At the airport

Modern world opens us a lot of possibilities to set and run our own enterprises. But to succeed in our bussiness we have to be quite flexible and ready to set off to another place at any moment. One of the quickest and most convenient means of transport is plane. However, before using it it is important to get aquainted with some basic tips which will help you feel yourself comfortable at the airport and during the flight.

 Firstly, when preparing to fly, passengers are requested to arrive at the airport 1-2 hours before departure time. They must register their tickets, get a seat assignment, and weigh and check their luggage.

 Most airlines have at least 2 classes of travel, first class and economy class. Also, there are airlines which have three options such as the two mentioned and the business class. Economy class tickets are much less expensive.

The rules for passengers who are traveling abroad are similar in most countries but there are, sometimes, slight differences. Here are some things to remember: if, for instance, you need to go through Customs, try to fill in the customs declaration before you talk to the customs officer. He will ask every passenger the same, routine questions about whether he is carrying anything he wants to declare: like tobacco, alcohol, presents, and sums of money. At the check-in counter, your ticket is looked at, your things are weighed and labeled with their destination. The next formality is filling in the immigration form and going through passport control. Remember to have a black or blue pen with you because the immigration form has to be filled in block letters. You write your name, nationality, permanent address and the purpose of your trip. In most countries there is also a security check when your carry-on-luggage is inspected. After fulfilling all these formalities you go to the departure lounge where you can have a snack, read a paper or buy something in the duty-free shop and wait for the announcement to board the plane.

Finally, when you arrive at your destination, some of the same formalities will undoubtedly be repeated. Often while on board the plane you will be given a customs declaration and immigration form to fill in. At the airport you may be met by a specially trained dog whose job it is to make sure that no passengers are carrying any illegal drugs. In addition, the immigration officer might want to inspect your visa, your invitation and even your return ticket.

Exercise 3. True or False.

Exercise 4. Watch the video and read the dialoge.
