Nowadays people who go on business mostly travel by air, as it is the fastest means of traveling. Here are some hints on air travel that may be helpful.
Passengers are requested to arrive at the airport two hours before the departure time on international flights and an hour before on domestic flights as there must be enough time to complete the necessary airport formalities. Passengers must register their tickets, weigh in and register the luggage. Most airlines have at least two classes of travel, first class and economy class, which is cheaper. Each passenger of more than two years of age has free luggage allowance. Generally this limit is 20 kg for economy class passengers and 30 kg for first class passengers. Excess luggage must be paid for except for some articles, that can be carried free of charge.
At the departure lounge you can buy things in the duty free, e.g. perfume, alcohol and cigarettes. About half an hour or forty minutes before take off, you are told to go to a gate number, where you wait before you get on the plane.
Each passenger is given a boarding pass with your seat number on it to be shown at the departure gate and again to the stewardess when boarding the plane.
When you board the plane, you find you seat. If you have hand luggage, you can put it under your seat or in the overhead locker above your seat.
Watch the electric sign flashes when you are on board. When the “Fasten Seat Belts” and “Put your seat in the upright position” signs go on, do it promptly, and also obey the “No Smoking” signal. You may hear “We are now cruising” (=flying comfortably) at an altitude of 10,000 metres.
The plane taxis (=moves slowly) towards the runway, and when it has permission to take off, it accelerates along the runway and takes off.
Do not forget your personal effects when leaving the plane.
