Cultural Tip

In French‑speaking airlines, the phrase "en plus" is common when describing extra fees (e.g., for baggage, seat selection, or meals). The amount is usually quoted in the local currency, but many international carriers still list the price in dollars, so learners should be comfortable hearing both "dollars" and "euros" in the same context.
