Also see a huge number of phrases on the topic in the English phrasebook "At the airport" Text in English: When preparing to fly, passengers are requested to arrive at the airport 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. Economy class tickets are much less expensive. Each passenger more than 2 years old gets a free luggage allowance. Generally this weight limit is 20 kg of checked baggage for economy class passengers and 30 kg for first class passengers. If you check excess luggage you’ll have to pay a fee calculated by the number of extra pieces and the extra weight. Every passenger is also allowed one small carry-on bag, for instance a laptop computer or small suitcase. 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. This is an anti-terrorism measure, and anything in your luggage that might be dangerous or disturbing to other passengers must be handed over to one of the crew and will only be returned to the owner after the plane has reached its destination. 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. When you arrive at your destination, some of these 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. There is one inconvenience you have to be prepared for when you’re traveling long distances by plane. It"s a difference between the time you are accustomed to and the time of the place you're traveling to, especially if it's far from home. At first you won"t feel very well because of that difference in time, - that's called “ jet lag” - but don"t worry about it, shortly you'll be as good as new!

Airplanes and security - Airplanes and security
A few hundred years ago the main forms of transport were walking or riding a horse, donkey, camel and elephant, depending on where you lived.
Nowadays, in most countries long journeys involve some form of motorized transport. People today tend to travel longer distances, more often and at much higher speeds. As a result the world has shrunk over the last century and we now live in a global economy.
There are great advantages in this, but there is a down side too. More travel has also resulted in noise and air pollution, increased stress and damages to local environments and the larger ecosystem.
I am going to tell you about airplane travel. It is the fastest, to my thinking, more convenient means of traveling, because it saves our time and sometimes money. For instance, in the USA, if you travel from the east coast to the west by air jet, it results cheaper for you than to travel by train.
In 1903, the Wright brothers made the first controlled machine-powered flight. It only lasted 12 seconds but changed the world forever.
A century later, air travel is no longer a miracle; it"s something, we take for granted. One billion air passengers now fly every year - that"s equivalent to a sixth of the world"s population.
Is it safe to travel by plane? Before September, 11,2001, it was used to be a relatively safe travel.
On September, 11, terrorists attacked on America. Since then* security at airports and in the skies has been under scrutiny. That day four passenger planes were hijacked, more than 4,000 people killed.
On busy summer"s days, plane thousands of travel through skies. To make sure everything runs smoothly, there are air traffic control centers. In addition, every airport has an air traffic control tower. Every square meter of airspace is allocated to an air traffic controller. As an aircraft travels through the air, it is monitored by the controller responsible for that sector of airspace.
To calm fears about terrorist hijacks, airports are looking into new technologies that reveal passengers" identities.
Previously in the US, less than 10% of luggage was screened. Under new legislation, every item must be checked by one of three following methods: sniffer dogs, bomb detection machines, extensive manual searches. Around the globe, security firms are working on new devices that can detect materials such as ceramics - which can be made into guns. One such scanning camera has been developed in Britain. It uses thermal imaging technology originally created to help pilots see through fog and cloud.

During the summer, when the day is busy, thousands of planes travel the skies. To make sure everything goes smoothly, there are flight control centers. TO to the same, every airport has an air traffic control tower. Every square meter of space
localized and controlled by dispatchers. During its flight, the airliner, being at a certain point, is controlled by the dispatcher responsible for this area of space.
