Siz hozir o'z aeroportingizga etib keldingiz, "Yerning ishonchli bog'ichlarini siljitishga" va o'z darvozangizga bir necha chaqirim yo'l bosib o'tishga tayyormiz. Ammo aeroportlar sizni ko'pchilik manzilingizga borishga majbur qilishini his qilsa-da, ushbu maqola har qanday aeroport orqali o'tishni tezlashtirish va yaxshilashga yordam berishi kerak: ro'yxatdan o'tishdan to bojsiz kassaga qadar.

Qo'llanmaning ushbu qismida siz samolyotga o'tirguningizcha aeroport terminalining kirish eshigi o'rtasida havo orqali sayohat qilishingiz uchun kengaytirilgan maslahatlar mavjud.

Aksariyat xalqaro aeroport terminallari standartlashtirilgan bo'lib, ro'yxatdan o'tish, xavfsizlik, immigratsiya va bojxona kabi tartib-qoidalar bilan ta'minlangan, ammo siz hali ham sizning jo'nash punktingizning o'ziga xos jihatlari haqida o'ylashingiz kerak. Vikipediyada ko'plab shaxslar haqida maqolalar mavjud yirik aeroportlar butun dunyo bo'ylab, Internet qidiruvi sayohat uchun kerak bo'lishi mumkin bo'lgan qo'shimcha ma'lumotlarni taqdim etishi kerak.

Bortga chiqish

Aeroportda bosib chiqarilgan odatiy samolyot pasporti

Ko'proq zamonaviy variantlar - uyda bosib chiqarish va ko'chma yo'lovchilar uchun chiptalar

Uchish chiptasi samolyotga chiqishga imkon bermaydi: sizda bo'lishi kerak samolyotga chiqish. Belgilanish bu sizning o'rindiq raqamlari, chiqish vaqtlari va eshiklarni o'z ichiga olgan samolyotga chiqish kartangizni ishlab chiqarish jarayoni. Umumiy qoida bo'yicha, siz aeroportda parvozingiz rejalashtirilgan jo'nash vaqtidan oldin ichki parvozlar uchun kamida 2 soat (xalqaro parvozlar uchun 3 soat) bo'lishni maqsad qilishingiz kerak. Xavfsizlik tekshiruvida faqat yo'lovchilarga kirish imkoni beriladi. Siz o'zingizni elektron tarzda tez-tez onlayn tarzda yoki aeroportdagi ro'yxatdan o'tish kioskalari orqali amalga oshirishingiz mumkin, ba'zi aviakompaniyalar sizni faqat ro'yxatdan o'tishdan oldin ro'yxatdan o'tkazishingizni talab qiladi. ba'zida o'ta haq to'lamaslik uchun aeroport ochilishidagi hisoblagichlar. Ro‘yxatdan o‘tish bilan aralashmaslik kerak yuk tushishi, bu oldindan ro'yxatdan o'tishni talab qiladi.

Onlayn ro'yxatdan o'tish tobora odatiy holga aylanib borayotganligi sababli, ba'zi aviakompaniyalar bagaj tushishi va ro'yxatdan o'tishni qat'iyan farqlay olmaydilar. Agar navbat qisqa bo'lsa, sumka tushirish peshtaxtasidagi agent sizni tekshirishi, joy ajratishi va sumkangizni olishi mumkin . Ammo bunga ishonmang. Bundan tashqari, xalqaro reyslarda, xususan AQShga, siz hali ham pasportingiz va vizangizni tekshirish uchun onlayn ro'yxatdan o'tgan bo'lsangiz ham, xodimlarga qarshi turish uchun o'zingizni ko'rsatishingiz talab qilinishi mumkin.

Ba'zi aviakompaniyalar bilan siz a samolyotga chiqish o'rindiqni tayinlash bilan, ba'zilari esa joylarni tayinlamaydilar. Parvozga chiqish paytida xavfsizlik xodimlariga, keyin esa darvoza xodimlariga taqdim etish uchun sizga samolyotga chiqish pasporti kerak bo'ladi. Ayni paytda sizning tekshirilgan yuklaringiz tortilib, etiketlanadi va yuk tashuvchilarga topshiriladi.

Aviatsiya sanoati yangi kunni 00:00 da (yarim tunda) boshlashni o'ylaydi. Masalan, agar sizning reysingiz 1 aprel kuni soat 00: 10da (12: 10da) uchishi kerak bo'lsa, siz 31 mart kuni soat 22: 10gacha (22: 10gacha) ro'yxatdan o'tish uchun aeroportda bo'lishingiz kerak. 1-aprel kuni soat 22: 10da aeroportga kelganlarida, bu chalkashliklar tufayli yo'lovchilar parvozlarni o'tkazib yuborish hollari ko'p bo'lgan.

Yon va havo tomoni

Aeroportlar ikki sohadan iborat: quruqlik ro'yxatdan o'tish va yuk tushishi bilan va havo tomon samolyot bilan. Havo yo'lini olish uchun yo'lovchilar xavfsizlik to'sig'ini olib tashlashlari kerak (pastga qarang). Xalqaro aeroportlar mavjud immigratsiya va bojxona nazorati havo qirg'og'idan qirg'oqqa boradigan yo'lovchilar uchun (qarang samolyot bilan kelish tafsilotlar uchun). Boshqacha qilib aytadigan bo'lsak, ushbu hududlar o'rtasida o'tish vaqtni talab qiladi va uni faqat bir marta bajarish kerak. Ruxsatatsiz orqaga qarab o'tish uchun havo chetidan foydalanish qat'iyan man etiladi; Biroq, aksincha, quruqlikdan havo to'siqlariga o'tish orqali xavfsizlik to'siqlari orqaga emas. Havodagi biror narsani unutgan odamlar xavfsizlik xodimlari bilan kelishib olishlari kerak.

Odatda chekka joy jamoatchilik uchun ochiq bo'lganligi sababli, u ko'proq odam, iflos va ko'proq ta'sirga ega bo'lishi mumkin cho'ntaklar va boshqalar jinoyat havo tomoniga qaraganda. Chiptasi bo'lmagan shaxslar ko'pincha havo yo'llariga ishlov berish paytida oila a'zolari yoki do'stlari bilan qolishlari taqiqlanadi. Ba'zi mamlakatlar oila a'zolari va do'stlariga ichki yo'lovchilarni xavfsizlik xizmatidan o'tish sharti bilan ularni samolyotga chiqish eshigiga qadar kuzatib borishlari mumkin; batafsil ma'lumot olish uchun har bir mamlakat qoidalarini tekshiring.

Odatda boj olinmaydigan do'konlar va aksariyat restoranlar havo bo'yida joylashgan. Biroq, ba'zi bir yirik aeroportlarda yaxshi restoranlar va boshqa qulayliklar mavjud, ular hatto uchmayotganlar uchun ham tashrif buyurishi mumkin.

