What do you need to pay attention to when flying?

The general sequence is as follows: Sort by steps

(1) Take your ticket and ID card to the designated counter (usually you will see a large screen as soon as you enter the airport terminal, which displays Give the check-in counter number corresponding to each flight) to the check-in staff. She (he) will change your boarding pass and ask you if you have any luggage to check in. Remember that there should be at least three things you get back: ID card, Don't forget your air tickets and boarding passes.

(2) Buy insurance (20 yuan, not mandatory, depends on personal needs).

(3) Security check: You need to provide three things here: ID card, air ticket, and boarding pass.

(4) Go to the designated boarding gate and wait to board the plane, and pay attention to the broadcast announcement. The gate number is indicated on the boarding pass.

Notes:

(1) Be sure to complete the formalities half an hour before the plane takes off. Therefore, it is best to arrive at the airport in advance according to the situation, especially during Golden Week, Spring Festival, etc. A lot of the time. Some airports are very strict and will not allow you to go through it when the time is up, such as Beijing Airport.

(2) Friends who prefer a window seat can ask the check-in staff to arrange a window seat for you when changing your boarding pass. Generally, there is no problem unless you arrive very late and the seats are all arranged. Give it to someone else.

(3) When checking in luggage, some airports will charge an insurance fee of about 10 yuan, such as Fuzhou Airport; if your suitcase is not locked, some airports will force you to buy it for 5 yuan. Small locks, such as Guangzhou Airport.

(4) When carrying a fruit knife, it is best to put it in your checked luggage, otherwise it may be confiscated 90% of the time. In addition, small animals cannot be brought on board a plane, and a quarantine certificate is required to check them in, which is quite troublesome. Potted plants and flowers are acceptable.

(5) The checked voucher is usually affixed to the ticket. After arriving and taking out the luggage, a staff member will check whether the checked voucher and the label on the luggage correspond to each other. Be careful not to take someone else's by mistake and lose your own.

(6) Flight delays or cancellations

Generally, as long as the flight is delayed, the airport will provide free drinks or meals during meal time (it seems that those at night are more likely to be taken care of than those at noon) . If the evening flight tells you that it cannot fly that day, it depends on the situation. It is due to aircraft maintenance, flight deployment, etc. The airport will provide food and accommodation. Due to weather, emergencies, air traffic control and other reasons, you can only refund or change the ticket. In this case, the airport does not care about food and accommodation.

(7) Miscellaneous

(1) From the perspective of aircraft comfort, the Boeing 747 wide body is the best, large and stable. The smaller model feels better from Airbus.

(2) Aircraft seats are arranged horizontally according to A, B, C, D... Boeing seats are marked on the luggage rack, and Airbus seats are marked on the small light above the seat. If you can't find one, ask the flight attendant for help. For narrow-body aircraft, there are generally 6 seats in each row, and A and F are windows.

(3) The small table of some models is not on the back of the chair, but is hidden in the armrest next to the seat and can be opened and taken out.

(4) Snacks and drinks are provided on the plane. If it is meal time, main meals are also provided, two boxes, one Chinese and one foreign (rice + bread). If you are not full, you can ask for another portion. You can drink less water. Although there are toilets on the plane, you have to stop using them whenever you encounter turbulence. Besides, are you willing to queue when there are many people?

(5) Don’t forget to turn off your mobile phone before taking off (nonsense), haha, the flight attendant will tell you.

(6) When taking off or landing, if your ears feel uncomfortable, you can open your mouth; chewing gum is also effective, just don't choke.

(7) Generally speaking, I personally feel that regional airlines have better in-flight services (Hainan Airlines, Xiamen Airlines. Hainan Airlines is basically equipped with foreign flight attendants on every flight.

When you enter the cabin, you can give your seat card to the flight attendant and ask him to guide you to your seat. When you get to your seat, you can leave your coat or rain gear in the luggage compartment above the seat for safekeeping. If you need any help on the plane, you're welcome. The plane shakes violently before and after takeoff and landing, so you should fasten your seat belt and don't smoke as the plane rises. , the ears will be uncomfortable due to the high altitude pressure. Chewing gum or eating to keep the mouth moving can reduce the discomfort. If there is a baby traveling with you, you can feed milk at this time. Soon after takeoff, the captain will make an announcement. Give a welcome speech, and then the attendant will announce the scheduled arrival time and precautions, usually in two or three languages, including Mandarin and English of the airline.

The seats on the plane are very comfortable and there is a seat on the side. There is a round button. Press it hard when you want to lie on your back, and the backrest will automatically tilt back. However, when the plane takes off and lands, the backrest must be straightened and returned to its original position.

There is a small table behind the front seat for eating and writing. It can be pulled out for use and put away after use, which is very convenient. There are usually two or three large bags underneath, containing flight schedules, route maps, postcards, paper slippers, and plastic bags for vomiting. The shelves are equipped with pillows and blankets for passengers to use. If they are not enough, you can ask the flight attendant for them. There are air conditioning holes and light buttons inside the shelves or in the middle of the windows, which can be activated by yourself when needed.

