Are you wanting to know what the person you are calling "An" would be typically saying in colloquial English? It really could be anything. If it were my son, here's how it would go.
1. Hi, I have a question. I need to make a reservation for a plane ticket from Tokyo to DesMoines, IA. I want to leave this Friday the 23rd. Can you tell me when the flights leave and how much round trip airfare will cost?
(you answer with various flight information and various prices).
2. I'm confused. Say I pick the flight that leaves at 11 am Friday. What time do I get in to DesMoines?
(you answer)
3. OK, and how much does that cost round trip?
(you answer)
4. Ok, thanks for the info. Now I have to ask my parents for some money! I'll get back to you. Bye!
