Can I buy something on board?
com-PRA-re — stress on second syllable. 'Bordo' is BOR-do.
When you want to purchase food, drinks, or duty-free items during the flight.
'A bordo' (on board) is used for ships, aircraft, and trains. 'Posso comprare' (can I buy) is the standard purchase inquiry. On budget flights, everything from snacks to souvenirs is sold. Long-haul flights often have a duty-free trolley service.
