TOEIC Practice: Flight and Meeting Logistics

CONTEXT

Sales (Mark): "Hey, Sarah. I’ve just confirmed the meeting with the partners in Osaka for next Wednesday. Could you please handle the flight and local transport arrangements? I’d like to be there by Wednesday morning."

Assistant (Sarah): "Certainly, Mark. I've looked into the schedule. Since you have that internal sync on Wednesday morning, I've booked a flight departing Tuesday night, landing at Kansai International Airport at 11:30 PM. I figured you'd prefer to be well-rested for the 10:00 AM meeting the next day."

Sales (Mark): "That works perfectly. What about getting to the client's office? Their headquarters is in the central business district, right?"

Assistant (Sarah): "Actually, they moved to a new site in the northern industrial park last month. I've already set up a pre-paid taxi service to pick you up at your hotel at 8:45 AM. The ride should take about 45 minutes, so you’ll have a bit of a buffer before your meeting."

Sales (Mark): "Great, thanks for catching that address change. I'll make sure to have my presentation files ready on the cloud."
