Here are a few strategies that may help you: 1. Answer briefly and clearly: When communicating with ground staff, try to provide brief and clear information, and avoid leaving room for the other party to continue to extend the topic. If the other party asks, you can simply repeat the key points to indicate that the information has been fully provided. 2. Explain that time is tight in advance: At the beginning of the conversation, you can politely mention that you are in a hurry, such as "Sorry, I'm a little anxious now, can we talk in detail later?" This not only expresses respect, but also conveys the message that you are not convenient to chat for a long time. 3. Use non-verbal signals: Staying focused on your itinerary, such as looking at your phone, checking your boarding pass, etc., can also convey to a certain extent that you are busy dealing with things and cannot talk for a long time. However, it is important to keep these behaviors in moderation to avoid being impolite. 4. End the conversation politely: If the conversation starts to become lengthy, you can find a suitable excuse to end it, such as: "Thank you very much for your help, I have to go to the next step of the formalities first." This will not offend the other party, but also allow you to withdraw in time. 5. Prepare questions and answers in advance: If you expect to be asked about some details at a certain stage, you can prepare simple answers in advance so that you can answer quickly and accurately when faced with questions and reduce unnecessary follow-up questions. In short, being polite and patient will make communication smoother. Even if you want to shorten the conversation, it is recommended to be respectful and honest. After all, most airport ground staff are busy with work, and they usually want to complete their duties efficiently. When you politely refuse lengthy conversations, you can also save time for both parties.