Samolyotga chiqish vaqtlari va kechikishlar

Jenevada jo'nab ketish haqida ma'lumot namoyish etiladi

Sizning samolyotga chiqish chiptangiz aniqlanadi O'tirish vaqti, bu samolyotga chiqish paytida boshlanadi (tugashi bilan emas). Odatda samolyotga chiqish bosib chiqarilgan vaqtdan keyin ham boshlanadi, ammo qisqa parvozlar uchun jo'nashdan kamida 30 daqiqa oldin; yirik samolyotlarda xalqaro parvozlar uchun, ba'zan kamida 45 daqiqa. Ba'zi bir aviakompaniyalar samolyot kelganda tekshirilmaslik uchun samolyotga chiqish uchish joylari tekshirilgandan so'ng ajratilgan hududga kiritilgan yo'lovchilar bilan "oldindan samolyotga chiqish" deb nomlanadi. Ushbu "samolyotga chiqish zonasidan" chiqib ketish tez-tez samolyotga chiqish kartasini yana ko'rsatgandan keyingina chiqib ketish mumkin.

Darvoza (chiqish joylari) odatda jo'nashdan atigi 10-15 daqiqa oldin yopiladi, shuning uchun o'zingizga darvoza oldiga borishga ko'p vaqt ajrating, ayniqsa aeroport katta bo'lsa, siz darvozadan yiroqsiz yoki o'z yo'lingizni bilmayapsiz aeroport atrofida. Maslahat olish uchun sayohat agentligingizga murojaat qiling.

Kechikishlar va bekor qilish

Parvoz bekor qilinganda, odatda texnik yoki ob-havo bilan bog'liq ba'zi muammolar sabab bo'ladi. Ba'zan haqiqiy sabab shundan iboratki, shuncha kam yo'lovchilar aviakompaniyaning reysni bekor qilishi va keyingi reysda, hattoki boshqa aviakompaniyada yo'lovchilarni qayta bron qilishlari arzonroq bo'lganligi sababli. Agar parvoz bekor qilinsa, aviakompaniya sizni boradigan manzilga keyingi reysga etkazishga majburdir, ammo "keyingi mavjud" ning talqinlari turlicha va Ryanair kabi ba'zi arzon kompaniyalar uchun bu haqiqatan ham uzoq kutishni anglatishi mumkin. Evropa Ittifoqi (Evropa Ittifoqi) aviakompaniyalari tomonidan Evropa Ittifoqiga olib boradigan yoki undan chiqadigan reyslarda, yo'lovchilar 3 soat yoki undan ko'proq vaqt kechiktirilgandan so'ng, 250 evro va undan ortiq miqdorda kompensatsiya olish huquqiga ega - agar bu kechikish tashuvchilar nazoratidan tashqarida bo'lgan holatlar bo'lmasa.

E'tibor bering, g'ayrioddiy ob-havo, parvoz uchun ob-havo tufayli samolyotga chiqishdan bosh tortish g'alati hodisasini keltirib chiqarishi mumkin, ammo shunga qaramay, belgilangan vaqtga to'g'ri keladi. Bunga odatda vazn chegaralari sabab bo'ladi va ikki shaklda bo'ladi:

• Bashorat qilingan ob-havo parvozni uzaytirishi mumkin va shuning uchun ko'proq zaxira yoqilg'i talab qilinadi. Aksariyat samolyotlar yo'lovchilarning to'liq yukini va to'liq yoqilg'ini qabul qila olmaydi; agar ular tanklarni kutilganidan ko'proq to'ldirishlari kerak bo'lsa, ular ba'zi odamlarni qoldirib ketishlari kerak. Bu uzoq masofalarda bo'lishi mumkin, ammo uchish-qo'nish yo'lagi qisqa bo'lsa (og'ir samolyotlar sekinroq tezlashadi va uzoqroq uchish-qo'nish yo'lagiga muhtoj) bo'lsa, qisqa reyslarda yuz berishi mumkin.
• Issiqlashganda, uchish rulosi ko'payadi (havo kamroq zichroq va shuning uchun dvigatelning bosishini biroz pasaytirganda qanot ko'taruvchisi kamayadi), ammo uchish-qo'nish yo'lagi endi qolmaydi. Agar havo harorati etarlicha qizib ketsa (masalan, yoz Las-Vegasda yoki Denverda), ular samolyot havoga xavfsiz kirib borishi uchun og'irlikni kamaytirishlari kerak bo'lishi mumkin.

Umumiy qoida bo'yicha, aviakompaniya nazorati ostidagi texnik muammolar kabi holatlar tufayli sizning reysingiz sezilarli darajada kechiktirilsa yoki bekor qilinsa, siz qandaydir tovon puli olishga haqlisiz. Boshqa tomondan, aviakompaniya tasarrufidan tashqaridagi noqulay ob-havo kabi holatlar tufayli siz kechikishlar va bekor qilinganlik uchun sizga hech qanday tovon puli to'lash huquqiga ega emassiz.

Aviakompaniyalar hech qachon parvozlarni keraksiz bekor qilmaydi yoki kechiktirmaydi; pul juda qimmatga tushadi, ko'plab boshqa parvoz jadvallarini buzadi va yomon aloqalarni keltirib chiqaradi. Kechiktirganda yoki bekor qilganda, ular odatda boshqa reysda, ba'zan hatto boshqa aviakompaniyada o'rindiqlarni tashkil qilish uchun juda ko'p harakat qilishadi. Agar bekor qilish ular tomonidan sodir etilgan bo'lsa, ular qonun bilan sizga belgilangan tovon puli to'lashlari va / yoki sizning manzilingizga etib borguningizcha yashash va ovqatlanishni tashkil qilishlari shart.

Juda kam uchraydigan bo'lsa-da, ba'zida aviakompaniyaning o'zi to'satdan ishlamay qoladi, natijada uning barcha reyslari bekor qilinadi va ko'plab yo'lovchilar to'xtab qolishadi. Bu sodir bo'lganda, boshqa aviakompaniyalar ba'zan chegirmali "qutqaruv tariflari" bilan shug'ullanishadi va ba'zi hollarda hibsga olingan fuqarolarni uyga qaytarish uchun hukumat aralashuvi ham bo'lishi mumkin - nima bo'lishini bilish uchun aviakompaniyaning qulashi atrofidagi yangiliklarni ko'rib chiqing.

Ortiqcha buyurtma

Ortiqcha buyurtma samolyotga sig'maganidan ko'ra ko'proq odamlardan parvoz uchun rezervasyonlarni qabul qilish amaliyoti. Deyarli barcha aviakompaniyalar o'z reyslarini ortiqcha bron qilishadi, chunki statistik ma'lumotlarga ko'ra yo'lovchilarning bir qismi parvozga kelmaydi.

Shunga qaramay, samolyotga sig'inadigan odamlardan ko'ra ko'proq odamlar ro'yxatdan o'tishadi. Bu sodir bo'lganda, aviakompaniya xodimlari yo'lovchilarni kassada yoki samolyot to'lgandan keyin ko'ngillilaridan orqada qolib, boshqa reysga chiqishlarini so'rashadi. Agar sizning sayohat rejangiz egiluvchan bo'lsa (masalan, ekskursiya uyida), siz ixtiyoriy ravishda aviakompaniyalar ushbu qiyin vaziyatdan chiqish uchun kompensatsiya olishni xohlashingiz mumkin. Agar ko'ngillilar bo'lmasa, yo'lovchilar aviakompaniya tomonidan orqada qolish uchun tanlanadi. "To'siqlangan" yo'lovchilarga deyarli har doim boshqa yo'nalish yoki keyingi reys bilan o'z manziliga etib borish taklif etiladi; aviakompaniyalar uchun noqulaylik uchun kompensatsiya sifatida kelajakdagi parvozga katta chegirma va hatto naqd pul berish uchun voucher taqdim etish odatiy holdir. Agar bir kechada qolish talab etilsa, aviakompaniya odatda kechikish paytida mehmonxona va ovqatlanish uchun haq to'laydi. Sizning huquqlaringiz mamlakat darajasida tartibga solinadi; ba'zi aviakompaniyalar qo'shimcha kompensatsiya taklif qilishi mumkin (ammo ularning bu boradagi siyosati kamdan-kam hollarda nashr etiladi). Ba'zida ular ko'ngillilarga o'zlarining takliflarini ko'paytiradilar, agar dastlabki taklif etarlicha qiziqish bildirmasa.

