1. Don't arrive late: The airport usually checks in 91 minutes before the plane takes off to 31 minutes before the flight takes off. Because of the late flight, civil aviation will generally arrange follow-up flights for passengers, but during Spring Festival travel rush, flights are often full, and no spare seats are often arranged; Some low-discount air tickets are not allowed to be changed according to civil aviation regulations, so passengers should pay attention to the labels on the air tickets. Here, it should be reminded that when the air tickets held by passengers are airline e-tickets, they need to get the T4 coupon at the airline e-ticket counter after arriving at the airport, so these passengers need to arrive at the airport earlier.
2. Make no mistake about the documents: you must bring your valid documents. If a passenger loses his resident ID card, military officer's card, police officer's card, soldier's card, home visit card, passport and other valid documents for any reason, he can take the plane with the temporary identity certificate issued by the public security organ where he is registered (the certificate must be affixed with his photo). Minors under the age of 16 can board the plane with their student ID card and household registration book, and the driver's license, work permit and other documents are invalid.
3. Don't take your luggage with you: the standard for passengers to take their luggage for free is: 41kg for first class, 31kg for business class, 21kg for economy class and 21kg for children's tickets. Passengers with baby tickets have no free baggage allowance, and the excess baggage fee is required, and the charging standard is 1.5% of the published fare per kilogram. The carry-on baggage on the plane should not exceed 5 kg and the volume should not exceed 21×41×55 cm. Dangerous goods and other prohibited items are not allowed to be checked, alcohol is not allowed to be carried on the plane, and luggage is not allowed for other passengers.
Fourth, remember the procedures well: follow the following procedures when you arrive at the airport:
① Change your boarding pass: prepare your ticket and valid ID card, choose the corresponding counter according to the flight number and destination, and be careful not to queue up wrong.
② security check: please show your ID card, air ticket and boarding pass when you pass the security check.
③ Waiting: After entering the isolation hall, wait at the boarding area shown in the boarding pass. You can keep your ID card and air ticket well, and only keep your boarding pass.
④ boarding: boarding time is generally 21-31 minutes before departure; Passengers who cannot arrive at the boarding gate 5 minutes before departure (passengers without checked baggage)/11 minutes before departure (passengers with checked baggage) will not be able to board the plane.
if passengers need help with other problems, they can consult the passenger service center at the airport, the information desk in the isolation hall or the mobile attendant. In addition, with the increase of e-tickets, passengers with e-tickets can check in at the check-in counter with T4 coupon (white coupon). Some passengers can buy tickets online without T4 coupon. Please go to the e-ticket counters of China Eastern Airlines, China Southern Airlines and Hainan Airlines Airport to get the e-ticket documents first.
When you enter the cabin, you can give your seat card to the flight attendant and ask him to lead or guide you to your seat. When you get to your seat, you can put your carry-on luggage in the luggage compartment at the top of the seat. The coat or rain gear can be kept by the flight attendant, and you can ask the flight attendant for help if you need anything on the plane along the way. You're welcome. Before and after the plane takes off and lands, it shakes badly, so you should fasten your seat belt and don't smoke.
As the plane ascends, the ears will be uncomfortable due to high altitude pressure. Chewing a piece of gum or eating to keep your mouth moving can reduce the uncomfortable feeling. If you have a baby with you, you can feed milk 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. It is usually broadcast in two or three languages, such as the national language and English of the airline.
The seat on the plane is very comfortable. There is a circular button below. If you press it hard when you want to lie on your back, the backrest will automatically fall backwards. However, 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 pulled out for use when eating or writing letters, and put away after use, which is very convenient. There are usually two or three big bags under it, with flight schedules, route maps, postcards, paper slippers, special plastic bags for vomiting, etc. 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 them. There are air conditioning holes and light buttons in the shelf or in the middle of the window, which can be activated by themselves when necessary. Due to different aircraft models, the equipment will be different, and generally provide similar functions. Anyway, it is enough to ask questions.
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, otherwise 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 caused by it.
after you sit down, the program on the plane begins.
1. Reading and writing letters: Jet airliners fly at a high altitude and have a stable fuselage. Except for sunrise, sunset and clouds, they can't see the scenery of the earth, so 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 of your favorite books and periodicals with you.
2. Entertainment: Most Big Macs have movies and audio equipment.
3. Catering: In order to avoid vicious competition, international aviation conventions impose strict restrictions on airlines, and in-flight catering has become the highlight of airlines' hospitality, with exquisite tableware and dishes. When eating, pull out the small table behind the front seat so that the waiter can set the table. Passengers with special food requirements, such as Buddhists who are vegetarian and Muslims who don't eat pork, should check in at the reservation section or the airport counter in advance, and the airline will prepare it specially for you. In order to adapt to international passengers, 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 attendant at any time. First-class passengers can drink alcohol for free, while economy-class passengers have to pay. The US dollar is the universal 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 prohibited 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. Cigarettes are also sold on the plane. You can buy them for your own use or give them away at a low price, but don't buy more so as not to be confiscated by the customs.
5. Drinking: According to the regulations of the International Air Transport Association, alcohol is not served in economy class, but some airlines serve alcohol in economy class. As long as the name of the wine is specified, the waiter will bring it up. 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. Sleeping: When sleeping, you can put your seat down, put on slippers, put the pillow on, cover it with a blanket, and it is best to wear a seat belt, so as not to wake up the passengers in case of unstable airflow. Please wear a seat belt, which will disturb people's dreams.
7. going to the toilet: depending on the model, some toilets are in front and some are in the back. There are differences between men and women. You should read the signs outside the Chumen Gate before going in, so as to avoid trespassing. The signal "OCCUPIED" on the door means "in use". Don't knock on the door again. "VACANT" means no one can use it. When you go in, you must lock the "OCCUPIED" signal to tell others that you are already using it. "FLASH" means flush with water. Smoking is also absolutely forbidden in the bathroom.
8. during the voyage, the flight attendant will issue an entry registration form or customs declaration form, which should be filled out earlier. The items to be filled in are all on the passport, but they must be filled in English. If they are not filled in, you can ask the accompanying tour guide or flight attendant to fill them in.
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 maladjustment of jet lag is very common in air travel. From boarding the plane, you have to start learning. If you get airsick, you can ask the waiter for a sedative, or open the air conditioning hole to blow cold air. You can't help it, and you can take out a vomit bag to prepare it. When the oxygen density in the cabin is unbalanced, and there are phenomena such as dyspnea, headache, cough and heart discomfort, as long as the oxygen hood on the head is pulled down, it will soon return to normal. How to use, when the plane just takes off, we should pay attention to the demonstration of life-saving equipment in the plane by the attendant.
after a long flight, you might as well chat with strangers in your neighbor's seat and exchange their experiences, which can not only relieve loneliness, but also make more friends and enjoy the pleasure of "being brothers in all corners of the world".
