How to study this deck

These phrasal verbs are used in airports, hotels and on the road: check in, take off, get on, pull over. Study them by trip stage. With transport the key is telling get on/get off (bus, train, plane) apart from get in/get out (car, taxi). It is a detail many learners miss.

The trickiest words

get on / get in: get on is for large transport (bus, train, plane); get in is for cars and taxis. The opposites are get off and get out.
take off: with a plane it means to depart; with clothes it means to remove. Context decides.
run into: it means to meet someone by chance. With an object, "run into a tree" means to hit it.

Examples in context

We checked in at the hotel around noon.
He got out of the car quickly.
Let's fill up before the highway.
The plane touched down safely.
He pulled out of the driveway.
Do you want to come along?
She checked off everything on her packing list.
We stopped over in Miami for two hours.

Mini dialogue

A: What time do we check in at the hotel?
B: At three. Our plane takes off at nine.
A: Let's get on the bus and head out.
B: OK. If the car breaks down, we will pull over.