Agar siz dovdirashni oldini olishni istasangiz, iloji boricha tezroq joy ajratishingiz kerak. Ba'zan sayohat agentligi o'z reysini zahiralashda buni amalga oshirishi mumkin, ba'zida siz o'zingizning rezervasyoningiz bilan yoki aeroportga kelishdan oldin Internetda erta ro'yxatdan o'tish orqali elektron tarzda buni amalga oshirishingiz mumkin. Agar sizda joy ajratilmagan bo'lsa, unda siz boshqa yo'lovchilarga joy ajratib berilgandan ancha oldin kelgan bo'lsangiz ham, aeroportda sizni urish xavfi bor.

Uchish uchun rad etilgan samolyotga tovon puli Yevropa Ittifoqi 1500 km dan kam masofalar uchun 250 evro, 1500 dan 3500 km gacha bo'lgan masofalar uchun 400 evro va 3500 km dan katta masofalar uchun 600 evro (agar kechikish mos ravishda 2, 3 yoki 4 soatdan kam bo'lsa) muqobil parvoz yoki chiptani qaytarish. Sayohat agentligingiz yoki aviakompaniya bilan maslahatlashing. Agar aviakompaniyani telefon orqali so'rasangiz, oqimini so'rang yuk koeffitsienti, bu ajratilgan o'rindiqlar hajmiga nisbati. Birdan kattaroq narsa - bu bron qilingan reysni bildiradi, yuk omili oshgani sayin yo'lovchining kutish holatiga tushib qolish ehtimoli kamayadi.

Agar omadingiz bo'lsa, haddan tashqari buyurtma ba'zan birinchi darajaga yoki biznes-klassga o'tishga olib kelishi mumkin, chunki premium kabinalardagi o'rindiqlar iqtisoddagilarga qaraganda kamroq sotiladi. Umuman olganda, siz qimmatroq chipta sotib olgan bo'lsangiz, aviakompaniyaning tez-tez uchib yuradigan dasturida elita maqomiga ega bo'lsangiz (yoki o'sha ittifoqdagi aviakompaniyaning) yangilansangiz, va / yoki yolg'iz sayohat qilsangiz yoki kichik guruhda.

Shaxsiy xavfsizlik skriningi uchun qatorlarda / navbatlarda bir xil muammolarga duch kelishingiz mumkin. Agar vaqt oz bo'lsa, yordam olish uchun ro'yxatdan o'tish usullaridan foydalaning.

Chiqinglar

Agar siz stressni kamaytirishni istasangiz, aeroportga minimal ro'yxatdan o'tish vaqtidan kamida bir soat oldin etib boring. Tavsiya etilgan minimal kirish vaqtlarini aviakompaniyangiz bilan tekshiring. Faqatgina qo'l yuklari bo'lsa, kichik aeroportlardan ichki reyslar uchun bu 20 daqiqadan kam bo'lishi mumkin, xalqaro reys uchun uchish yoki uchish uchun 3 soatgacha. BIZ yoki Isroil bu erda xavfsizlikdan o'tish ko'proq vaqt talab qilishi mumkin.

Aeroportga olib boriladigan transport turiga va masofaga qarab, yana bir soatlik bufer qo'shishingiz kerak. Ushbu qo'shimcha soat sizga aeroportga yo'lda kechikishlar uchun bufer beradi. Agar sizning aeroportingizga yengil temir yo'l poezdi xizmat ko'rsatsa, serqatnov soat davomida poyezdlar qatnovining buzilishi bu buferni osonlikcha yo'q qiladi. Buzilish haqida e'lon qilingach, marshrut bo'ylab barcha yo'lovchilar taksini ovlashga kirishadilar va ularning hammasi bir necha soniya ichida olinadi.

Agar biron sababga ko'ra sizni kechiktirsangiz va parvozni o'tkazib yuborishdan xavotirda bo'lsangiz yoki parvoz holati sizning parvozingizni o'tkazib yuborish xavfi borligini ko'rsatadigan bo'lsa, aviakompaniyangiz xodimlaridan birini toping yoki xavfsizlik eshigi oldida xodimlar bilan suhbatlashing. Ular tezda ro'yxatdan o'tishni va sizning navbatda turishingizni tashkil qilishi mumkin. Ammo siz ularga aytmasangiz, ular sezmaydilar. Aeroportga borayotganda yo'lovchilarning yo'riqnomasini chaqirish ham yordam berishi mumkin. Samolyot sizni yolg'iz kutib o'tirmaydi, lekin siz kechiktirilgan parvozdagi 50 ta yo'lovchidan biri bo'lsangiz kutishi mumkin. Biroz arzon narxlardagi aviakompaniyalar Biroq, o'zlarining aviakompaniyalarining kechikib ulanadigan parvozlarini kutib o'tirmasliklari bilan mashhur - shuning uchun ularning aksariyati birinchi navbatda ulanish reyslarini bron qilishingizga ruxsat bermaydilar.

Hatto jamoat transporti keng bo'lgan shaharlarda ham aeroportga etib borish qiyin kechadi. Biroz shahar temir yo'li tizimlar aeroportni tashlab yuboradi; shahar markazidan uzoqda bo'lishi mumkin. O'zining uzoqligi va asir bozorini hisobga olgan holda, aeroportga sayohat ko'pincha shahar ichidagi odatiy sayohatlardan qimmatga tushadi. Bu ahamiyatsizdan muhimgacha (masalan, Denverdan Denver aeroportigacha 9 AQSh dollari, Myunxengacha) bo'lishi mumkin. Myunxen aeroporti (11,20 evro). Londonda yoki Stokgolmda mavjud bo'lgan oraliq to'xtash joylari kam yoki umuman bo'lmagan aeroportni shahar markazidagi temir yo'l stantsiyasi bilan bog'laydigan "tezkor" xizmatlar uchun yanada yuqori mukofot to'lashni kuting.

Ayniqsa, bir nechta aeroportlar xizmat ko'rsatadigan shaharlarda siz aeroport nomini va ushbu aeroport ichidagi aniq uchish terminalini bilishingiz kerak. Shuni yodda tutingki, agar siz noto'g'ri aeroportga etib kelsangiz, to'g'ri aeroportga borish uchun bir soat yoki undan ko'proq vaqt ketishi mumkin. Shuningdek, terminallar bir-biridan uzoqroq bo'lishi mumkin, shuning uchun ham kerakli terminalga etib boring. (Yaxshiyamki, katta va zamonaviy aeroportlarda alohida terminallarni bir-biriga bog'laydigan va yurishni talab qiladigan "odam ko'chirish" shakllari ko'p.) Aeroport nomi va siz foydalanadigan terminal nomi siz uchun tayyorlangan marshrutda batafsil ko'rsatilishi kerak. aviakompaniya yoki sayyohlik agentligi.

