1. Why do passengers have to come to the airport an hour before the departure?

2. What do you have to do if you have excess luggage?

When travelling by air you have to get to the airport early in order to check in about an hour before your flight. If you have a lot of luggage, you can put it on a trolley and push it to the check-in desk where someone will check your ticket and weigh your luggage. If you have excess luggage, you have to pay for it, and it can be expensive. Your heavy luggage is put on a conveyer belt and carried away. A light bag is classified as hand luggage and you can take it with you on the plane.

Then you go to the customs. An immigration officer looks at your passport and a security guard checks your hand luggage before you go into the departure lounge to wait till your flight is announced. If you want to, you can buy some goods at the airport duty free stores.

When you see on the departure board or hear an announcement that you plane is now boarding, you go through the departure gate, and then there is sometimes a security check before you actually get on the plane. When all the passengers are on board and when the captain and his crew are ready in the cockpit, the plane moves to the end of the runway. Finally, permission is received from the control tower and the plane moves faster and faster and finally takes off.

Flying is fun. I like being in a big aircraft. The cabin crew (stewards and stewardesses or flight attendants) are always very friendly and helpful. They walk up and down the aisle bringing meals and drinks; and if the flight is going through some turbulence, they warn everybody that it might be a bit bumpy and ask us to fasten our seat-belts.

On a long flight I like listening to music through the headphones available to all passengers or watch a video, which is always available, too, and sometimes 1 have a sleep. 1 enjoy it all so much that as soon as I get off the plane I want to go on the next flight again.
