I am afraid of making a fool of myself when traveling by plane for the first time. What should I pay attention to?

01

According to airline regulations, passengers taking international flights should go to the airport counter to check in three hours before departure. Otherwise, the original reservation may be cancelled.

You can check one piece of luggage for free when taking international flights, but please note that the weight must not exceed 20 kg, and the total length, width, and height must not exceed 269 cm. Please put nail clippers, fruit knives, etc. in your checked luggage. Do not Take it with you wherever you go. The weight of each piece of carry-on luggage must not exceed 5 kg, and the size must not exceed 20 cm × 40 cm × 55 cm. Cash, fragile items and valuables must be placed in carry-on luggage, such as your own medicines, cameras, batteries, etc.

In addition, you should also pay attention to the public voltage and frequency of the country you are visiting, and provide corresponding conversion plugs, and carry corresponding electrical appliances according to personal needs. If you take imported high-end cameras, imported zoom lens cameras, and imported laptop computers abroad, you need to declare them to the customs when you leave the country to avoid taxation trouble when you return to the country. Do not carry exhibits with you to prevent them from being detained by local customs and causing unnecessary losses.

When traveling abroad, you should be careful not to speak loudly, call people or laugh loudly in public places; do not block passages when walking in groups; queue up in an orderly manner when taking a bus or shopping; Courtesy should be given to ladies or elderly people. 02

Some countries or regions have many restrictions on smoking. Smoking is generally allowed in public places where ashtrays are placed.

When gathering, time must be strictly observed, especially for group activities, and you must take the initiative to apologize to others if you are late. When talking, do not point fingers, respect others, and do not interrupt or interrupt other people's conversations at will; do not inquire about other people's privacy, such as age, marital status, experience, income, etc. When you meet a waiter from a fellow countryman or Chinese in a restaurant, just exchange greetings and do not ask personal questions such as other people’s experiences, and do not affect other people’s normal work. 03

When traveling abroad, if you don’t understand the local language, be sure to keep a hotel card.

Because the card usually has the hotel's address, phone number, etc., if you can't find your way, you can ask the police or driver for help. It's best to take a notebook and pen with you when you go abroad. If you can't express yourself clearly through drawing, show the other person the drawing.

If you have good financial conditions, it is best to find a reliable translator when you go out to avoid getting lost or being cheated due to language barriers. In addition, if you don't understand the language in a foreign country, you can buy a "Tongyibao" card, and you can call directly for translation if you need it. Of course, if you know a little English and ask someone for directions when you get lost, don't be afraid of being laughed at.
