Now people can use more and more means of transportation, and air tickets have become much cheaper. At this time, many people who have not been on a plane will want to try the feeling of flying. So, what are the precautions for flying for the first time?
Preparation before departure:
1. Ticket purchase:
At present, there are usually three ways to buy tickets. The most commonly used way is to buy tickets online (qunar.com, ctrip.com, lvmamu.com, feizhu.com, etc.). The second way is to buy tickets by telephone. If you don't know the telephone number, you can call 114 to inquire about the local purchasing agency, and you may charge a ticket delivery fee. The third way is to buy tickets at the airport, which is not recommended now, Because it's not easy to control the flight time. Generally, the tickets are more tight near the departure. Of course, there will be more or less first class business class
2. Check the documents and bills
Before you leave, you must check whether you have all your certificates with you. If it's not too troublesome, you'll have to take more Hong Kong and Macao passes (those that haven't expired...) if you want to go abroad, you'll have to take more passports
3. Check whether the luggage is overweight
Domestic: generally, free allowance for checked baggage by weight: on the routes with free allowance for checked baggage by weight, according to the different seat levels of the tickets, the free baggage for each passenger paying adult or child tickets is 40kg in first class, 30kg in business class and 20kg in economy class. Baby passengers who buy tickets at 10% of the normal fare are entitled to a free luggage allowance of 10kg.
Foreign: different countries, need to consult the current airline standards
Key points: lighters (including electronic lighters), controlled knives, etc. are not allowed to be consigned. For other prohibited items, please search the catalogue of prohibited items for civil aviation passengers
5. Departure:
OK, now you can call a good car to start! Usually, flights have to board 30 minutes in advance, so you need to calculate the time and arrive at the airport 1-2 hours in advance, so as not to delay the time due to any problem in the middle. You need to make it clear which terminal you are in. Now many airports have several terminals. Generally, the distance between the terminals is quite long. Don't go wrong and delay the time
If you know the airport bus stop, you can also take it nearby, or you can go to the air ticket office in the urban area first, where there are usually airport buses. How can I board at the airport? Airport boarding process
Airport boarding process:
Step one: identification
If you forget to bring your ID card, you can go to the airport terminal police station for a temporary ID card, or self - service machine
Step 2: boarding pass
1. Self service machine:

2. Check in:
If you can't find your ticket, you can go to the information desk. Just give your ID card to the staff.

Step 3: security check
1. Before entering the security waiting area, some staff will tell you that you are not allowed to carry lighters, drinks and other prohibited items
Tips: during the strike hard period or local important festivals, there will be armed police patrolling near the security check during the activity. Don't be scared! ~
2. Line up to enter the security check desk. If someone is handling, please wait outside the yellow line. Show your ID card or passport and boarding pass, face the camera and wait for the staff to confirm the information. After confirmation, the staff will stamp on the boarding pass and return it to you.
3. Take back your boarding pass and you can directly enter the security channel. You should take out the electronic equipment and metal objects separately and put your personal package into the security track. When you enter the security gate, some staff will check you with a handheld security scanner. (drinks and the like may require you to have a few drinks face to face, so you'd better not bring them when you enter the security check. Don't worry about thirst, There are free drinking fountains and kiosks for bottled drinks in the waiting hall. The price is similar to that outside. Drinks bought in the waiting hall can be taken to the plane
4. Tips: if you are late, you can take the special passage according to the ticket time. When you get out of the security check, you can call a battery car or two to take you there. Generally, it's only ten or twenty yuan
Step 4: waiting
1. After security check, there will be an obvious sign. Find the location according to the gate number on your boarding pass. Wait for boarding at the gate, and there will be a broadcast notice before boarding.
2. The electronic screen at the gate will also be displayed. If you can't understand the information on the screen, you can ask the staff. (note that if everyone gets up and lines up at the gate, it will be very close.)
Step 5: boarding
1. After hearing the broadcast, everyone began to line up. There was a staff member at the gate to check the ticket. He would tear off the copy of the boarding pass and return the other parts. (if you have checked luggage, please pay attention not to lose the check-in ticket, which is usually pasted on, sometimes it may be scratched off accidentally.)
After checking in, you enter the boarding passage and get on the plane directly
2. The planes of some small airlines may not be able to get to many stops, so they have to stop on the far apron. So they need to take a ferry bus to go there. Don't worry, just follow. If you don't understand, just ask the staff. Don't walk around by yourself
Step 6: seats
1. The boarding pass indicates your position, such as 9E, 15C, etc. the number represents the row, and each row is arranged according to a, B, C, D, e, F. for example, 9e is the e position of row 9. The seat number on the plane is marked on the bulkhead where the luggage is placed (above the seat).
2. Just listen to the arrangement of the stewardess after taking a seat. At this time, you can ask the stewardess to provide blanket, cushion, eye mask and other items for free. If you need them, you need them in advance, because generally the number is not full. If someone wants them, everyone needs them, so it may not be enough
Step 7: collect your luggage when you arrive
When you get out of the plane or ferry to the entrance, there will be a sign indicating the location of the baggage claim. Don't panic if you can't find it. Just follow the crowd or ask the staff
There will also be a check-in when leaving, mainly to prevent taking the wrong luggage.
Step 8: leave the airport
If you have less luggage, it's more cost-effective for the airport bus to go to the urban area. Ask the staff about the bus platform. Generally, it's more than ten or twenty yuan if you choose a good line. (for example, in big cities such as Shanghai, there will be a subway connection, and the whole journey will cost more than 10 yuan, which is very convenient
