Step-by-step instructions, up to the end of the trip, there are several strictly consecutive stages:

check-in

To describe how to land on the plane step by step, you need to start from registration. So, if the passenger can say to himself: "I first go on the plane for the first time," he already knows what has to arrive at the airport. At the same time, in large cities there may be several airports and terminals. The name of the airport and the terminal number are indicated in the ticket, which must be carefully learned.

Reaching the airport, you need to find an electronic scoreboard in his hall, which contains information about flights in the near future. Typically is placed close to the entrance in a prominent place. The English name is "departures". To navigate, you need to search in the list number of your flight, then on the line it is currently at the moment.

Important! At the airport of destination and departure time it is impossible to navigate. In the same city, different flights can fly out, and sometimes changes.

For registration there are three options:

• on the registration rack;
• in the terminal for self-registration;
• on the Internet from home.

Registration at the airport

At the specified reception posts, the passenger presents its passport ticket. Sometimes, with international flights, the country's country visa is checked, may be asked to present a return ticket and even a bank card used to pay for a travel document. The order of registration and planting a plane with an electronic ticket is no different. The only difference is to show a passport without presenting a ticket on the registration rack.

After that, the passenger will be given a boarding pass, which contains important information:

• landing number (Gate);
• place in the cabin liner;
• clock began landing.

Important! The start time of registration procedures at the airport is 3 hours before departure, ending 40 minutes before the departure of the aircraft.

Transit passengers are issued landing document and on the connection flight.

The second way to register at the airport is in an auto-registration machine. It is necessary to find the airline terminal with which the aircraft flying. It looks like terminals of payment bills of mobile phones and other services, only on the device will be the logo of the airline. There is a surname, a ticket code, you may need to scan the passport, then it is proposed to choose a place. The boarding pass is automatically printed with the same information that is issued at receptions.

Through the Internet

Online registration is available even on a mobile phone. It opens at different times from different air carriers. At least one day before the departure of the aircraft, and some companies for 1 month. On the airline's website you need to find a button or the "Check-in" tab and stages to enter a ticket code, personal data, choose the site you like. The process of printing the boarding coupon ends.

The boarding pass can also be printed in the electronic terminals of the airport or ascend to the registration rack.

Important! Any method of electronic registration is not suitable for travelers flying with animals accompanying people with disabilities. According to the rules of individual air carriers, it is impossible in terminals to register with children to two year old.

Luggage and manual sting

Luggage is left at registration racks, regardless of the registration method. For passengers who have already registered online, there are special luggage racks - "Drop Off", where the suitcases are accepted at an accelerated procedure. With the usual method of registration on racks, luggage is also accepted at the same time. Suitcases weigh and supply a special tag. The baggage receipt is issued and the passenger. Often it passes on the boarding pass. It can be identified by your suitcase. Then the baggage will go to load a plane on the conveyor belt.

Luggage provisions must be clarified when purchasing a ticket. Manual sting is also weighed, equipped with a tag and returns to the passenger. As a rule, its weight should not exceed 5-8 kg.

What you need to do to avoid problems when putting baggage:

1. Weigh the suitcase and if its mass exceeds the norm, shifting individual things into manual sting, without breaking the rules of baggage.
2. In advance to explore the rules of transporting fragile and oversized cargo, which must be safely packaged. In this case, it may be necessary to independently attribute oversized baggage to another rack - "OVERSIZED BAGGAGE DESK".

Security inspection

In Russian airports, it is usually a passport control, then the inspection of security. In many foreign airports, on the contrary: the first is inspected.

Lookup in front of the flight is a thorough check by employees of the airport of the passenger's personal belongings - what is with you and in hand luggage. Upper clothes, often shoes, belts, clocks need to be removed and put on the conveyor tape, which carries them through the scanning device. The passenger itself is sent to pass through the metal detector frame.

1. Take plastic containers, fold the bags, clothes and other things, put on the conveyor belt.
2. Check if there is no liquids in vessels exceeding a volume of 100 milliliters, stitching and cutting objects, etc. All this is packaged in luggage, rendered on registration racks. Baby nutrition and vital medications roll as an exception.
3. A passenger having a pacemaker warns the security service worker. It will be inspected personally by an employee of the same floor without passing through a metal detector.

Important! When inspecting security, the passenger must be as serious as possible. Remember that jokes about bombs, weapons, etc. can be perceived as the reason for removing it from the flight.

International Flights

The main difference of pre-flight inspection on international flights is the passage of customs control. If the passenger does not bring subjects to customs declaration with him, it goes through the green corridor.

If there is a cash currency (or rubles) in the amount equivalent to 10 thousand US dollars, value, etc., according to the rules of the transport, the declaration in the "Red Corridor" of customs is filled.

Important! Fill out the Declaration be sure to register on the flight.

