(1) Be sure to check in half an hour before the plane takes off, so it's best to get to the airport as early as you can, especially during Golden Week, Spring Festival, and other times when there are huge crowds. Some airports are so strict that they won't let you do it when it's time, such as Beijing Airport.

(2) If you prefer a window seat, you can ask the check-in staff to arrange a window seat for you when you change your boarding pass, which is usually not a problem, unless you go very late and the seat is arranged for someone else.

(3) Some airports will charge an insurance fee of about 10 yuan when you check in your luggage, such as Fuzhou airport; if your suitcase is unlocked, some airports will force you to spend 5 yuan to buy a small lock, such as Guangzhou airport.

(4) When you bring a fruit knife, you'd better put it in your luggage and check it in, or 90% of it may be confiscated. In addition, small animals can not be brought on the plane, to check in also need to have a quarantine certificate, more trouble. Potted plants, flowers can be.

(5) Check-in vouchers are usually affixed to the ticket, and when you arrive and take out your luggage, a staff member will check whether the check-in vouchers and the labels on the luggage correspond to each other. Be careful not to take someone else's by mistake and lose yours.

(F) Delayed or canceled flights

Generally whenever a plane is late, the airport will offer free drinks or meals if it's at mealtime (it seems that evening ones are more likely to be taken care of than midday ones). If an evening flight is told it can't fly that day, it depends. It's for reasons of aircraft maintenance, flight deployment, etc., and the airport will provide food and lodging. If it's due to weather, emergencies, air traffic control, etc., you'll have to refund or change your ticket, in which case the airport doesn't care about food or lodging.

(VII) Flight OversellingOverselling

is when the number of tickets sold for a particular flight exceeds the number of seats on the airplane. In order to protect their revenue, almost every airline has a certain percentage of oversale to ensure the utilization of flight seats. Foreign airlines generally control the proportion of oversold tickets to sold tickets at about 3 percent, while China stipulates that oversold tickets cannot exceed 5 percent.

People are asking, won't this prevent some people from boarding the plane? That's right. The general practice at airports in such cases is to first look for volunteers among travelers to switch to other flights. If there aren't enough volunteers, boarding is denied. The airline will issue a certificate of reimbursement and an accompanying trip discount program for passengers who voluntarily change flights; for passengers who are denied boarding, they will be compensated in cash, or, of course, they can ask for a certificate of reimbursement for a round-trip ticket and an accompanying trip discount program in lieu of the cash reimbursement.

Once denied boarding, passengers are eligible to request compensation from the airline. Specific compensation will be processed immediately at the check-in counter, and an agreement will be signed to waive any right to future retrospective liability from the airline.

To avoid being taken down at the airport and delaying your trip, there are a few things to keep in mind:

(1) The tighter the route, the more likely it is to be oversold.

(2) Try to arrive at the airport as early as possible, late arrivals may be taken down in case of overselling.

(3) The more discounted a ticket is, the more likely it is to be taken down, so if you have bought a discounted ticket, it's a good idea to check in early.

(8) Miscellaneous

(1) From the point of view of airplane comfort, the Boeing 747 wide-body is the best, big and smooth. Slightly smaller models feel better on the Airbus.

(2) The airplane seats are arranged horizontally according to A, B, C, D.......Boeing's label is on the luggage rack, and Airbus's label is on the small light on the top of the seat. If you can't find it, you can ask the flight attendant to help you. For narrow body airplanes, usually 6 seats per row, with A and F being the windows.

(3) On some models, the small table board is not on the back of the seat, but is hidden in the armrest next to the seat, which can be lifted up and taken out.

(4) the plane provides food and drinks, encountered is the meal time also provides the main meal, two boxes, one Chinese and one foreign (rice + bread ah). Not eaten enough can ask for another one. Water can be less drink, although the plane also has a toilet, but every time encountered air currents will have to stop using, besides, when there are many people you are willing to queue up?

(5) Don't forget to turn off your cell phone before takeoff.

(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) In-flight service as a whole, I personally feel that the local airlines are better (Hainan Airlines and Xiamen Airlines. The airline has basically foreign flight attendants on every flight.

As the plane rises, the ears will be uncomfortable due to the pressure at high altitude, chew a piece of gum or eat something to keep your mouth moving, which can reduce the discomfort. If you are traveling with an infant, you may feed milk at this time. Shortly after takeoff, the captain will make a welcome announcement, followed by an attendant's report on the scheduled arrival time and precautions to be taken. The announcement is usually made in two or three languages, including the airline's national language and English.

The seats on the plane are comfortable, with a round button underneath that automatically tilts the backrest back when you press it when you want to lie on your back, but when the plane takes off or lands, the backrest must be straightened out and restored to its original position.

Behind the front seat is a small table, which can be pulled out for eating and writing letters, and then put away after use, which is very convenient. There are usually two or three large bags underneath, with flight schedules, route maps, postcards, paper slippers, and special plastic bags for vomiting. The overhead shelf is equipped with pillows and blankets for passengers to use, and if there are not enough, you can ask the flight attendants for them. Inside the shelf or in the middle of the window, there are air-conditioning holes and light buttons, which can be activated when needed. The equipment varies depending on the model of the airplane, but in general, they all offer similar features, so just ask for them if you need them.

