If you get this remotely close to correct, you won't need to show the driver any of your print outs.
I am normally suspicious of people who make this sort of suggestion, as I am used to pranksters who tell me how to say "Kick me very hard" while claiming that I would be saying "Where is the nearest toilet?" FlyerTalkers, though, are more credible than most of my friends.

However, how can I practice saying this? I don't know how, and I don't see a link to an audio recording. My translation software says the first part means "Jiali core" and the second part means "hotel," so I believe they would be useful words to say, but how do they sound?

(At the BOS Admiral's Club awaiting our flight to ORD. We're first and second on the upgrade list, but nothing confirmed yet ...)
