B1 Travel & Tourism Vocabulary: Booking, Airports and Delays
This B1 Travel & Tourism Vocabulary module covers 50 words for planning a trip and for handling it when the plan falls apart — reservation, itinerary, boarding pass and customs on one side; delay, layover, cancel and jet lag on the other. Eight words come back from the A2 town module, so the deck opens on familiar ground. Every word comes with flashcards, a word-formation drill, a collocations match and a twelve-question quiz, free and self-scoring.

What’s inside this module
Five stages: revisit what you know, meet the new words, build other forms from them, pair them with the words they normally go with, then test yourself.
Words you already know
A warm-up deck of eight words you first met at A2 — ticket, schedule, passenger, airport, station, miss, traffic, arrive. Each card shows what you knew before, what changes at this level, and an example using the B1 sense.
Flashcards
Fifty cards, each with the word, its part of speech, a B1 definition, an example sentence, and up to three typical collocations on the back — a packed itinerary, go through customs, cancel a booking. Rate each card “I knew it” or “Still learning” and your ratings are saved automatically.
Word formation
Eight gap sentences that ask for a different form of a word you have just met: depart becomes departure, cancel becomes cancellation, explore becomes explorer, accommodation becomes accommodate. Touristy is the one to look at twice — it is an adjective, and it is mildly negative.
Collocations & phrases
Ten pairs taken from a real trip: a popular tourist destination, check in your luggage, a four-hour layover, go through customs, take out travel insurance, suffer from jet lag.
12-question quiz
A mix of multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank, with an explanation after every answer, right or wrong. Your best score is saved automatically.
How to get the most from it
Five habits that make B1 vocabulary stick, not just pass a quiz.
Journey, trip and travel are three words
A journey is the movement from one place to another, a trip is the whole visit including the reason for it, and travel is the general idea, almost never countable. “I had a good travel” is exactly the mistake this part of the deck exists to stop.
Learn the airport words in order
Reservation, boarding pass, luggage, customs, layover, land. Running them in the order they happen at a real airport is much easier than learning them as a list, and it is the order you will need them in if you are asked to describe a trip.
The problem words carry the level
Delay, cancel, miss a connection, layover and jet lag are what a B1 speaker can talk about and an A2 speaker cannot. A story about a trip that went wrong will use far more of this deck than a story about a trip that went well.
Come back for the re-deal
After you finish the flashcard deck, it automatically rebuilds itself from just the words marked “still learning.” A short second pass on the hard ones is worth more than repeating the whole deck.
Use one this week
Tell the story of one real journey in four sentences, using at least two words from the problem half of the deck — delay, cancel, layover, miss. Real trips, even dull ones, fix vocabulary better than invented ones.
Where these words come from
The eight warm-up words are from the A2 town module. B2 Geography takes the describing half further, into coastline, terrain, remote and temperate.
