop off just

implies that you're left there when you see somebody off you're waving goodbye

and making sure that they are okay and they've got their plane okay. So, to drop

somebody off, to pick somebody up and to see someone off.

Now check, check in and check out, very important two phrasal verbs for you

pretty basic but you need to know them. To check in both at a hotel and of

course an airport. Is to register, to give your details to confirm that you

are taking that flight or indeed that you are registering to stay in the hotel

for that night. So, to check in. To check out, not something you do at an airport

but it is of course at a hotel. When you check out of a hotel you would pay any

extras that you've had from the minibar and confirm that you have left.

Usually checkout times quite early as well about 11:00, so when you see that,

what the checkout time is, you know that that's the time you need to leave the

hotel. So, check in check out.

When we talk generally about arriving..what time

did you get there? We would say turn up. So, what time did he turn up. Now when it

comes to traveling we usually refer to the transportation that we are taking

and in this case we'd be using get in. What time does your train get in? Meaning...

What time does your train arrive? You wouldn't say.. ''what time does your train

turn up. You can also use it for flights, What time does your flight get in?

What time does your flight arrive?

Now, unfortunately travel doesn't always

go to plan and there are often many delays. In this case we also have a

phrasal verb you can be held up. So, my train was held up at another station. My

flight was delayed. I was held up because my flight was delayed. So, to hold up to

be held up (in the passive form) means that you have been delayed.

Now, referring to transportation, when we travel we often use public transportation and this

is an important point to note. The prepositions in and on, off and out are

used when we are referring to public and private transportation. So, when you are

getting public transportation, you get on a plane, you get on the train, you get on

a bus, you get on a coach. These are public transportation. However, when you

are using private, you get in a car, you get in a taxi. A taxi is a form of

private transportation but you would get out of a taxi and you would get off a

plane. So, in get in private transportation. Get off public transportation.

Right, now we don't always have the luxury of going directly to our

destination, nor do we always want it. Sometimes we do actually want to have a

detour. Stop over. So, to stop over to have a stop over noun or phrasal verb is

to basically have a detour to stop (pause/break) somewhere. So, you might stop over if you

have a particularly long flight. So, for example if you're traveling from England

to Australia, you often have a stopover in somewhere like Asia, Singapore, Hong Kong.

Similarly, we can also call this a lay over. So, when the flights is stopped

at one Airport while you wait to refuel or indeed get another flight. So, you have

stop over and lay over. Right, that's it. I hope those phrasal verbs will prove
