What are the points for attention in American tourism?

There are great differences between Chinese and American cultures. Of course, there are many places to pay attention to when going abroad to play. In order to avoid unnecessary troubles during the trip, the following are the notes for traveling to the United States compiled by Bian Xiao, hoping to help everyone!

First of all, the American travel guide

1. Entry Notes:

According to the immigration law of the United States, all people who enter the country from land ports, airport ports or seaports in the United States are subject to inspection. If you fly to the United States, the flight attendant will give you an I-94 form, that is, an Arrival/DepartureRecord, which records the personal information of immigrants and their addresses in the United States.

There are four main inspections at the ports of entry in the United States: (Important! ! ! )

(1) public health;

(2) Immigration status;

(3) Customs inspection;

(4) Agricultural inspection.

It should be noted that holding a valid American visa does not guarantee entry, and ultimately it is up to the immigration officials at American ports to decide whether to allow you to enter the country. The I-94 form approved by the port immigration officer is the proof of legal entry into the United States and needs to be properly kept. If it is lost or damaged, you should report it to the nearby immigrants in time and apply for a replacement. Form I-94 should be returned to the port immigration officer when leaving the United States.

Passports must be valid for more than six months beyond the scheduled stay in the United States.

2, safety regulations

In order to improve the safety of passengers, the United States has restrictions on liquids, sprays and hairspray carried by inbound and outbound flights. These regulations are necessary to protect you from the threat of liquid explosion.

The size of liquid, spray or hair spray container in hand luggage must be equal to or less than 100 ml. All containers must be sealed in a transparent plastic bag with a capacity of one liter, and each person is limited to one plastic bag. Passengers are allowed to use self-sealing bags with a capacity of 1 liter or less.

When you arrive at the security checkpoint, you must hand over any liquids, sprays and hairspray you still carry with you, including duty-free goods. The new regulations will also increase random body searches during security inspection.

Please prepare a plastic bag before check-in so that you have time to put the oversized container in the check-in baggage.

Step 3 follow the steps

Before check-in: pack up the liquid, spray and hair gel you are going to take with you. If possible, please make preparations before going to the airport. The liquid, spray and hair gel to be packed in hand luggage must be packed in containers with a capacity of 100 ml or less (the weight is about 100 g).

Second, please pay attention to the carrying requirements:

1, containers exceeding 100 ml should be packed in checked baggage or taken away.

2. Half-full containers with capacity exceeding 100 ml cannot be carried.

Please put the container in hand luggage into a transparent self-sealing plastic bag.

4. The capacity of plastic bags shall not exceed 1L, which is about 20X20 or 15X25. Most supermarkets sell this kind of plastic bags.

5. Plastic bags should be easy to seal after being filled with articles. If it is not well sealed, you should take some things with you, and each person is limited to one plastic bag.

Please put the plastic bag where it is easy to get in your hand luggage. Plastic bags should be shown to security personnel for inspection. At the security checkpoint, you have to show the plastic bag to the security personnel separately for inspection. Security personnel may ask for proof that you need to take medicine on board, such as comparing the name on the prescription with your boarding pass. )

7. Please take off your coat.

8. You may be searched.

These regulations also apply to passengers who transfer at American international airports.

Third, what should we pay attention to in American tourism?

Hotel accommodation

1. Pay attention to the check-in time.

The check-in time of the hotel is usually 14: 00 pm, and the check-out time is before noon 12: 00 pm, and there is an extra charge for overtime.

2, basic supplies to carry.

Hotels generally do not provide toothpaste, toothbrushes, combs, slippers, razors and other personal items. Please bring your own things. If you really forget it, you can check with the hotel front desk, and some hotel front desks can provide it for free.

3. How to drink American water?

The tap water of the hotel cold water faucet can be directly drunk, but the hot water of the faucet can't be directly drunk.

4. Read it clearly before using WiFi.

The hotel offers free and pay TV. Some hotels also provide TV Internet service. Please refer to the fee description before making a decision before watching CCTV or using TV Internet.

5. The telephone charges need to be clear.

There is a charge for calling outside the hotel room, which is more expensive. It is recommended to buy calling cards locally.

6. Prepare to charge first

The United States uses 1 10V 60Hz alternating current, and the three-eye socket is different from that in China, so a conversion socket is needed. It is recommended to be prepared before going out.

Protecting public property is everyone's responsibility.

Please pay attention to protect the hotel's equipment and facilities. Generally, hotels compensate more for the damage of equipment and facilities.

8. You should see clearly whether you can smoke.

Smoking is not allowed in most hotel rooms, and some hotels have completely banned smoking. If you need to smoke, you should ask the smoking room before you check in, or ask where you can smoke. All the losses caused by smoking in the non-smoking room will be borne by the smoker.

9. Be aware of the hotel stars.

The star standard of American hotels is higher than that of China.

10, protect the property with you.

Please pay attention to personal finance. You can make full use of the safe in your room, and don't put your personal money under the pillow or in the pillow when you leave the room, except for the daily tip for the room cleaner. The cleaning union thought you paid the tip and took it. Tips for American travel
