Question Focus: Synonym match - 'combine your flight and holiday booking' matches 'book your flights as part of your vacation package'

Correct Answer: TRUE

Why this is correct: The passage clearly says that when you book flights as part of a vacation package, you can avoid Saturday-night stay requirements. That directly matches the statement.

Passage Reference: Save time and money when you book your flights as part of your vacation package. Simply call 877-734-4479. We can save you up to 30%, eliminate the advance purchase penalties, allow you to change your passenger names and flights for free up to 30 days before travel, and avoid Saturday-night stay requirements.

Common Mistake: Some students miss the phrase Saturday-night stay requirements and think it is about hotels only. This is a Paraphrase trap because the wording is different but the meaning is the same.

Paraphrasing: Passage: 'avoid Saturday-night stay requirements' = Statement: 'do not need to stay on a Saturday night'

Tips: Look for benefits listed in booking descriptions. IELTS often tests these details with paraphrasing.

Key Vocabulary:

  • avoid = do not need to
  • requirements = rules

Question Focus: Direct factual match about transport route

Correct Answer: TRUE

Passage Reference: Denver International Airport (DEN) Located just outside of Denver, the airport is 90 miles east of Keystone via Interstate 70. DIA is a nonstop destination for over 21 national and international carriers.

Why this is correct: The passage directly states that Keystone is reached from DEN via Interstate 70. There is no paraphrase or interpretation needed.

Common Mistake: Some students overthink and look for extra transport details. This is a Wrong section trap if they move away from the DEN description.

Paraphrasing: Passage: 'via Interstate 70' = Statement: 'take the Interstate 70'

Tips: When a statement uses the same words as the passage, check carefully. These are often straightforward TRUE answers.

Key Vocabulary:

  • via = by using
  • located = situated

Question Focus: Missing information about flight type and city

Correct Answer: NOT GIVEN

Passage Reference: Vail/Eagle County Airport (EGE) is 65 miles west of Keystone. Direct flights are available from: Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, Cincinnati, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York/LGA, Newark, Philadelphia.

Why this is correct: The passage only lists direct flights and does not mention Miami at all. The passage does not discuss whether indirect flights from Miami exist.

Common Mistake: Students often mark this FALSE because Miami is not listed. This is a Not Given trap because the passage does not say indirect flights do not exist.

Paraphrasing: Passage: 'Direct flights are available from' = Statement: 'Indirect flights are available'

Tips: If a city is not mentioned, do not assume it is impossible. Check if the passage actually denies it.

Key Vocabulary:

  • direct flights = flights with no stops
  • available = can be used

Question Focus: Distance comparison

Correct Answer: FALSE

Passage Reference: Located just outside of Denver, the airport is 90 miles east of Keystone via Interstate 70. Colorado Springs Municipal Airport is 109 miles from Keystone.

Why this is correct: DEN is 90 miles from Keystone, while Colorado Springs Municipal Airport is 109 miles away. That means Colorado Springs is farther, not closer.

Common Mistake: Some students see two distances and forget to compare them correctly. This is a Contradiction trap.

Paraphrasing: Passage: '90 miles' and '109 miles' = Statement: 'closer than'

Tips: When numbers are involved, stop and compare carefully. Do not rely on feeling or guessing.

Key Vocabulary:

  • closer = less distance
  • farther = more distance

Question Focus: Assumed pricing information

Correct Answer: NOT GIVEN

Passage Reference: Colorado Mountain Express (CME) Numerous, daily, door-to-door shuttles to and from Denver International Airport to Keystone. Colorado Mountain Express also offers private chauffeured travel with CME Premier. Our Mountain Concierge can book your CME reservation for you as part of your vacation package.

Why this is correct: The passage says CME Premier is a private chauffeured travel option, but it does not mention price or compare costs. The passage does not discuss whether it is the most expensive.

Common Mistake: Students assume private means more expensive. This is a Not Given trap because price is never stated.

Paraphrasing: Passage: 'private chauffeured travel' = Statement: 'most expensive service'

Tips: Do not add your own real world knowledge. IELTS only tests what is written.

Key Vocabulary:

  • chauffeured = driven by a driver
  • private = not shared

Question Focus: Time limitation detail

Correct Answer: TRUE

Passage Reference: Colorado Mountain Express provides shuttles service to and from the Resort throughout the day. Shuttle service is not available for flights arriving at the airport later than 8:30pm or departing earlier than 10:00am. Please consider booking a rental car if you are arriving or departing when the shuttle is not available.

Why this is correct: The shuttle does not operate for arrivals after 8:30pm or departures before 10:00am, so it clearly does not run 24 hours a day.

Common Mistake: Some students see 'throughout the day' and assume all day and night. This is a Partial truth trap.

Paraphrasing: Passage: 'not available for flights arriving later than 8:30pm' = Statement: 'not available 24 hours a day'

Tips: Always read the full sentence. Time limits are often added after general statements.

Key Vocabulary:

  • throughout = during
  • available = operating

Question Focus: Comparison between two services

Correct Answer: NOT GIVEN

Passage Reference: Scheduled Shuttle Service via CME Colorado Mountain Express provides shuttles service to and from the Resort throughout the day. Private Shuttle Service via CME Colorado Mountain Express provides shuttles service to and from the Resort throughout the day.

Why this is correct: Both services are described as running throughout the day, but the passage never says their timetables are the same. The passage does not discuss a comparison.

Common Mistake: Students assume same wording means same schedule. This is a Not Given trap because no direct comparison is made.

Paraphrasing: Passage: 'throughout the day' = Statement: 'same timetable'

Tips: For comparison statements, look for clear linking words like 'same as' or 'different from'.

Key Vocabulary:

  • timetable = schedule
  • scheduled = planned

General Tips:

  • TFNG statements follow passage order - use the previous answer's location to find the next one.
  • If you cannot decide between FALSE and NOT GIVEN, ask: does the passage clearly say the opposite? If not, choose NOT GIVEN.
  • Do not use your own travel knowledge. IELTS only tests the information on the page.
  • Be careful with lists. If something is not listed, it does not automatically mean it is impossible.