When it is safe to do so, passengers sitting at the emergency exit of an airplane should be careful not to lift the armrests out of curiosity, as this could result in a forced landing or a crash.

Travelers should not make jokes such as "It's a bomb", as they will be detained and be liable for the huge costs incurred.

After sitting down, the program on the plane begins, pay attention to the following points:

1. Reading, writing letters: jet airliners are flying at a high altitude, the fuselage is more stable, in addition to the sunrise, sunset and clouds, can not see the earth's scenery, the reading of newspapers and magazines, as well as writing a letter to the relative increase in the opportunity. Newspapers and magazines are usually available on board, and you can carry 2 or 3 of your favorite books and magazines with you.

2. Entertainment: Most Jumbo Jets have movies and audio equipment on board.

3. Catering: In order to avoid unhealthy competition, the International Aviation Convention restricts airlines very strictly, and in-flight catering has become the highlight of the airline's hospitality for travelers, and the tableware and dishes are all very delicate. When eating, pull out the small table behind the front seat so that the waiter can set the tableware. For passengers with special food requirements, such as Buddhists who are vegetarians or Muslims who do not eat pork, please inform the reservations team or the airport check-in counter in advance, and the airline will make special preparations for you. In order to accommodate international travelers, western food is always served on board. Tea, coffee, cola, soft drinks and other beverages are also served during meals and can be obtained from the flight attendants at any time. First class passengers can drink for free, while economy class passengers have to pay, and the US dollar is the common currency.

4. Smoking: No smoking "NO SMOKING" signal disappears, the smoking area of the passengers can smoke freely; but only paper cigarettes, cigarettes and cigars because the cabin air conditioning speed is not enough to effectively exclude, it is absolutely prohibited. It is safer to keep matches and lighters in your pocket rather than in your luggage. Cigarettes are also sold on airplanes and can be purchased at a cheap price for personal use or as a gift, but don't buy more than one, lest they be confiscated by Customs.

5. Drinking: According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), no alcohol is served in economy class, but some airlines do serve alcohol in economy class. Simply specify the name of the drink and the attendant will bring it to you. Whole bottles of alcohol are also sold on board at prices similar to those in duty-free stores, and are also very cheap. The in-flight bar is available to travelers, but be careful not to get drunk, lest you make a fool of yourself.

6. Sleeping: When you sleep, you can put your seat down, change into slippers, put your pillow on, cover with a blanket, and put on your seatbelt, lest if you encounter unstable air currents, the flight attendants will wake up the travelers and ask them to fasten their seatbelts, thus disturbing their dreams.

7. Going to the restroom: The restrooms vary by model, with some in the front and some in the back. There is a difference between men and women, so before you go in, you should look at the sign outside the door to avoid accidentally entering. OCCUPIED" signal on the door that "in use" do not go to knock on the door, "VACANT" that no one can use. When you go in, you must lock the door before the "OCCUPIED" signal lights up, telling others that you are in use. The "FLASH" signal indicates that you are using the restroom. Smoking is also prohibited in the restrooms.

8. During the voyage, the flight attendants will issue an entry registration form or customs declaration form, which should be completed earlier. You can fill in the form in your passport, but you must do so in English. If you don't know how to do it, you can ask your tour guide or flight attendant to fill it in for you.

If the flight direction is the same as the Earth's rotation, the night will be shorter in the east and longer in the west. This kind of jet lag is very common in air travel from boarding, you have to start learning. If airsickness, you can ask the attendant for a tranquilizer, or open the air conditioning hole to blow cold air, really can not help it, and can take out a vomit bag to prepare. Encountered in the cabin oxygen density imbalance, there are breathing difficulties, headache, cough, heart discomfort and other phenomena, as long as the head of the oxygen mask pulled down on the set, will soon be able to return to normal. When the airplane first takes off, you should pay attention to the attendant's demonstration of the in-flight life-saving equipment.

Long flight, you may want to talk to the neighboring passengers who do not know each other, exchange each other's insights, not only can lift the loneliness, but also to make more friends, enjoy the fun of the "four seas are all brothers"

Tips: Dietary precautions before getting on the plane

Don't eat before getting on the plane contains too much fiber and easily fermented gas production. The food that contains too much fiber and is easy to ferment and produce gas, so as 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 that is not easily digested will lead to bloating, diarrhea and easy airsickness.

Don't get on the plane hungry. Because of the changes in temperature and air pressure at high altitude during the flight, the human body needs to consume more calories.

To eat high-calorie food, and stomach empty easily nausea, so before the plane should eat easy to digest and nutritious food.

In principle, one to one and a half hours before the plane, according to personal preference, choose to eat some bread, snacks, milk, lean meat and fruit, as long as the eight points can be full.
