Excellent answer (transcript): around CLB 11–12
This airport terminal is filled with passengers moving between gates, checking in, and sitting in the waiting area. A family is seated, likely waiting for their flight, while a business traveler types away on a laptop. The flight attendants are standing near the gate, and the display board shows flight details. I predict that the family will stay in the waiting area, likely entertaining their children as they wait. The business traveler will continue working on their laptop until it’s time to board, and the airport staff will assist passengers as they proceed through security and boarding. Given the steady flow of passengers, I think the terminal will stay busy with more travelers arriving for their flights.

This is a bustling airport terminal, with passengers walking around with luggage and some sitting in the waiting area. A family is sitting together, waiting for their flight, while a business traveler is focused on their laptop. There are flight attendants near the gate, and the display board shows flight information. I imagine that the family will continue waiting for their flight, and the business traveler will keep working on their laptop until it’s time to board. More passengers will probably arrive and check in, and the flight attendants will assist them as they prepare to board the plane.
