Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries "porfa" is widely understood and conveys a friendly, informal tone. However, when speaking with airline staff or in a formal setting, it's safer to use the full "por favor". Also, the word "mostrador" can refer to any service desk, so specifying "de la aerolínea" avoids confusion with other airport counters (e.g., security or customs).
