The harvest of the first transnational double flight

20 18 12, my husband and I went to Washington, USA to attend our daughter's graduate graduation ceremony, which gave the three of us a chance to reunite abroad. At the same time, I was lucky enough to experience an accident that was both thrilling and turned the corner, and I felt an unforgettable double flight, which lasted two hours of short flight and 13 hours of long-distance transnational flight.

At the beginning of September, my daughter booked a plane ticket to Washington, USA for us online. In order to reduce the trouble of our language barrier and the hardships of the journey, she specially booked the plane of China International Airlines. First fly from Shanghai Pudong to Beijing, rest at Hanting Hotel in Beijing for one night, and then fly from Beijing to Washington.

65438+February 10 We left the port area at 7: 00 a.m. and then took the bus from Zhangjiagang to Pudong Airport, so we arrived at the airport three times in advance. The international airport in Pudong, Shanghai is big and beautiful. We took our passports to the check-in counter of ABC, queued for boarding passes and checked our luggage.

In the process of boarding pass, the staff took our passports and scanned the computer. When they found the problem, they asked, "Do you have an online e-visa?"

I said, "We went to the American Embassy in Shanghai in June+10, 5438 and passed the interview. Do we still need an electronic visa (EVUS)? "

The staff replied: "Because you don't have an e-visa, you can't buy a plane ticket now, so you can't go through customs, let alone fly."

Originally thought, through the efforts of my daughter and I for more than three months, everything was ready for this trip to the United States, but the journey broke out halfway. The good mood of going to the United States to reunite with my daughter instantly fell into the ice cave, which was cool.

What are we doing? I suddenly lost my mind. The gentleman next to me reminded me and immediately asked the staff what to do.

The value office manager said, "Find someone who knows English and help you apply for an e-visa online."

At this moment, three hours before the plane takes off, we know the seriousness of the problem. Because we didn't go to the American website to apply for an "online electronic visa", we won't be able to make it. All the hard work in advance will be wasted.

We asked the staff of the website to wake our daughter in America from her sleep and solve our problems. Fortunately, after our daughter's calm online operation, we successfully passed the e-visa and finally got two tickets to Beijing and the United States.

A capable daughter gave us a turn for the better. At the same time, this incident has given us a reminder and a lesson. In the future, if you encounter problems or policies you don't understand in your work and study, you must be ashamed to ask questions and ask people with professional knowledge to avoid similar problems.

It's almost 1 more hours. Let's go through customs and security, enter the boarding gate inside and wait for boarding. Thinking about overcoming all difficulties, I am very excited and excited to finally meet my beloved daughter.

When it's boarding time, we will queue up to check in and board the plane. After boarding the plane, the flight attendant will tell us which channel to take when looking at our tickets. When they walk, they will look at the seat number on the luggage rack and take their seats accordingly. The mobile phone is set to flight mode, and the carry-on luggage is put on the luggage rack with the help of a beautiful stewardess.

After waiting for a while, the plane began to taxi with a loud noise. After a few minutes of climbing, the plane rose. I have long heard that my ears are buzzing when I take off, but I am enjoying the scenery outside the window. There are really 10 thousand kinds of scenery outside the flight window during the day, and all kinds of white clouds are absolutely different from what you look up at on the ground. At this time, we are in a good mood and happy for our daughter's seat in advance.

After a while, the plane flew at high speed above the clouds, and the white clouds were beside me. I feel like the Monkey King is walking on clouds. I really want to reach out and pick a white cloud at my fingertips.

After the plane flew smoothly for an hour, the stewardess brought us dinner. Dinner on the plane is very scientific, including rice, bread, fruit and yogurt. My husband and I ordered a chicken rice and a beef rice. After dinner, the stewardess came to pour us water, drinks and coffee. I ordered boiled water as needed, and the stewardesses' warm smiles were so warm.

After flying for more than two hours, the plane landed safely at Beijing International Airport, allowing me to have a relaxing meal, go to the toilet and have a rest in the air at an altitude of nearly 10000 meters, with a speed of more than 900 kilometers per hour and the lowest temperature outside the plane of -60 degrees.

After getting off the plane, the shuttle van of Hanting Hotel took us to the hotel, which was booked in advance by my daughter online.

At 7 o'clock the next morning, we had breakfast in the hotel, continued to get on the delivery car and arrived at Terminal 3 of Beijing International Airport. After customs clearance and security check, we went to the boarding gate to wait. After a while, the staff came and we queued up to check in.

This plane is much bigger than yesterday's and its equipment is very advanced. There is an LCD TV in front of each seat. After boarding the plane, I kept in mind the strategy of taking a long-distance plane introduced by my dear daughter. Sitting in my seat, I took the initiative to fasten my seat belt, changed my mobile phone to flight mode, put on disposable slippers in the hotel and began to close my eyes and rest. After a while, I fell asleep and was awakened by the announcement of dinner.

I had a nice dinner, drank some water, got up and walked in the corridor, kicking my legs, shaking my arms and twisting my waist. Then I went back to my seat and looked at the flight information and picture books for a while, then I continued to close my eyes.

Unconsciously, four hours have passed, and it's time for dinner. The stewardess takes everyone to do aerobic exercise with the coach on TV, then provides the passengers with boiled water, coffee, juice and drinks, and then distributes nutritious sandwiches, pasta and Yangzhou fried rice. After a good midnight snack, I insisted on walking in the aisle to help digestion.

After a flight of 13 hours, the plane landed safely at Dulles International Airport in Washington, DC. We queued for customs clearance, and the customs officers examined it carefully. We heard a pleasant OK sound. In this way, we arrived safely and smoothly in the United States with different colors, languages and Christmas atmosphere.

We found our flight number baggage carousel and waited for a while for our three luggage to come out. The luggage went directly from Shanghai to the United States, and the transfer in Beijing was unnecessary. The relaxed and pleasant long-distance flight ended successfully.

We met our daughter at the airport exit 1 and our daughter who missed her day and night in a foreign country. The excitement, happiness and happiness of the three of us are unparalleled. We express our joy and excitement by hugging.

After this short-distance and long-distance double flight, I found it very convenient to fly in the sky or run on the ground. I can't help but sigh that it's good to have a caring and capable daughter, who arranged a perfect double flight and "American reunion" for us, and at the same time I really feel that living in a new era with advanced technology is really happy. The man who invented the passenger plane is really great, which provides us with the convenience of measuring the world with his footsteps and provides us with more opportunities to learn and grow.
