This is a seat number on the protagonist's flight from Chicago to San Francisco.
30 (thirty)
This is the "gate number" from which the protagonist's flight to San Francisco "departs."
air (noun)
One's plane is either "on the ground" or "in the air" ("airborne"). One often refers to "ground transportation" (bus, car, taxi, etc.) or "air transportation" (plane, jet, airplane, etc.). One can travel "by air." The expression "to be up in the air" refers to one's indecision ("I'm up in the air about what to do.").
assignments (noun, pl.)
brought, I (to bring, past)
coach (noun as adj.)
The "coach" section of a plane is often considered the most "economical" for the traveler (as opposed to "business class" or "first class").
coffee (noun)
"Coffee" is usually served "black," with "cream" (or "milk") and/or "sugar." You can buy coffee in a store already "ground," or "whole bean" and grind it yourself.
completed (past part., to complete)
cream (noun)
Even though one might ask for "cream" for coffee, it is not uncommon to get "milk," a "creamer" (a small, individually-sized plastic container of milk), or even a packet of "powdered cream." "Half and half" (half cream, half milk) is about the closest you'll get to real cream, unless you go to a specialty coffee shop or restaurant.
fascinating (adj.)
gate (noun)
If you want to get to your plane, you must first go to the airline's "front counter" where your ticket and reservation are verified (where you can also "check your bags"). If you already have a "seat assignment" you can look up the "departure gate number" on a "monitor" and go directly to the gate. After passing through "security," you can "check in" for your flight and get a seat number (if you haven't done so at the front counter). You'll wait in a "waiting room" or "area" before boarding. When your assigned section is called, you'll turn in your "ticket stub," walk down a "ramp," and enter the aircraft.
magazine (noun)
Monterey Peninsula (prop. noun)
An area close to San Francisco, California where the city of Monterey is located.
O'Hare International Airport (prop. noun)
One of Chicago's two major airports (the other being the smaller "Midway Airport"). O'Hare International, like Hartsfield International in Atlanta, is considered one of the world's busiest airports.
passing (pres. part., to pass)
pieces (noun, pl.)
San Francisco (prop. noun)
section (noun)
security (noun)
sugar (noun)