Due to different aircraft models, the equipment will also be different. Generally, they provide similar functions. Anyway, if you have any questions, just ask.

Under safe conditions, passengers sitting at the emergency exit of an aircraft must be careful not to lift the armrests out of curiosity, otherwise the plane will make an emergency landing or crash.

Passengers are not allowed to make jokes such as "This is a bomb", otherwise they will be detained and bear the huge costs incurred.

After we sat down, the program on the plane began.

1. Reading and writing letters: Jetliners fly at high altitudes and have a relatively stable fuselage. Except for sunrise, sunset and clouds, you cannot see the scenery of the earth. The opportunities for reading books, newspapers and writing letters are relatively increased. Usually there will be newspapers and magazines on board, and you can also bring 2 or 3 copies of your favorite books with you.

2. Entertainment: Most Big Macs have movies and audio equipment on board.

3. Catering: In order to avoid vicious competition, international aviation conventions have strict restrictions on airlines. In-flight catering has become the highlight of airlines' entertainment of passengers. Tableware and dishes are very particular. When dining, pull out the small table behind the front seat so that the waiter can set the tableware. Passengers who have special requirements for food, such as Buddhists who are vegetarians and Muslims who do not eat pork, should explain this to the reservation team or the airport counter during check-in in advance, and the airline will make special preparations for you. In order to accommodate international passengers, Western food is always served on the plane. During meals, drinks such as tea, coffee, cola, and soda are also provided, and you can ask the flight attendant for them at any time. First-class passengers can drink for free, while economy-class passengers need to pay. US dollars are the common currency.

4. Smoking: After the "NO SMOKING" signal disappears, passengers in the smoking area can smoke at will; but only cigarettes, shredded tobacco and cigars because the air conditioning speed in the cabin is not efficient enough. Excluded, therefore absolutely prohibited. It is better to keep matches and lighters in your pockets, not in your luggage, as they are safer. Cigarettes are also sold on the plane. They are cheap and you can buy them for your own use or as gifts, but don’t buy too much to avoid being confiscated by customs.

5. Drinking: According to International Air Transport Association regulations, alcohol is not served in economy class, but some airlines do serve alcohol in economy class. Just specify the name of the drink and the waiter will bring it to you. Bottles of wine are also sold on board, and the prices are similar to those in duty-free shops, which is also very cheap. Passengers can use the in-flight bar, but be careful not to get drunk or make a fool of yourself.

6. Sleep: When sleeping, you can put your seat down, put on slippers, put the pillow in place, cover it with a blanket, and it is best to fasten your seat belt to avoid unstable airflow. The flight attendant will wake the passenger up. Please fasten your seat belt. If you wear it, it will disturb your dreams.

7. Going to the toilet: The toilet varies according to the model, some are in the front and some are in the back. There are differences between men and women. Before entering, you should read the sign outside the door clearly to avoid entering by mistake. The "OCCUPIED" signal on the door means that it is "in use" and do not knock on the door again. "VACANT" means that there is no one and it can be used. After entering, be sure to lock the "OCCUPIED" signal before the "OCCUPIED" signal lights up, telling others that you are in use. "FLASH" means flushing after use. Smoking is also strictly prohibited in restrooms.

8. During the flight, the flight attendant will issue an entry registration form or customs declaration form, which should be completed early. The items to be filled in are all on the passport, but they must be filled in in English. If you don’t know how to fill them in, you can ask the accompanying tour guide or flight attendant to fill them in for you.

If the flight direction is the same as the earth's rotation, toward the east, the night will be shorter, and to the west, the night will be longer. This kind of discomfort with jet lag is very common when traveling by plane. You have to start learning from the moment you board the plane. If you get airsick, you can ask the attendant for a sedative, or open the air conditioning vents to blow in cold air. If you can't help it, you can take out a vomit bag to prepare. When the oxygen density in the cabin is unbalanced and you have difficulty breathing, headache, cough, heart discomfort, etc., just pull down the oxygen mask on your head and put it on, and it will return to normal soon. How to use it: When the plane just takes off, you should pay attention to the attendant's demonstration of the life-saving equipment in the plane.

When flying for a long time, you might as well chat with the strangers sitting next to you and exchange each other's knowledge. This can relieve loneliness, make more friends, and enjoy the fun of "all brothers in the world"< /p>

Tips: What to eat before boarding the plane

Do not eat foods containing too much fiber and foods that are easy to ferment and produce gas before boarding the plane to avoid bloating and loss of appetite on the plane.

Don’t eat too much. Eating a large amount of greasy or high-protein food is not easy to digest, which can lead to bloating, diarrhea and airsickness.

Don’t get on the plane hungry. Because when flying, the changes in high-altitude air temperature and pressure cause the human body to consume more calories.

Eat high-calorie foods, and an empty stomach can easily make you feel nauseous, so you should eat easily digestible and nutritious foods before boarding the plane.

In principle, one to one and a half hours before boarding the plane, you can choose to eat some bread, snacks, milk, lean meat, fruits, etc. according to your personal preference, as long as you are eighty percent full.

Finally, if you have any questions, just ask the flight attendants and they will answer you.