Passport control

Border control of passports is carried out with international flights. Usually it is indicated by Passport Control. It requires a borderline service passport with a landing coupon. He will check the database document: Do there have an obstacle to the departure from the country? Then put a stamp on the place and the border crossing date.

Departure zone

In the cafes, restaurants, Duty Free shops are located in the departure waiting area, but you first need:

1. Find your landing (GATE). His number sometimes change. This is declared on speakerphone and duplicated on information stands.
2. Remember the location of your Gate and then stroll through the pre-flight zone, not forgetting to return strictly to the boarding time specified in the boarding document (Boarding Time).

Landing

When the plane landing begins, the number of flight number and the name of the airport destination appears on the scoreboard. The passenger must make sure that it is his flight, and show the passport with a landing passport. The whole side of the coupon will tear off, the other must be kept until arrival in the final point and receiving suitcases.

The plane fall in two ways:

• on the bus are delivered to Lainera, where they rise in the ladder;
• pass through the telescopic "sleeve" directly into the plane.

Important! If the delivery to the aircraft is made by bus, it is not advocated profitably, but to go at the end. Perron bus will expect all passengers. When landing through the "sleeve" is better to go first and calmly find your chair.

On board the aircraft, the stewardles will show where the passenger's chair is located. Personal things are folded on the luggage shelf over the chair. If there is no places on the luggage shelf above your chair, you can use other shelves.

Now that registration and landing on the plane is completed, it's time to enjoy the air travel.

Flight

While on board a liner, we must follow the general rules and instructions received in the plane:

• wear straps when required;
• do not get up from the chairs during take-off and landing, entering the turbulence zones;
• do not smoke, etc.

Depending on the level of service, breakfast, lunch or dinner, drinks will be offered. If it is a lourogenant air carrier, then for an additional fee. On board there are newspapers, magazines, sometimes monitors with video deductions, blankets, kids sets.

Important! When take-off and landing can lay ears. Lirements or chewing gum will help relieve the discomfort.

Passage of control on arrival

After completing the flight, if it was an international flight, there are three types of permission to obtain permission to cross the border:

• registration visa on arrival;
• filling an immigration card;
• passport control.

Visa upon arrival

At the airports of those countries where such a procedure is provided for Russians, directly from the aircraft must be taken to the racks "Visa on Arrival". Then - normal passport control.

Filling the immigration card

For states requiring a completed immigration card from each foreigner, its form is most often issued on board a liner at the end of the flight. Filled in English, indicating the purpose of visiting the country, the time of stay, addresses of the hotel or apartment, the rooms of the arriving flight, etc. Blanches can be obtained and after leaving the aircraft, near special racks next to passport control.

Passport control

In a number of countries, the passenger immediately passes on Passport Control. Here is an abroad passport with a landing pass and a visa (obtained in advance or arrival), an immigration card (if required). The airport employee checks the documents, puts a mark in the passport about the crossing of the border. Sometimes, in accordance with the rules of entry into the country, they will be asked to prevent the return tickets, medical insurance, etc.

Important! Foreigners should be in line to the Foreign Passports racks or "All Passports".

Receipt of baggage

According to the signs "Baggage" or "Luggage" passenger passes to luggage context. The information panel of large airports will be indicated by the number of the arrived flight and the luggage transport number. If there are doubts about the suitcase belonging, the rooms of the luggage tag are checked and the passenger issued during registration.

Oversized baggage is issued on separate racks.

Important! If the passenger has the subjects to be customs declaration, it passes through the "red corridor" of customs. The rest go through the "green".

Transfer in the transit airport

Flights can be filled with docking at one ticket. The passenger who has received a boarding pass for the next flight at the departure airport, follows the signs to the Transfer Zone (Transfer).

1. To receive luggage upon arrival at an intermediate airport is not necessary, it will be overloaded to another airliner.
2. If the first aircraft is late, you need to turn on the rack, where transfer passengers are drawn up. There will be asked to fly by the next flight.
3. For states of the Schengen Agreement, passport control is obligatory only if the intermediate and final destination are in the Schengen countries.
4. If the boarding pass at the airport of departure is not issued, it is obtained in the transit zone of the intermediate airport. You just need to approach the rack for transfer passengers with a ticket and a passport.
5. You need to expect your flight in the transit zone, which is also a departure area, with cafes, restaurants and shops.

Important! With transfers at the airports of some countries (for example, USA) requires a transit visa, and passengers are forced to receive luggage.

When two separate tickets are bought with a transfer with a transfer, then other rules apply:

1. Only one flight is registered at the departure place.
2. Upon arrival at an intermediate airport, you need to pass through passports and pick up luggage. Then the procedure for registering and planting a plane is repeated in full with the second ticket. Sometimes you need to move to the next terminal or even at the other airport.
3. In case of being late for the next flight, the ticket disappears.

The passenger, first flying on the plane, is better to choose a flight without transfers or docking one ticket.
