Air travel vocabulary matching activity with images and corresponding terms for learning.

Let’s go step by step to match each picture (a–p) with the correct air travel term.

We’ll look at what’s happening in each image and pick the best matching word from the list.

---

Picture a: A person standing in front of screens showing flight info → This is where you check your flight details before going through security or boarding. That’s passport control? Wait — no, passport control usually has officers checking passports. Actually, this looks like departures/arrivals board, but that’s not an option. Let’s hold on. Maybe it’s check-in desk? No, check-in desk usually has counters and agents. Hmm. Actually, looking again — it might be passport control if those are immigration booths. But let’s compare others first.

Wait — better approach: Go one by one and eliminate.

---

Picture b: People sitting in a nice lounge area with big windows overlooking planes → That’s clearly departure lounge.

✔ b = departure lounge

---

Picture c: A paper ticket with barcode and flight info → That’s a boarding card.

✔ c = boarding card

---

Picture d: Man in uniform behind counter, holding red stamp/passport → He’s checking documents → passport control

✔ d = passport control

---

Picture e: Crowded airport hall with people waiting, some sitting on floor → This is likely security check line? Or maybe customs? Wait — customs is after landing. Security check is before boarding. This looks like pre-boarding wait area — could be security check queue.

But let’s see picture n — that shows metal detectors and trays — that’s definitely security check.

So e might be... actually, e looks like general waiting area — perhaps departures arrivals? Not quite. Wait — maybe baggage reclaim? No, that’s after landing.

Hold on — let’s skip and come back.

---

Picture f: Plane lifting off ground → That’s to take off

✔ f = to take off

---

Picture g: Plane flying low over runway, wheels down, about to touch ground → That’s to land

✔ g = to land

---

Picture h: Woman putting bag into overhead compartment → That’s overhead locker

✔ h = overhead locker

---

Picture i: Suitcase with size labels “hand luggage size” → Clearly hand luggage

✔ i = hand luggage

---

Picture j: Runway with number 28 → That’s runway

✔ j = runway

---

Picture k: Seat belt buckle → seat belt

✔ k = seat belt

---

Picture l: Two women in pink uniforms walking in plane aisle → They’re flight attendants → cabin crew

✔ l = cabin crew

---

Picture m: Person standing near carousel with bags coming out → That’s baggage reclaim

✔ m = baggage reclaim

---

Picture n: People going through metal detectors, putting items in bins → That’s security check

✔ n = security check

---

Picture o: People lined up with luggage carts, talking to staff → Looks like check-in desk

✔ o = check-in desk

---

Picture p: People walking up stairs onto plane → That’s boarding the plane

✔ p = boarding the plane

---

Now back to picture a: Person facing two screens — likely displaying flight status. In airports, these are called “departures/arrivals boards”. The closest match from our list is departures arrivals — yes, that’s an option!

✔ a = departures arrivals

---

Now picture e: Crowd waiting in terminal — many seated, some standing. Since we’ve used most terms, what’s left?

Used so far:

- a: departures arrivals
- b: departure lounge
- c: boarding card
- d: passport control
- f: to take off
- g: to land
- h: overhead locker
- i: hand luggage
- j: runway
- k: seat belt
- l: cabin crew
- m: baggage reclaim
- n: security check
- o: check-in desk
- p: boarding the plane

Left: customs

What’s customs? It’s when you declare goods after arriving in another country. Picture e doesn’t show that — it just shows waiting passengers.

Wait — did we miss something?

List of terms again:

check-in desk ✔ (o)
hand luggage ✔ (i)
seat belt ✔ (k)
to land ✔ (g)
baggage reclaim ✔ (m)
security check ✔ (n)
boarding card ✔ (c)
runway ✔ (j)
passport control ✔ (d)
overhead locker ✔ (h)
cabin crew ✔ (l)
departure lounge ✔ (b)
to take off ✔ (f)
customs ❓
departures arrivals ✔ (a)
boarding the plane ✔ (p)

Only customs left.

Which picture hasn’t been matched? We have 16 pictures: a to p.

We assigned:

a, b, c, d, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p → that’s 15.

Missing: e

So e must be customs.

But does picture e look like customs? Customs usually has signs saying “Goods to Declare”, and sometimes dogs or inspectors. Picture e just shows a crowded waiting area.

Hmm… maybe I made a mistake.

Alternative idea: Maybe e is security check? But we already gave that to n, which clearly shows metal detectors.

Wait — perhaps e is departures arrivals? But we gave that to a.

Let me double-check picture a: It shows a man looking at two monitors — typical for checking flight times → that’s departures/arrivals board → correct.

Picture e: Large crowd, some sitting on benches, some standing — this is very common in international terminals *after* clearing customs or *before* security? Actually, in many airports, after you clear customs upon arrival, you enter a large hall — that could be considered part of “arrivals”.

But “departures arrivals” is already taken.

Wait — the term is “departures arrivals” as one phrase? Yes, in the list it’s written as “departures arrivals” — meaning the board or area showing both.

Perhaps picture e is meant to represent the general public area — but none of the remaining terms fit except customs.

Maybe the creator intended e to be customs, even if it doesn’t perfectly match visually.

Alternatively — did we misassign any?

Let’s try swapping:

Suppose e is security check — but then what is n? N clearly shows security screening equipment.

No, n is definitely security check.

Another thought: Picture o — people with luggage carts talking to staff — that’s check-in desk — correct.

Picture p — boarding via stairs — correct.

Is there a chance that a is customs? No, customs isn’t about looking at screens.

Actually, in some countries, after landing, you go through customs, then you see the arrivals board — but still, picture a is more about information display.

I think the only logical assignment is:

→ e = customs

Even though it’s not perfect, it’s the only term left.

Perhaps in context, “customs” refers to the area where you wait after clearing customs — which can be crowded.

Okay, we’ll go with that.

Final matches:

a - departures arrivals
b - departure lounge
c - boarding card
d - passport control
e - customs
f - to take off
g - to land
h - overhead locker
i - hand luggage
j - runway
k - seat belt
l - cabin crew
m - baggage reclaim
n - security check
o - check-in desk
p - boarding the plane

All 16 matched.
