PLANE CHECK

TROLLEY

This is the little “vehicle” with wheels that you use to carry your bag. All trolleys are pre-programmed to go in the opposite direction to the one in which you want to go.

This is the piece of paper that gives you permission to fly on the plane. In the good old days, people got their tickets from travel agent’s; but these days, many people get their ticket on the internet. These are known as e-tickets, and basically consist of a printed page with a few numbers on them. How boring!

This is the long table where you go to show the airline your ticket and to check in your bags. If you are ever lost, just look for the check-in desk with the longest queue – it’s got to be yours! All the others will be free.

At the check-in desk they ask you what kind of seat you want: a window one, or an aisle one. The window one gives you a better view, but you are trapped; on the other hand, the aisle seat gives you the freedom to get up when you want, but you’ve got nothing to look at, apart from the person next to you. If you are flying into London Heathrow, ask for a right-hand side window and enjoy one of the best views money can buy (unless it’s cloudy).

This is special card that they give you that permits you to board the plane, and also buy cheap alcohol and cigarettes in Duty Free.
