Yo creo que "moving walkway" es una banda transportadora... las "aceras" están a los lados de la calle (never indoors).

we never say "banda transportadora". We use CINTA transportadora

Isn't a parking garage "aparcamiento" or simply the foreign borrowed word "el parking"?

[ROBINDESBOIS]

In Spain we say embarque for boarding, abordaje is something different.
Boarding gate = puerta de embarque
Lost and found = objetos perdidos

Hello, Anoosh,
1. Maleta and valija are close synonyms. "Valija" is less used in Spain, but it is used in Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Paraguay, Salvador, Uruguay, with the sense of "maleta" (suitcase). In Spain can also be used as "suitcase" but less frequently than "maleta". ('Valija' can also mean the leather bag used by the postman.)
2. As far as I know these 3 terms are good synonyms, used in different Spanish speaking countries. In Spain "billete" is probably the most commonly used, but the other ones can be understood too.
* la manga = "the sleeve" (literally). This could refer to the indicator for the wind, ie., "windstock", but I am not sure. (In what context did you hear it? I figure it could also be used for some kind of movable 'tunnel or passage' between the airplane and the gate?)
*atender = attend to, see to/ serve / look after. This is a verb. Atender a un pasajero. (Look after a passenger.)
I hope this clarifies. (Let me know on the point of context for "la manga")

[Anoosh]

I had a Spanish class which was about (the airport), my teacher is Argentinian and she doesn't speak much English.When she explained (la manga) I only understood that it's something inside the airport and I guess the second definition is what I was looking for.
Thanks a lot.

Windsock, not windstock. But the Oxford dictionary gives (Aviac) "telescopic walkway" as a possible translation, and "windsock" as a translation of "manga de viento", so 2/2.
