What do people who have never been on an airplane do?

You must book tickets first. Passengers can book tickets with the relevant airlines or their agents. Passengers who have reserved seats on international or regional flights should go through the formalities of purchasing tickets in accordance with the sales time limit stipulated by the airlines. If they fail to buy tickets within the time limit, the reserved seats will be cancelled.

Check in

The general order is this:

(1) Take your ticket and ID card to the designated counter (generally, you will see a big screen showing the counter number corresponding to each flight as soon as you enter the airport lounge) and give it to the agent. She (he) will help you change your boarding pass and ask if you have any luggage to check. Remember to bring back at least three things: ID card, air ticket and boarding pass. Don't leave them.

(2) Buy insurance (20 yuan. It's not mandatory. See personal needs).

(3) Security check: Three things need to be provided here: ID card, air ticket and boarding pass.

(4) Waiting for boarding at the designated boarding gate. Pay attention to the announcement. The boarding pass indicates the boarding gate number.

Precautions:

(1) Be sure to go through 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 the Golden Week, when Spring Festival travel rush is crowded with people. Some airports are very strict. If you don't do it then, you won't do it. For example, Beijing Airport.

(2) Friends who prefer window seats can ask the handlers to arrange window seats for you when changing their boarding passes. Generally no problem. Unless you are late, the seats are reserved for others.

(3) Some airports charge an insurance premium of around. 10 yuan when checking luggage. For example, Fuzhou Airport will force you to spend 5 yuan to buy a small lock, if your suitcase is unlocked. For example, Guangzhou Airport.

(4) The fruit knife had better be checked in the luggage, otherwise 90% may be confiscated. In addition, small animals can't be taken on the plane. It is more troublesome to check with quarantine certificate. Potted plants and flowers are ok.

Tourists are not allowed to carry inflammable, explosive, corrosive, toxic radioactive substances, polymerizable substances, magnetic substances and other dangerous goods. Passengers are not allowed to carry articles that are prohibited from leaving, entering or transiting the country or other articles that restrict transportation during transportation. Passengers are not allowed to carry weapons, sharp weapons and murder weapons on the plane. Traffic luggage is not allowed to carry money, jewelry, gold and silver products, tickets, securities and other items.

(5) The check-in voucher is generally posted on the air ticket. After arriving and picking up the luggage, the staff will check whether the check-in certificate matches the label on the luggage. Be careful not to take someone else's by mistake and lose your own.

(six) flight delays or cancellations

Generally, as long as the plane is late, the airport will provide free drinks or meals during meal time (it seems that it is easier to take care of it at night than at noon). If the plane at night tells you that you can't fly that day, it depends. It is due to aircraft maintenance, flight deployment and other reasons. The airport will provide accommodation. Due to weather, emergencies, air traffic control and other reasons, you can only refund or change your ticket. In this case, the airport doesn't care about accommodation.

(7) The flight is oversold.

That is, a flight sold more votes than the number of seats on the plane. In order to protect their own profits, almost every airline has a certain proportion of oversold. In order to ensure the utilization rate of flight seats, foreign airlines generally control the proportion of oversold tickets at around 3%, while China stipulates that oversold tickets cannot exceed 5%.

You have to ask. Isn't that why some people can't board the plane? That's right. In this case, the general practice of the airport is to find volunteers among the passengers to take other flights. If there are not enough volunteers, they will refuse to board the plane. Airlines will issue compensation certificates and supporting travel preferential plans for passengers who voluntarily change their flights, and passengers who are refused boarding will receive cash compensation. Of course, instead of cash compensation, they can also ask for proof of compensation for round-trip air tickets and corresponding preferential travel plans.

Once rejected, passengers have the right to claim compensation from the airline. Specific compensation matters will be handled immediately at the check-in counter, and an agreement will be signed to waive the right to pursue responsibility from the airline in the future.

In order to avoid being taken down at the airport and delaying the trip, there are several points to pay attention to:

(1) The tighter the route, the easier it is to oversell.

(2) Arrive at the airport as soon as possible. Late goods may be reduced in price to prevent oversold.

(3) The more discount tickets, the easier it is to win the prize. Therefore, comrades who have already bought preferential tickets should go through the formalities early.

(8) Others

(1) From the point of view of aircraft comfort, the wide body of Boeing 747 is the best. It's big and smooth. Smaller planes feel better about Airbus.

(2) The seats on the plane are arranged horizontally according to A.B.C.D-. Boeing's logo is on the luggage rack. The logo of Airbus is on the small light above the seat. If you can't find it, you can ask the stewardess for help. Narrow-body aircraft generally have 6 seats in each row. A and f are windows.

(3) The small countertops of some models are not on the back of the chair, but hidden in the armrests next to the seats, which can be lifted and taken out.

(4) Snacks and drinks are provided on the plane. Dinner will also be served at mealtimes. Two boxes. One is from China and the other is foreign (rice+bread). If you are not full, you can have another one. You can drink less water. Although there is a toilet on the plane, it should be stopped as long as there is airflow. Besides, are you willing to wait in line when there are many people?

(5) Don't forget to turn off your cell phone before taking off (nonsense). Ha ha. The stewardess will tell you.

(6) When taking off or landing, chewing gum with your mouth open is also effective if your ears are uncomfortable. Stop choking.

(7) Generally speaking, domestic airlines have better on-board service (Hainan Airlines, Xiamen Airlines and Hainan Airlines basically have foreign stewardesses on every flight).

