Things to note when flying

The improvement of living standards has led to great improvements in all aspects of the human body. There are now many means of transportation, such as trains, cars, and airplanes, which are common choices. Airplanes are the best choice for many people. Airplanes are fast and save time to reach some places. However, there are also many things to pay attention to when taking a plane, which also needs to be understood.

Many people don’t know what to do when taking a plane. So what are the precautions to take when taking a plane? The following is a detailed introduction so that you can have a good understanding of this issue and know what to do best.

Things to note when flying:

1. Book your tickets early and on time. During the Spring Festival, air tickets are in short supply, so it is safer to book your tickets early. After booking a flight ticket, be sure to purchase it back within the time specified by the airline, otherwise the seat will be cancelled due to overtime. In addition, it is best to arrive at the airport 90 minutes before your flight takes off to check in.

2. What to do after missing a flight? There is no need to panic after missing a flight. You can go to the relevant department to get confirmation of the missed flight before 12:00 noon the next day after the flight takes off, and you can change to a subsequent flight and be exempted from the missed flight fee once. Passengers who have not obtained confirmation or have missed the flight after the ticket is changed will have to pay a missed flight fee of 20% of the ticket price if they want to continue their journey.

3. Valuables should be carried with you. Cash, securities, jewelry, antiques and other valuables should not be placed in checked luggage. In addition to the value declared when checking in, if the above-mentioned items are lost or damaged, they can only be compensated as general items in accordance with relevant civil aviation laws and regulations. It is better to bring these items into the cabin as carry-on items or hand luggage and keep them yourself.

4. How do patients with special diseases board the plane? Generally speaking, passengers with limited mobility can board the plane, and can ask the airline to provide wheelchair or stretcher services when booking. Some passengers with special diseases are advised not to board the plane, such as severe heart failure, severe otitis media, recent spontaneous pneumothorax, neurological disease patients who have undergone pneumothorax reshaping recently; large mediastinal tumors, extra-large hernias, intestinal obstruction, head injuries with increased intracranial pressure, skull fractures, etc. If they want to board the plane, they must obtain a "diagnosis certificate" filled out by a county, city or equivalent medical unit 96 hours before the flight. It is valid only after being signed by a doctor, stamped by the hospital and indicating that it is suitable for boarding. This certificate is valid for critically ill patients before takeoff. In addition, they must fill out the relevant flight application form in accordance with regulations.

5. You must bring your ID card, household registration (people under 16 without ID card), passport. If your ID card is lost or you are in the process of applying for a certificate from the police station (including) where your household registration is located, you can use the certificate from the public security agency above the police station where your household registration is located, excluding the public security agencies and security agencies of enterprises and institutions. If you lose your ID card during the check-in process at the airport, you can go to the airport public security branch to get a temporary boarding certificate. The above certificates must be in duplicate (both the round-trip security check must be kept for record), and the certificate requires a photo and the reason and time for boarding.;

6. After arriving at the airport, large luggage needs to be checked in (volume exceeding 20*40*55 cm and weight exceeding 5 kg). You should check in your baggage at the same time as you check in. If you have a pet at home and don't want to leave it alone at home, you should also check it in. You should also go to the Animal and Plant Quarantine Station to get your pet's health certificate. You will also need a breathable box to hold it and make it feel comfortable.

7. Next, you will go through security check. Before going through security check, please check your luggage to see if there are any items that you may have accidentally put in that are not allowed to be carried with you, such as wine (white wine can be checked in if it is well packaged, but beer cannot be carried), knives (blades below 6CM, including Swiss Army knives, can be checked in), defensive devices (cannot be carried), drinks (no more than two bottles per person, each bottle is 500ML, and the rest must be checked in). In addition, there are some common sense that everyone knows: for example, flammable and explosive items, highly toxic items, controlled knives, GUN ammunition, etc., which are not allowed to be brought.

8. After passing the security check, you can wait in the waiting room for the announcement to board the flight. Make sure to listen carefully to your flight number and boarding gate to avoid getting on the wrong plane.

9. Finally, when you get on the plane, the beautiful flight attendants will remind you to turn off your mobile phone and some electronic products, such as Walkman, MP3, etc. Finally, I wish you a pleasant journey.

Through the above introduction, you will have a good understanding of what to pay attention to when taking an airplane. Therefore, you should also be aware of these when taking a plane. However, it should be noted that when taking a plane, the mobile phone should be turned off, otherwise it will interfere with the operation of the aircraft. This needs to be understood.
