ЭПИГРАФ

Air travel

When we get to the airport, first we go to the check-in desk where they weigh our luggage.

Usually we are permitted 20 kilos, but if our bags weigh more, we have to pay excess baggage.

When we lose our bags, we have to go to the lost property office .

The airline representative checks our tickets and gives us boarding cards for the plane with our ticket numbers on it.

Then we go through passport control where a customs officer checks our passports.

After customs we go into the departure lounge . Here we can have a rest and read newspapers/books.

At the departure lounge, we can also buy things in the duty-free , e.g. perfume and souvenirs.

About half an hour or forty minutes before take-off, we are told to go to a gate number, e.g. gate D12, where we wait before we get on the plane. When we get on the plane, we find our seats.

If we have hand luggage , we can put it under our seats or in the overhead locker above our seats.

The plane arrives on the ground, we have to wait for it to stop. Then the doors are open, we get off the plane.

When we get off the plane, we go to the terminal building .

At the baggage reclaim we collect our luggage.

Then we pass through customs , here we can declare our goods.

If we are lucky, we can get a bus, taxi or train to the center of a town without waiting too long.
