Travelling by air

Let's assume you arrive at the airport to travel somewhere by air. You have possibly

made your reservation by phone and haven't got your ticket yet. In that case the

first thing you'll do is go to the airline ticket desk to buy your ticket.

If you look at the flight-information board, you'll find details about your flight: what

the scheduled departure time is, whether it's delayed, which gate you're to

"proceed" to, etc.

If possible, don't check in at the last minute. Since a certain percentage of passengers

are "no-shows" (i.e. have a booking but don't show up for the flight), airlines

normally overbook their flights - so even a confirmed reservation is no guarantee

that you'll actually get a seat. Latecomers are more likely to get "bumped" than

those who check in early.

At the check-in desk you show your ticket, check in your baggage, and are given a

boarding pass.

At most airports there are security checks. Cabin bags are X-rayed and must be

opened if suspicious objects are seen. Passengers are examined with a metal

detector or hand-searched.

If you're going abroad, you have to go through passport control. On your arrival you

have to go through customs as well. - You may wish to buy something at the dutyfree

shop. Things like cigarettes and whisky are usually much cheaper there than

in normal shops. But be careful: not everything is necessarily less expensive than

at home. And don't forget: goods bought cheap at the duty-free may prove expensive

if you have to pay duty on them at your destination.

After boarding, stow your hand baggage safely under the seat in front of you or,

where possible, in one of the overhead luggage bins. Make sure you fasten your

seat belt for takeoff and landing and at other times when the FASTEN SEAT BELT

sign is on. Smoking is only allowed in the smoking section.

One person in six is afraid of flying. If you have this problem, you should relax,

breathe deeply, and consider this: Statistics show that it's 25 times safer to travel

by air than by car.
