28、ling)的问题,因而,作为从事国际工程的有关人员就需要学习一些旅途用语和了解一些飞行常识,以便顺利地到达工程施工所在国。 一般说来,一个项目的人员往往分批而行,由于人多事杂,大家要相互照应,注意带好自己的物品,尤其是护照(Passport)和机票(Ticket)。登机前,要到有关航空公司的机场服务台(Check-in Counter)凭机票和护照领取登机卡(Boarding Card),并办理托运行李手续。注意,在行李标签上一定要填写清楚你的姓名和将行李托运到的地方,填写名字时,要注意英语的Given Name是“名”,而Last NameFamily NameSurname则指的是“姓”,
29、以免取行李时遇到麻烦。航空公司对免费托运的行李重量有一定的限额(baggage allowance),一般为七十磅(约为三十二公斤),超重的部分要缴纳托运费,而且费用很高,所以,登机前要问清楚,尽可能避免超重。另外,对每件行李的重量也有限制。 在飞机上,用餐是免费的,饮料一般也是免费的,但有些航班对供应的各种不含酒精的饮料(Soft Drinks)不收费,对供应的啤酒(Beer)却是收费的。要喝啤酒,可要做好空中小姐(stewardessAir Hostess向你“one dollar,please”(请付一美元)的准备哟。在到达目的地前,机上服务人员就会发给你两张表格,一张是旅客入境卡(La
