luggage / case / bag — all related to carrying your things when you travel — luggage is an uncountable general word, while a case (suitcase) and a bag are specific items of luggage
book (verb) — to arrange a seat, room or ticket in advance — not the same as a book you read!
coach — in travel, a coach is a long-distance bus — a different meaning from a sports “coach” (trainer)
journey — the act of travelling from one place to another — used for the trip itself, not the arrival
pack (verb) — to put your things into a bag or suitcase before you travel
Useful Language
Places: airport · bus stop · car park
People: passenger · tourist · tour guide
Vocabulary Tip
Group travel words by type to help you remember them — places (airport, car park, bus stop), people (passenger, tourist), documents (passport), and things you carry (luggage, case, bag). Remember coach has two very different meanings depending on the topic — a long-distance bus here, but a sports trainer in other contexts.

✅ Explain the difference between luggage, a case and a bag?
✅ Use book as a verb in a travel sentence?
✅ Name 3 people you might meet at an airport?
✅ Use pack in a sentence about getting ready for a trip?
