Tip: English is the mother language in international airports. When you arrive, you will

airports the baggage carts use to be free.
Vocabulary:
When you have to make an airplane trip the first thing you have to do is: to choose
an airline and book your ticket(s), you can only buy an one-way ticket or an
round-trip ticket. Then, you choose a seat, it may be in the window seat or in
the aisle seat.
In the departure, you need to be on time at the airport, to check-in your
luggage, and do not forget your carry-on luggage that goes with you in the
airplane! When you finish check-in, take your passport and your ticket and go to
the Departure Gate.
Before you go to the departure lounge, you have to pass through the airport
security, take off your shoes, your luggage pass by the baggage screening monitor
and the security guards may go through your belongings. But do not worry, if you
are not carrying any illegal item, soon you will be at the boarding área, where you
be able to buy many things, without worrying with the rates in the duty-free shops.
Be carefull, do not wast a lot of time! And do not miss your flight! Always look at the
departure and arrival board, pay attention on your boarding gate and your
flight number. In general, domestic flights stay apart of international flights.
In the boarding, stay with your passport and ticket. Before the plane take off, the
flight attendant will ask you to fasten your seatbelt, put your seat on the
upright position and lift your foodtray. During the flight, you may watch to a
movie and listen to music with your headphone or use the reading light to read
something.
Before your arrival, if your flight is an international flight, you will have to fill out the
Customs and Immigration form. Then, when the plane land, you will to the landing
area (arrival) to take your baggage at the bagage claim, looking in what carrousel is
your suitcase going out. This is the basic vocabulary to an air trip. Enjoy your trip!