Taksi haydovchisidan sizni aeroportga olib borishni so'raganda, shunchaki shahar nomini va keyin aeroport so'zini (masalan, London aeroporti) eslatib o'tirmang, aeroport va terminal nomi (masalan, Xitrou aeroporti, 5-terminal). Aviakompaniya bir nechta terminallardan, ayniqsa, ichki va xalqaro reyslarga ega bo'lsa, ishlay olishi mumkin, shuning uchun taksichiga ma'lum bir aviakompaniya ishlaydigan terminalga borishni xohlashingiz etarli bo'lmasligi mumkin.

Agar siz aeroport limuzinini yoki transport xizmatini so'rasangiz, parvoz raqamini berish odatda barcha operatorlarga kerak bo'ladi, chunki qaysi aviakompaniyalar qaysi terminaldan uchishini bilishadi.

Agar siz aeroportingizga etib borish uchun temir yo'l xizmatidan foydalansangiz, xuddi shu ehtiyot choralari qo'llaniladi. Ba'zi aeroportlarda shunday bir qator terminallar mavjudki, metro liniyalari, metrolar yoki temir yo'llar bir nechta stantsiyaga ega bo'lishi mumkin.

Siz parvozingizdan oldin aeroportlarga etib borishingiz kerak, chunki bortga chiqishdan oldin bajarishingiz kerak bo'lgan bir qator protseduralar mavjud: ro'yxatdan o'tish, xavfsizlikni tekshirish va ehtimol immigratsiya nazorati. Odatda aviakompaniyalarda parvoz holatini ko'rsatuvchi uchish taxtalari (displeylari) bo'ladi. Vaziyatning eng muhim ko'rsatkichlari Bortga chiqish yoki Darvozaga boring, bu sizning ro'yxatdan o'tishingizni zudlik bilan tugatishingiz va xavfsizlik tekshiruvidan o'tishingiz kerakligini ko'rsatadigan belgi va Yakuniy qo'ng'iroq yoki Oxirgi qo `ng` iroq, bu siz parvozga imkon qadar tezroq kirishingiz kerakligini anglatadi.

Atrofga boring

Katta aeroportlarda yo'lovchilarga tez-tez kerak bo'ladi yurish sezilarli masofalar. Agar sizda harakatlanish nogironligi bo'lsa, a buyurtma berish haqida o'ylashingiz kerak nogironlar aravachasi.

Ko'p terminalli aeroportlar amaliy ravishda yurib bo'lmaydigan bo'lishi mumkin, ammo ko'plab zamonaviy aeroportlar turli terminallarda o'zlarining bog'lanish reyslariga etib borishlari kerak bo'lgan sayohatchilar uchun avtomatlashtirilgan odamlarni ko'chiruvchilarni qurishgan. Shuningdek, terminallar o'rtasida avtobuslar ham bo'lishi mumkin. Ikkala holatda ham, ularga kirish imkoniyati quruqlikda (xavfsizlikni ta'minlashdan oldin) yoki havo tomonida (xavfsizlik xizmatidan o'tgandan keyin) bo'lishi mumkin va aeroportlar o'rtasida farq qilishi mumkin - qanday variantlaringiz borligini va ular qaerda joylashganligini tekshiring.

Belgilanish

Belgilanish ilgari bir vaqtning o'zida bajariladigan, lekin endi alohida bajarilishi mumkin bo'lgan uchta asosiy qismdan iborat:

1. Haqiqiy ro'yxatdan o'tish, ya'ni aviakompaniyaga sizning bron qilingan reysga borishingizni va aviakompaniya sizning kelishingizni kutishi kerakligini tasdiqlaydi ... va ehtimol darvozaga o'z vaqtida kelmasligingiz uchun sizni qidirib toping (aniq aviakompaniya qoidalariga qarab). )
2. O'zingizning yukingizni samolyot yukxonasiga olib borishda erga xizmat ko'rsatuvchi xodimlarga topshirish (uni tekshirish), u sizning chipta olgan joyingiz uchun belgilab qo'yadi va uni parvarish qiladi.
3. Sizni davom ettirish uchun samolyotga chiqish chiptasini olish

Kirish

Kirish vaqti Braziliyaaeroport

O'zingizning aviakompaniyangiz bilan maslahatlashing - tobora ko'proq pul to'lashingiz kerak bo'ladi - agar siz oldindan onlayn ro'yxatdan o'tmagan bo'lsangiz. Qachon va iloji bo'lsa, onlayn ravishda ro'yxatdan o'tishning boshqa afzalliklari ham bor, masalan, sizga tez-tez yaxshi joylar berish va ortiqcha reyslarda "pog'onaga tushmaslik" ehtimoli.

An'anaviy ro'yxatdan o'tish

Aeroportda qilishingiz kerak bo'lgan birinchi narsa - parvozni tekshirish. Bu sizning aviakompaniyangiz yoki parvozingiz uchun ajratilgan ro'yxatdan o'tish stoliga o'tishni talab qiladi. Pasportingizni yoki boshqa fotosurat guvohnomangizni (Evropada milliy guvohnoma yoki Shimoliy Amerikada haydovchilik guvohnomasi) va agar so'ralsa, chiptangizni tasdiqlovchi hujjatni taqdim eting, aviakompaniya xodimlariga sizning reysingiz belgilangan ro'yxatdan o'tish punktida yoki umumiy ro'yxatdan o'tishda, sizning aviakompaniyangizga bog'liq. Shuningdek, vizangizni xodimlarga ko'rsatishingiz kerak, agar bu sizning boradigan joyingiz uchun zarur bo'lsa.

Ba'zi aviakompaniyalarda siz aviakompaniyani taqdim etishingiz kerak bo'ladi original chiptani to'g'ridan-to'g'ri aviakompaniya veb-saytidan sotib olgan bo'lsangiz, chiptangizni bron qilish uchun ishlatilgan kredit karta (masalan, EVA Air, Korean Air) (va shaklni imzolashingiz mumkin). O'zingizning chiptangizni sotib olganingizda aviakompaniya sizga to'lov to'g'risida oldin xabar berishi kerak. Ushbu shart sizning chiptangizda ham qayd etilgan. Agar siz kartani taqdim eta olmasangiz, to'lov uchun ishlatilgan kartaning asl nusxasi qaytariladi va sizdan yana to'lash talab qilinadi.

Ro‘yxatdan o‘tish bilan tashuvchining shaxsiy xizmat xodimlari yoki ularning vakili bo‘lgan uchinchi shaxslar murojaat qilishadi. Agar tekshirish uchun yuklaringiz bo'lsa, ular sizning ismingiz va "belgilangan manzil" yozilgan teglarni chop etishadi va yuklarni samolyotingizga olib borish uchun olib borishda qo'llashadi. Shuningdek, ular nafaqat samolyotga chiqish, balki xavfsizlik yo'li bilan parvoz qilish uchun kerak bo'lgan samolyotga chiqish yo'lovchilarini ishlab chiqarishadi. Quyida muhokama qilinganidek, yaxshi jihozlangan ro'yxatdan o'tish joylari liniyalar boshlanishidan oldin avtomatlashtirilgan kioskalarga ega bo'lishi mumkin. Ular sizning yo'lovchilarga mo'ljallangan yo'lovchilar uchun yo'lovchi tashish varaqalari va yuk belgilarini ishlab chiqarishni boshlashi mumkin. Xodimlar ulardan foydalanishda sizga yordam beradi.