When you enter the cabin, you can give your seat card to the flight attendant and ask him to show you or guide you to your seat. When you arrive at your seat, you can put your carry-on luggage in the luggage compartment at the top of the seat. You can give your coat or rain gear to the stewardess for safekeeping. You can ask the stewardess for help if you need anything on the plane. You're welcome. The plane shook badly before and after taking off and landing. Please fasten your seat belt and don't smoke.

As the plane rises, the ears will be uncomfortable because of the high altitude pressure. Chewing a piece of gum or eating something to make your mouth move can alleviate uncomfortable feelings. If there is a baby around, you can feed at this time. Shortly after take-off, the captain will give a welcome speech on the radio, and then the waiter will report the scheduled arrival time and precautions. Generally broadcast in two or three languages, such as the national language and English of airlines.

The seats on the plane are very comfortable. There is a round button below. When you want to lie on your back, press it hard and the backrest will automatically fall backwards. But when the plane takes off and lands, the backrest must be straightened and restored to its original state.

There is a small table board behind the front seat, which can be taken out for use when eating and writing letters, and put away after use, which is very convenient. There are generally two or three big bags below, including flight schedules, road maps, postcards, paper slippers, and plastic bags for vomiting. There are pillows and blankets on the overhead shelf for passengers to use. If it is not enough, you can ask the flight attendant for it. There are air conditioning holes and light buttons on the shelf or in the middle of the window, which can be started by yourself when necessary. Due to different aircraft models, the equipment will be different, and the functions generally provided are similar. Anyway, asking questions is enough.

In a safe situation, passengers sitting in the emergency exit of the plane should be absolutely careful not to lift the handrail out of curiosity, or the plane will land or crash.

Passengers can't joke about "this is a bomb", otherwise they will be detained and bear the huge expenses incurred.

After sitting down, the program on the plane began.

1. Read and write: The jet airliner has a high flying height and a stable fuselage. Except for sunrise, sunset and clouds, they can't see the scenery of the earth, and the chances of reading books, newspapers and writing letters are relatively increased. Usually there will be newspapers and magazines on the plane, and you can also carry 2 or 3 books and periodicals you like with you.

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

3. Catering: In order to avoid vicious competition, international aviation conventions have strict restrictions on airlines, and on-board catering has become the highlight of airline hospitality, with exquisite tableware and dishes. When eating, pull out the small table behind the front seat and let the waiter set the table. Passengers with special food requirements, such as vegetarian Buddhists and Muslims who don't eat pork, please check in at the reservation department or the airport counter in advance, and the airline will prepare it for you. In order to adapt to international travelers, western food is always used on the plane. Tea, coffee, cola, soda and other drinks are also provided during meals, which can be obtained from the flight attendants at any time. First class passengers can drink alcohol for free, while economy class passengers have to pay. The dollar is the common currency.

4. Smoking: After the "No Smoking" signal disappears, passengers in the smoking area can smoke at will; But only cigarettes, cut tobacco and cigars are absolutely forbidden, because the air conditioning speed in the cabin is not enough to effectively eliminate them. Matches and lighters are best put in your pocket, not in your luggage. It's safer this way Cigarettes are also sold on the plane. You can buy it for your own use or give it away at a low price, but don't buy more to avoid being confiscated by the customs.

5. Drinking: According to the regulations of the International Air Transport Association, alcohol is not provided in economy class, but some airlines provide alcohol in economy class. As long as the name of the wine is specified, the waiter will serve it. The whole bottle of wine is also sold on the plane, and the price is similar to that of duty-free shops, and it is also very cheap. Passengers can use the bar on the plane, but be careful not to get drunk to avoid making a fool of yourself.

6. Sleep: When sleeping, you can put your seat down, put on slippers, put your pillow away, cover it with a blanket, and it is best to wear a seat belt to prevent the unstable airflow from waking passengers. Please fasten your seat belt, it will disturb people's dreams.

7. Go to the toilet: Depending on the model, some toilets are in the front and some are in the back. There are differences between men and women. Look at the sign outside Chumen before you go in to avoid trespassing. The "occupied" sign on the door means "in use". Stop knocking at the door. "Vacant" means that no one can use it. Be sure to lock the "occupied" signal when you go in and tell others that you are already using it. "Flash" means washing with water. Smoking is absolutely forbidden in the bathroom.

8. During the voyage, the flight attendants will issue entry registration forms or customs declarations, which should be filled in early. All the items that need to be filled in are on the passport, but they must be filled in English. If it is not filled in, you can ask the accompanying tour guide or flight attendant to fill it in.

If the flight direction is the same as the rotation direction of the earth, the night in the east will be shorter and the night in the west will be longer. This kind of jet lag is common in air travel. From the time you board the plane, you will begin to study. If you are airsick, you can ask the waiter for a sedative, or open the air conditioning hole to blow cold air. No way, you can also take out the vomit bag to prepare. When the oxygen density in the cabin is out of balance, breathing difficulties, headache, cough, heart discomfort and other phenomena occur, as long as the oxygen mask on the head is pulled down, it will soon return to normal. How to use it? When the plane just takes off, pay attention to the flight attendants' demonstration of life-saving equipment in the plane.

After a long flight, you might as well chat with strangers next door and exchange their experiences, which can not only relieve loneliness, but also make more friends and enjoy the fun of "being brothers in the world".
