David: Vendor B offers a volume discount, but their delivery timeline is longer than expected. Emma: That could be a problem. We need deployment before the end of December.

They must decide on destinations, compare flights, review schedules, and confirm the itinerary. English Dialogue Sarah: Hey Mark, have you finalized the destination for our business trip next month? Mark: Not yet. The client wants us to visit either Chicago or Dallas. Which one do you think we should prioritize? Sarah: Probably Chicago. Their team requested an in-person meeting. Have you checked the flight options? Mark: Yes, I checked this morning. The fares went up again. We should probably book soon before the seats sell out. Sarah: Agreed. Do you want to review the flight schedules together? Mark: Sure. I also want to compare airlines — some include Wi-Fi and extra baggage, which might be useful for the presentation equipment. Sarah: Good thinking. What about traveling from the 8th to the 11th? That seems like the smoothest itinerary. Mark: Works for me. Do you prefer a morning departure or something later? Sarah: Morning is fine. I’d like to arrive early and prepare before meeting the client. Mark: Same here. Let’s check availability. If the seats are still open, we should book today. Sarah: Great. I’ll pull up the booking site now. Hopefully the prices haven’t increased again. Mark: Yeah, business travel in January is always busy. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