First, purchase airport construction fees and insurance

my country stipulates that when taking a flight from an airport in my country, you need to purchase airport construction fees. Airport construction fees: The domestic airport construction fee standard is generally per person 50 yuan.

However, there are some exemptions. According to the provisions of Caifa S199897 of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, the airport construction fee can be exempted in the following situations:

On the day of taking a domestic flight (the same day as the next flight listed on the ticket) The time interval is within 8 hours) Passengers in transit are exempt from airport fees. However, if you change to an international flight, you will have to pay the airport construction fee no matter how long you stay at the airport.

International passengers who are transiting at domestic airports and exiting the quarantine hall are exempted from paying airport fees; however, if you have gone through immigration formalities, such as transferring to a domestic flight, you must pay airport fees as required.

Children under 12 years old (including 12 years old) holding a half ticket are exempt from airport fees.

Passengers holding diplomatic passports taking international flights and flights departing from Hong Kong and Macao are exempt from airport fees; passengers holding diplomatic passports taking domestic flights. Airport fees must be paid as required.

You only need to pay 10 yuan to take the following regional aircraft: domestic MA60, Y7, Saab 340, Dornier 328, 8-300/400, ATR72, CRJ200 and ERJ145.

Insurance is a voluntary act, and passengers can decide on their own to insure "Domestic Air Transport Passenger Personal Accident Insurance" from an insurance company. The payment of this insurance amount will not exempt or reduce the compensation limit that the airline shall bear.

Second, check-in

This is mainly to confirm that your ticket is valid, exchange for a boarding pass and check in luggage. Most airports should also present airport construction fee certificates at this time. Check-in procedures close 30 minutes before the scheduled departure time of the flight. Things you need to know when checking in:

The boarding pass generally indicates your personal name, flight number, boarding gate, flight boarding, departure time, seat number assigned to you, etc. material. Please keep your boarding pass and do not tear off the boarding coupon by yourself. It is your only certificate for final boarding.

Two or more traveling companions or group passengers traveling on the same plane to the same destination or stopover point, regardless of whether they are traveling in the same class of seats, if they check in baggage at the same place at the same time, The free baggage allowance can be calculated based on the number of people and fare and seat class.

Baggage value declaration: When the value of a passenger’s checked baggage exceeds RMB 50 per kilogram, the baggage value can be declared, and the airline will charge a declared value surcharge. The declared value cannot exceed the actual value of the baggage itself. The maximum declared value of each passenger's luggage is RMB 8,000. When baggage that has been declared is lost, compensation will be based on the declared value. If the declared value of the luggage is higher than the actual value, compensation will be based on the actual value.

Third, pass the security check channel

After purchasing the airport construction fee and completing the check-in formalities, you can pass the security check channel. The main purpose here is to check your identity documents, airport construction fees, and air tickets, and to check your personal and carry-on luggage to ensure safety. For information on your personal and carry-on luggage regulations, please refer to the Baggage Regulations. Security personnel have the right to refuse boarding if you bring too much baggage or refuse you boarding due to security concerns. Therefore, you need to cooperate with security personnel as much as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Fourth, wait in the waiting room to board the plane

After passing the security check channel, you can enter the waiting room and wait to board the plane. Please go to the designated waiting area indicated on your boarding pass and wait for boarding.

Fifth, boarding

After the boarding time is up, you can line up to board the plane. Only check your boarding pass when boarding. The staff will confirm that your boarding pass has been stamped with security stamps and you have boarded the flight correctly. At the same time, please note:

Pay attention to the boarding time and departure time of your flight. The boarding time is generally 25 minutes earlier than the departure time. Once the departure time passes, your boarding qualification will be cancelled.

The waiting position may change at any time. Please pay attention to the relevant changes in a timely manner, especially when the estimated boarding time comes. Pay attention to the airport announcement. If there is no movement, you should consider that your waiting position may be wrong, and contact you as soon as possible. Contact staff.

Sixth, on the plane

When you enter the cabin, you can give your seat card to the flight attendant and ask him to lead you to your seat. Generally speaking, the seats at the front of the flight, close to the cabin entrance and exit, have fewer people walking around, are quieter, and the shaking will not be too severe when the weather is bad; but the view will be blocked by the wings and engines, and the meal service will be slower ( Except for U.S. aircraft). The advantages and disadvantages of the rear seats are opposite to those of the front seats. Seats on international flights are fixed. When making a reservation with the airline, you can specify the front and back seats according to your personal preferences. Most domestic routes do not have assigned seats, so you can choose your own seats based on the order in which you get on the plane. After arriving at your seat, you can place your coats, hats and other light items on the shelf above the seat, while heavier carry-on luggage should be placed under the seat; coats or rain gear can be left to the flight attendants for safekeeping. If you need any help, you can ask the flight attendants for help, you’re welcome. Before and after the plane takes off and lands, if the plane shakes violently, you should fasten your seat belt and stop smoking.

As the plane ascends, your ears will feel uncomfortable due to the high altitude pressure. Chewing gum or eating to keep your daily cavity moving can reduce the discomfort. If a baby is traveling with you, you can feed milk at this time.