Odatda sizga kerak bo'ladi navbat ro'yxatdan o'tishdan oldin: juda to'liq reyslarda va juda band bo'lgan kunlarda bu bir soatdan ko'proq vaqt talab qilishi mumkin, ayniqsa xalqaro reyslar uchun. Odatda biznes-klassdagi yo'lovchilar, aviakompaniyaning tez-tez uchib yurish dasturining yuqori darajadagi a'zolari (masalan, kumush, oltin) va ba'zan masofaviy usullar bilan ro'yxatdan o'tganlar uchun alohida va juda qisqa, ro'yxatdan o'tish yo'llari mavjud (masalan, onlayn ro'yxatdan o'tish) ichida). Agar navbat uzoq bo'lsa va sizning reysingiz bir soat ichida jo'nab ketsa, sizning parvozingiz holati allaqachon "Darvozaga o'tish" ni ko'rsatmoqda yoki siz chiptani ro'yxatdan o'tkazish muddatiga yaqinlashayotgan bo'lsangiz, aeroport xodimlariga xabar bering, chunki ular sizga tez-tez borishga ruxsat berishadi navbatning old tomoniga va darhol ro'yxatdan o'ting. Ba'zan ular yo'lovchilarni o'zlarini tanib olishlari uchun yaqinlashadigan reysni so'rashadi, shunda ular darhol ularni tekshirishlari mumkin; ba'zan ular so'ramaydilar. Chegirmali aviakompaniyalar belgilangan muddatlarda eng qat'iy tekshiruvdan o'tishadi va ba'zilari belgilangan muddatdan keyin ro'yxatdan o'tishga ruxsat bermaydilar, hatto agar siz o'z vaqtida navbat oxiriga etgan bo'lsangiz ham.

Agar siz qo'lda ro'yxatdan o'tishingiz kerak bo'lsa, uzoqroq navbatga tayyor bo'ling. Hisoblagichga borishdan oldin hujjatlaringizni tayyorlang. Agar ro'yxatdan o'tishning boshqa usullari mavjud bo'lsa, sizda maxsus so'rovlar bo'lmasa, an'anaviy ro'yxatdan o'tish hisoblagichlarini ishlatishdan saqlaning. Ba'zi aviatashuvchilar an'anaviy ro'yxatdan o'tish hisoblagichlaridan foydalanganliklari uchun allaqachon haq olishadi.

Aeroportda avtomatlashtirilgan ro'yxatdan o'tish

Firenze aeroportida Alitalia-ning avtomatlashtirilgan ro'yxatdan o'tish kioskalari

Ko'p sonli aviakompaniyalar "a" ni amalga oshirmoqdalar o'z-o'zini tekshirish ba'zi aeroportlarda tizim. Ko'pgina hollarda, ushbu parametr ro'yxatdan o'tish sumkalari bo'lgan yoki bo'lmagan yo'lovchilar uchun mavjud. Xususan, Evropada bu yo'lovchilar (ayniqsa, iqtisod bilan sayohat qiluvchilar) uchun ro'yxatdan o'tishning yagona usullaridan biri hisoblanadi (chunki ular xizmat ko'rsatish punktlari) "qabul qilish punktlari" tobora ko'payib bormoqda. Ushbu tizimlar kichik kioskalarni o'z ichiga oladi, unda siz o'zingizning buyurtma ma'lumotnomangizni kiritishingiz, suzib o'tishingiz yoki bron qilish uchun foydalanilgan kredit kartangizni kiritishingiz yoki tez-tez uchib boradigan kartangizni (magnit chiziqli bo'lsa) kiritishingiz va yozuvingizga kirishingiz va samolyotga chiqishingiz mumkin. siz va sayohatingiz uchun o'tish. Siz ro'yxatdan o'tayotganda joyingizni almashtirish imkoniyatiga ega bo'lishingiz mumkin; xususan, ko'plab aviakompaniyalar parvoz kunigacha chiqish qatorlarini ochmaydilar.

Ba'zi bir avtoulovlarning o'z-o'ziga xizmat ko'rsatadigan kioskalari kengaytirilgan bo'lib, yo'lovchilar o'zlarining bagajlarini ro'yxatdan o'tkazishga imkon beradigan xususiyatlarni o'z ichiga olgan. Sizga sumkangizni qanday tortish va yorliq qo'yish bo'yicha monitorda batafsil ko'rsatmalar beriladi. Yopishtiruvchi yorliqni ko'rsatilganidek tuzatganingizga ishonch hosil qiling va uning bo'shashmasligini tekshiring. Ba'zi yorliqlarda qo'shimcha shtrix-stikerlar mavjud, ularni echib, sumkangizning boshqa qismiga yopishtirishingiz mumkin. Agar asosiy yorliq yirtilib ketsa, sumkani skanerlash mumkin.

Agar siz kiosk yoki Internet orqali ro'yxatdan o'tgan bo'lsangiz, aviakompaniya odatda siz uchun maxsus qatnovni taqdim etadi, bu erda ro'yxatdan o'tishning qolgan qismi tezlashadi. Ushbu hisoblagichda, iltimos, sizga berilgan va / yoki so'ralgan ma'lumotlar va hujjatlarni taqdim eting. Ba'zi bir avtoulovlar o'zlarini tekshirishdan foydalangan yo'lovchilardan belgilangan ro'yxatdan o'tish peshtaxtalariga o'tishni talab qilishadi, hatto ularning kirish sumkalari bo'lmasa ham.

Elektron ro'yxatdan o'tish faqat odatiy hollarda mumkin; agar zarur hujjat tekshiruvlari (masalan, viza), maxsus ehtiyojlar yoki chiptalarga mos kelmasa (masalan, nomlarning mos kelmasligi) bo'lsa, faqat peshtaxtada qo'lda ro'yxatdan o'tish mumkin.

Yuk

Yukni tushirish

Ba'zi aeroportlarda chekka chegarada ro'yxatdan o'tish amalga oshiriladi, bu sizning yukxalta terminaliga kirishdan oldin ro'yxatdan o'tishga imkon beradi. Ular odatda AQShning ichki reyslarida mavjud bo'lib, ular ichkaridagi standart ro'yxatga olish punktlari bajaradigan ishlarni bajaradilar, faqat ular sizga samolyotga chiqish chiptalarini berishmaydi. Agar ularni onlayn ro'yxatdan o'tkazishda amalga oshirmagan bo'lsangiz, ularni ichkaridan olishingiz kerak bo'ladi. Chet elda ro'yxatdan o'tish bugungi kunda yuk tashuvchi yoki yuk tashuvchi shaxs tomonidan ba'zida ustama to'lov uchun ustuvor ustama to'lovlari evaziga yuk tashuvchi tomonidan olinadigan haq evaziga amalga oshiriladi. Bundan tashqari, xodimlar uchun maslahatlar kutilmoqda.

