Could someone tell me what's the exact sentence they say whan they announce a flight?


I'm french and I need to know what they exactly say in the airport when they announce a flight.
Can someone help me please?

Thanks in advance.

To TV: thank you, thank you, thank you! You just made my day. I'm looking for that since a week and didn't find it anywhere.

Kind attention please, This is the boarding announcement of Flight XXX to Pris, is now ready for Boarding, All checked in passengers are requested to pass through Security Check and Board the Aircraft immediately. Thanks You.

Kind attention please , This is to announce the flight XXXX from Paris has arrived on gate XX. Thanks you.

Like this they announce for Security check, Immigration check, Delay in arrival/ departure, etc, etc..*

Pity it is completely wrong! It is very poor expression - I hope you don't miss you flights by believing this. English speaking is not done this way. Good luck Report It

I see elsewhere that you have lived in Ontario for 15 years, and that French is your native tongue. Visit an airport in Ontario (Toronto) if you can, and listen to the announcements. I've been to Toronto airport Report It

Sorry; but I must have passed through different airports. Even in Quebec, the English announcement is better expressed than above, and both the French and English versions sound like they were spoken by native speakers - though in Quebec, they tend to be properly bi-lingual.

And whilst French expression and vocabulary are very different to English ones, my understanding of French says the announcements are colloquial to the tongue being used.

I tend to hear English announcements where I have been in the world as:
"Airline Name" is pleased to announce that the "HH:MM" flight XXXX to "place name via somewhere (if appropriate)" is now available for boarding from Gate "N"."

Later they say:
This is the final call for passengers on flight "XXXX" to "wherever". Passengers holding boarding passes for this flight please report to gate "N" immediately"

Finally, they say something like:

"This is an urgent announcement for Mister and Misses Surname travelling to "somewhere" on "Airline Name". Your flight is about to close. Please report to gate "N" immediately"
