What is "letterhead"?
Vladimir requests "letterhead" from Jean.
What is "letterhead"?
What is "letterhead"?
"Letterhead" is unrelated to any sort of bank statement, although some countries do require proof that a traveler has the financial means to exit a country once they have entered it.
A "letterhead" is a company's name or logo printed at the top of official writing paper. The term is also used to describe a blank sheet of paper with such a heading printed on it; this is what Vladimir asks for in his letter - possibly so that he can falsely represent the company! Another example: I scared my noisy neighbour by writing to him on letterhead stolen from my lawyer. "Stationery" refers to writing materials in general: pens, paper, notebooks etc.
An "itinerary" is the list of destinations and travel details for a voyage. Example: Our vacation itinerary included Greece, Rome, and the Pyramids of Egypt. An "itinerary" is not the same thing as "letterhead".
"Letterhead" is unrelated to the content of a letter; it simply refers to its printed heading.

1 delay: This is the correct answer. A "delay" occurs when something is late or has been postponed for a while. In the itinerary, it states that, "In the event of a delay of more than 3 hours, refreshments will be available". This means that if the flight is postponed or late in leaving, food and drink will be provided.
2 baggage: The word baggage refers to the belongings that one takes with them when travelling from one place to another. The itinerary states that "Excess baggage will incur a charge". This means that if you bring more baggage or luggage than you are allowed to, you will have to pay more money. The terms "baggage" and "luggage" are interchangeable.
3 flight: The word flight refers to a journey through the air or by aeroplane. Example: Flight number BA961 is now boarding at gate 12. In the text, the itinerary states that "In the event of flight cancellations, compensation will be awarded". This means that if the plane doesn't leave at all, the passengers will be refunded for the price of the ticket.
4 accommodation: The word "accommodation" refers to lodgings or somewhere to sleep. Example: I need to find accommodation for the night but there doesn't seem to be a hotel in the area.
5 layover: A "layover" is a break or scheduled stop over the course journey, usually to connect with another flight or train, or perhaps to re-fuel the plane.