Sizning yukxalta ishlov berilgandan so'ng, ro'yxatdan o'tish xizmati xodimlari shtrix kodli bagaj yorlig'ini chop etishadi; uning uzun qismi yukingizga, qisqaroq qismi sizga beriladi. Bir necha holatda, qisqaroq qismi termal kvitansiyaga o'xshash bo'lishi mumkin. Buni saqlang, chunki etib kelganingizdan so'ng, ba'zi aeroportlarda yo'lovchilar yuklarni olib o'tayotgan shaxs haqiqatan ham egasi ekanligiga ishonch hosil qilish uchun ularni o'zlarining bagajlari bilan birga taqdim etishni talab qilishi mumkin. Ushbu bagaj teglari, shuningdek, sizning ro'yxatdan o'tgan bagajingizning bir qismi yo'qolgan deb hisoblasangiz yoki boshqa bagajga o'xshash bo'lsa, foydalidir. Chipta agenti sizning yaqinlashib kelayotgan parvozingiz uchun yangi yuk yorliqlarini joylashtirishdan oldin, ishonch hosil qiling:

• Siz eski aviakompaniya teglarini olib tashladingiz.
• Sizning yangi teglaringiz aeroportni aks ettiradi, quyida tekshirilgan.

Agar bir kunlik sayohatingiz bir nechta reyslarni o'z ichiga olsa, siz yukingizni olishni so'rashingiz mumkin tekshirilgan. Tekshiruv - bu sizning bagajingiz sayohatingizning so'nggi qismigacha to'liq belgilanadi va aksariyat hollarda siz o'zingizning oraliq to'xtash joylarida (ayniqsa, xalqaro-xalqaro yoki ichki-reyslar uchun) o'zingizning bagajingizni talab qilishingiz shart emas. to'liq xizmat ko'rsatuvchi tashuvchilarda; xalqaro-mahalliy aloqalarga taalluqli emas). Siz ro'yxatdan o'tgan xodimlarga ma'lum bir sayohat uchun hisobga olinadigan parvozlar to'g'risida xabar berishingiz kerak, chunki ular sizning xohishingizga binoan deb o'ylay olmaydilar. Biroq, tekshiruvdan o'tish har doim emas mumkin bo'lsa, ro'yxatdan o'tish xodimlarini so'raganingizga ishonch hosil qiling. Siz quyida joylashgan "Ulanishni o'rnatish" bo'limini tekshirishingiz mumkin va tekshiruvning qachon amalga oshirilishi mumkin emasligi yoki mumkin emasligi haqida qo'shimcha ma'lumot olish uchun tegishli transport kompaniyalariga murojaat qilishingiz tavsiya etiladi.

Ortiqcha yuk

Agar siz bagajni ruxsat etilgan miqdordan ko'proq olib ketayotganingizni aniqlasangiz, aviakompaniya bilan ushbu transport vositasining eng arzon usulini bilib oling. Ba'zida bagaj uchun qo'shimcha to'lovlarni oldindan sotib olish mumkin, ayniqsa, chegirmalar berilishi mumkin bo'lgan Internetda. Agar ortiqcha vazn aeroportda aniqlansa, oldindan buyurtma qilingan va oldindan sotib olingandan ko'ra ortiqcha yuklar uchun to'lovlar og'irroq bo'ladi.

Ko'pgina aviakompaniyalar yo'lovchilarga chegirmali yuk stavkalarini taklif qilishadi, ammo bu jo'nashdan oldin belgilanishi kerak va yuk sifatida jo'natmoqchi bo'lgan tovarlarning yo'nalishi sizning chiptangizdagi manzilga to'g'ri kelishi kerak. Siz o'zingizning ortiqcha sumkangizni yuk terminaliga etkazib berishingiz kerak bo'ladi, va siz boj va boshqa to'lovlarni olishingiz mumkin.

Pochta xizmatlari yoki dengiz orqali yuk tashish bo'lishi mumkin ko'p havo yuklari yoki ortiqcha yuk uchun to'lovlardan arzonroq. Ammo stavkalarni yaxshilab tekshirib ko'ring. Sizga kerak bo'lmagan paytda biron bir yukni uyga qaytarishning yaxshi usuli yoki hatto uzoqroq sayohat uchun biron bir yukni jo'natishingiz mumkin. Biroq, bunday xizmatlarning ishonchliligi va etkazib berish muddatlari to'g'risida ma'lumot olish uchun mamlakatning alohida ro'yxatiga qarang.

Bagajni etkazib berish xizmatlari alternativani taqdim etadi. Bagaj ma'lum bir sanaga qadar, odatda 48 soatdan 5 kungacha, siz ko'rsatgan manzilga uyma-uy xizmat ko'rsatib beriladi. Belgilangan yuklarni tashlab yuborishdan yoki olib ketishdan oldin yoki keyin yuk terminaliga borishingiz shart emas. Barcha hujjatlar sizga taqdim etiladi va bojxona protseduralari boshqariladi. Narx aviakompaniya yuklarining narxlaridan arzonroq, ammo baribir qimmat.

Agar sizning bagajingiz ko'p bo'lsa, uchib ketadigan biznes-klass yoki hatto birinchi toifani ko'rib chiqing. Mahalliy chiptalar bundan qimmatga tushmasligi mumkin. Xalqaro parvozlar ancha qimmatga tushadi va tavsiya etilmasligi mumkin. Ko'pgina aviakompaniyalarda ushbu o'rindiqlar sinflari sizga bagaj uchun ko'proq mablag 'olish imkoniyatini beradi.

Katta hajmli yoki maxsus yuk

Oddiy yuklarning o'lchamlari cheklangan, lekin odatda katta hajmli yuklarni olib kelish mumkin. Bu velosiped yoki golf sumkalari kabi sport anjomlarini o'z ichiga olishi mumkin. Bu qo'shimcha xarajatlarni talab qiladi va sayohatning barcha oyoqlari uchun oldindan yozib qo'yilishi kerak. Aviakompaniya, agar joy bo'lmasa, bron qilinmagan maxsus yuklarni rad etishi mumkin. Uni aeroportga tushirish uchun qo'shimcha vaqt bering. Odatda kichik bolalarni bron qilayotganda, yo'lovchilar uchun aravachani / aravachani parvozga qo'shimcha to'lovsiz tekshirishga ruxsat beriladi.

Xavfsizlikni tekshirish

Xavfsizlikni tekshirish

Shuningdek qarang: Chegaradan o'tish # Bortga chiqish, Samolyot bilan kelish # Immigratsiya va bojxona

Aviatsiya xavfsizligi hech qanday kulgi emas. Xavfsizlik qoidalari qat'iy va aeroport xavfsizlik xodimlari ularni amalga oshirishda juda qat'iydir. Ushbu tekshirish quruqlik va havo tomoni o'rtasida amalga oshiriladi.

Ba'zi mamlakatlarda xalqaro reysga chiqishdan oldin siz nafaqat xavfsizlik tekshiruvidan o'tishingizni, balki bojxona va immigratsiya tekshiruvidan o'tishingizni talab qilishi mumkin.

Yon atrofdagi xavfsizlik

Xavfsizlikka bo'lgan ehtiyoj yuqori bo'lgan aeroportlar (masalan Ben Gurion xalqaro aeroporti yilda Isroil) dastlabki tekshiruv punktlari bo'lishi mumkin; aeroportga boradigan yo'lda yoki bino kirish qismida. Xodimlar hujjatlar va / yoki sayohatchilar va ularning yuklarini skanerlashni talab qilishlari mumkin.

Xalqaro aeroportlar odatda yuqori darajadagi kuzatuvga ega, bu esa tashrif buyuruvchilarning shaxsiy hayoti evaziga jinoyatchilik, noqonuniy immigratsiya va kontrabandani oldini olish uchun mavjud. Aeroportlarda va atrofda xodimlar qarovsiz yuk, qaroqchilar va mastlik holatlariga qarshi fuqarolik joylariga qaraganda qattiqroq usullarni qo'llashlari mumkin. The civil rights implications of all this - and whether any given "security" measure actually works are sometimes subject of public debate. Plenty of time margins, papers in order and good behavior are the best methods to deal with excessive security measures.

The process

You'll usually check any luggage with the airline at the ticket counter. It will be at least electronically screened for security as it goes to a holding area to be loaded on your flight.

Then, as you walk to your gate, you and your carry-ons must go through personal security screening. It involves the following basic steps (varying based on individual countries' policies and on whether the flight is domestic or international).

• You must present identification (perhaps except for toddlers) and boarding passes for your flight. Keep your ID and boarding passes with you throughout the process.
• You may be instructed to:
  • Remove bulky outer garments (e.g., sweaters, jackets) and/or your shoes... and place them in a bin/tub going through separate electronic scanning or manual inspection.
  • Place all carry-on bags, purses, laptops and the clear bag of liquids in tubs/bins on the line for separate scanning. Depending on the country and the airport, items such as laptops, other electronics, umbrellas, chargers, and liquids may have to be placed separately. Put the clear bag of liquids on top where it can be easily seen and inspected.
    • This is your last opportunity to avoid delays, by placing all metal or electronic items (e.g., cell phones, coins, keys) into a bin/tub. At airports that use backscatter X-ray machines, you'll need to remove everything from your pockets, metal or not.
  • Proceed to a nearby point for body screening: electronic, X-ray, and/or manual. Any metal object will generate an alarm. You'll be directed to return to the carry-on scanning line and place "offending" items in a bin/tub for separate screening. If this happens, be careful not to leave them behind when grabbing your bags!

In general, you will not be allowed to carry any sharp objects (eg. knives, scissors, razor blades), firearms, or other possible weapons (hammers, golf clubs, baseball bats) onto a flight, and these items must be put in your check-in baggage. There is also a restriction on the amount of liquids, aerosols and gels that you may carry for flights in the United States and European Union, as well as all international flights. For flights to the United States or Australia, you may only purchase duty free liquids (e.g. liquor, perfume) at the stop before your final leg. In other words, if you have any stopovers, you should not purchase duty free items at the beginning of your journey, and should only do so at your final stopover.

If you have any kind of metal in your body for any reason (e.g., pace-maker, artificial joint, combat wound), be prepared for the alarms as you go through body scanning. Your doctor may help you obtain some form of proof for TSA or other security inspectors. This may avoid an unnecessarily invasive pat-down.

After body screening, you may be told to go with a screener to hand inspect your belongings - usually because electronic screening cannot identify an object. You may be subject to a more rigorous security check. Depending on the country and airport, this can be random or based on some suspicion. It can involve luggage search, swabs for explosive chemical traces and/or personal body searches. Officers may offer an information sheet explaining your rights, but the chance of your reaching your plane without submitting to the check is low.

Otherwise, go to the end of the conveyor which takes your luggage out of the screening machine, claim your possessions and proceed into the "airside" terminal.

As you are going through this procedure, try to have someone you know keep all belongings in-view to avoid loss if someone else picks up a wrong item or tries to steal yours. Security personnel are focused on keeping the terminal area secure. They don't know what's yours versus others, so won't notice if someone "lifts" your bag (or something in it) or loose belongings.

Depending on the country, taking prohibited items to the security checkpoint even by accident may be considered an offense, and the items concerned are not just subject to confiscation. UK airports may limit their gate security scans to one item per person but with little regard for its size limits; you may need a large, soft bag to hold all carry-on items just for that check; find out before you begin your trip.

Based on perceived threats or improving technologies, details about what's allowed and procedures for scanning may change - just follow instructions. Some security levels, airlines, or flights going to certain regions, may require additional screening at your gate as you board - usually manual.

According to the letter of the law the limit on liquids can be avoided by freezing. You can try it with a low value liquid and some people have reported getting stuff through security that way that would've been disallowed in the liquid state. Some security personnel even take it in good humor and it might brighten an otherwise dull day. However, when the liquid is even partially molten, they can and might point out it's a liquid now and not admit it on the flight. ICAO regulations also allow passengers to carry up to 2.5 kg of dry ice in either their hand or checked luggage (provided it's labeled properly) which you might employ to keep frozen stuff frozen. Maybe get that pint of ice-cream home after all?

How to avoid unnecessary delays

To avoid delays or stoppages at the screening:

• Don't wear hiking boots or shoes with large metal loops or steel plates in the soles.
• Choose footwear that's easy to slip on and off; wear socks to avoid dirt/organisms on the floor.
• Avoid wearing or carrying unneeded items you'll have to remove before inspection.
• Avoid wearing metal objects, like a belt-buckle or use ones that are easy to take off.
• Put small metal and electronic items in external garment pockets or hand-carried luggage (so that you do not have to perform extra moves to take them off you)
• Remove items that create bulges from trouser/pant pockets - just an unnecessary way to generate inspector questions.
• You may be required to show that any electronic device functions. Make sure their batteries are charged and inserted for a brief demonstration.
• Join a queue with what looks like experienced travellers. They probably know the ins and out and prepared accordingly, which can make the process proceed much faster than usual.

Golden rules

• Always keep your luggage with you until you've checked your large pieces, then carry-ons before and after personal security check. Security officials take unattended items very seriously. If one is found and the owner is not within reach to claim it, it may trigger an alert, resulting in the affected area being "locked-down", and inspection of the suspicious piece of luggage by experts. The result will be serious inconvenience for a lot of people, and for you perhaps fines or the loss of your property (it may even be destroyed).
• Never make jokes about bombs, weapons, or other security threats. There is no room for humor on this topic; rather than relying on their individual subjective judgement, security personnel are required to take any such joke as a serious statement. You will be checked more thoroughly and/or escorted off the premises in some cases. Jokes may even be treated as a criminal offense, with charges filed against you, leading to fines and/or imprisonment.
• Make sure you leave enough time for security checks - it is your responsibility to make it through them in time to get to your boarding gate before it closes. Most airlines and airports advise how much time in advance you should arrive to be on the safe side. When you believe you may be running late anyway, make sure to indicate to the airport staff that your gate closes shortly - in some cases you may find them willing to arrange for expedited security check for you not to miss your flight. That said, all the speeding up they can do is pretty much allow you to jump the queue - the check itself cannot be sped up, and if you or your luggage are found to require extra inspection, it will proceed as usual regardless of your flight time.

Express or expedited security lanes

To avoid the delays associated with normal security checks, some airports offer express security lanes for frequent travellers who have pre-registered, or sometimes for passengers who have paid an additional fee. In cases of heightened security, the expedited security check lanes may be suspended or closed.

Subsequent security checks

Flying to certain destinations can involve more security checks. They may be induced because:

• You must change planes en route, and the change forces you to leave the secure air side area, e.g. if you must change terminals or the country doesn't allow sterile transit.
• A country you will travel to or through mandates its own security checks or standards higher than the one most other travellers go through at the departure airport - even complete arrival and departure immigration and customs processing, e.g., Japan, the US.
• Your flight or your ticket was selected (randomly or otherwise) for additional screening.

Sometimes this means going through security a second time at the gate when you're about to board. If there's a chance you may have to go through security a second time, be careful about buying water or other liquids airside, as they might just be confiscated again.

Waiting

After you pass through security you'll usually be able to reach one or more departure areas or wings of the terminal. Beyond security, you are in the secure area (finally!), sometimes termed airside. If you leave the airside area, you will have to go through security processing again. Lacking any essential papers, you may be in some difficulty, and in international airside areas this may not be permitted at all.

Depending on the airport, the airside area can be as innocuous as a bus station, or a mega-shopping mall full of shopping and entertainment with up to a hundred gates. Qarang Duty-free shopping for some of the possibilities.

As most airlines prohibit tobacco smoking on board, some airports have designated smoking rooms, for a last chance to light up.

If your schedule means you'll spend some time there, go to your departure airport's website before leaving home to learn which facilities and services you'll have while waiting to board, as well as how to get around the airport. At a minimum you may want to know if you can get that coffee and sandwich airside, or if you should eat before going through security. Also take care about what you eat and drink before boarding. Examples: Some foods and liquids can make you flatulent at altitude (e.g., beans, carbonated drinks), some can give you bad breath (e.g., garlic), and alcohol can dehydrate you.

Most airports will have restaurants or at least a convenience store airside and may or may not have other options landside. These are all but certain to be extremely overpriced, especially airside, so budget travellers tend to bring food with them instead.

Lounge access

See also: Lounges

Major airports also offer lounges, that offer extra facilities (comfortable seating, food, drinks, computers, TV, magazines, showers, etc.) for some customers. If you have free or included access and substantial time, you should head straight there rather that waiting at the gate. Lounges are usually found airside, however, occasionally lounges may be found before security check. If landside, be sure to end your stay there in plenty of time to go through your security check and reach your gate.

You may have access if:

• If you are a first or business class passenger, except for US domestic flights.
• An elite member of a frequent flyer program, except for elite members of US frequent flyer programs on US domestic flights.
• Are a yearly member of an airline club
• You are a member of a prepaid program like PriorityPass, which offer pay-per-visit and unlimited visit plans on-line... usually for independent lounges.
• You have a premium credit card like Visa Infinite or American Express Platinum, or you have a priority or private baking account with a large bank. This can either be indirectly through complementary membership in prepaid programs like PriorityPass, or through lounges operated by those financial entities like the American Express Centurion Lounge in various airports around the world or the DBS Asia Treasures Lounge in Singapore Changi Airport.

If you don't have access for these reasons, some airlines and independent providers allow one-day lounge entry for a fee.

Internet access

Most airports provide some kind of Internet access for visitors. Although most airports offer some form of free access, some of them offer paid access at the same time. A couple of tips to make sure you can take advantage of what is on offer:

• For airports that simultaneously offer free and paid access, the former will typically come with more restrictions. For instance, the speeds will be slower than if you use the latter option, some websites may be rendered inaccessible or inoperable, and you may only be able to enjoy it for a limited amount of time. For the latter, the price depends on how long you intend to use it or how much data you want to use. If you subscribe to services such as Boingo, premium internet may be included in your plan; check with your service provider for more information.
• If using mobile phone (set for use at home), ensure it's activated, even if you don't intend to use it. You may need to receive an SMS with your details for access, or information on cancellations and rerouting.
• Internet usage might be very expensive abroad (up to US$10/MB=$10,000/GB) considering the often high data consumption of modern smart phones. Deactivate data roaming or remove your home SIM card if you don't want to pay this. Alternatively, you can buy a prepaid/pay-as-you-go SIM card at the airport at the arrivals hall. Some providers also allow you to book a mobile hotspot in advance for a fee and claim/return it at a designated counter at the airport. See Wikivoyage's Internet access article for more information and security issues.
• Even if there is no free Wi-Fi generally available in the terminal, there may still be a signal to be found. Particularly check areas adjacent to lounges, or in food courts or coffee shops.
• Airport lounges provide their own complimentary internet access to guests in addition to what the airport offers. These may be faster than the airport's but will often require a password.

Preparing to board

Your flight will have an associated gate number where you'll board. This is indicated in your boarding pass and the overhead monitors.

• Find the gate where you are boarding: be there no later than 30 minutes before the flight's scheduled departure, and preferably a little earlier. Even if you have a few hours before your connecting flight, it's always a good idea to go straight to the gate in order to familiarize yourself with the area and ensure you're never more than a few minutes away in case you lose track of time.
• At the gate, airline staff will check your boarding pass just as you board, or perhaps earlier; they may also want to see photo ID. Once done, you will be counted as being on board the flight.

While waiting, ensure you miss no change or announcement about your flight, e.g., gate change, delayed departure. This includes checking the overhead monitors since many airports don't widely announce when a flight has a gate change or it's about time to board. If you miss your flight by not heeding changes, you will be responsible for making other travel arrangements, and for paying a "no-show" fee before being allowed to travel with that carrier again.

Boarding

The order of boarding may be specified by the gate attendant, often:

1. Passengers in First class
2. Passengers with special needs (such as physically handicapped, elderly and those with young children)
3. Passengers in Business Class and those passengers holding top tier cards of an airline alliance's Frequent Flyer program
4. All other passengers. For large aircraft, you may be assigned a "group" seating designation intended to organize overall boarding.

Some budget airlines (that do not assign seating) board passengers who have paid extra for priority boarding first.

For larger aircraft with allocated seating, boarding is requested by group or row number. This may allow those furthest away from the boarding doors to board first so the aisles don't get constricted. Enforcement of this is lax, and many times the aisles become overcrowded. Regardless of the boarding order given, you are always free to remain in the boarding lounge until the final call for the plane. If you choose to spend the least time possible in a cramped aircraft cabin, just wait in the boarding lounge until you see the last person at the gate, then promptly join the end of the queue. Remember:

• The boarding gates close 10–20 minutes before departure (sometimes more) and you'll likely hear no announcements to that effect outside the gate area.
• The last boarders (especially in economy class) may find all overhead luggage space full. Any carry-ons that cannot fit underneath the seat in front of you may have to be checked with any valuables they have inside.

Most airlines will attempt to find passengers who are late for boarding, because for security reasons they have to go through the time consuming process of unloading their checked baggage if they do not board. Usually they will page late passengers by name at least twice before closing the flight. If you hear your name paged, either go to the gate immediately if it's nearby or find airport staff and let them know who you are if you are not yet close to the gate. They can usually get you there before you're locked out of the plane. However, delaying a flight will not make you popular with staff or fellow passengers. Once they have made the decision to offload your bags, no amount of pleading will usually get you on that plane given that it costs the airline a lot of money to decide to delay a flight and it can take hours to find another available departure slot, hence causing chaos to the aircraft's flight schedule for the day.

The gate

There are three main kinds of boarding.

• Tarmac walk. Most common at small airports and for low-cost carriers. Passengers walk across the tarmac to the plane, exposed to weather.
• Jet bridge. Most common at large airports. A jet bridge (which in best case is sealed from outdoor air) takes the passengers directly from the terminal to the plane.
• Bus transfer. Most commonly used during peak hours at crowded airports but also used often for low-cost carriers. Passengers get on a bus, which takes them to the plane. In this case, passengers need to be at the gate in advance; as long as 30 minutes before departure.
