The airport is ... What do you need to know when going on vacation?

Leaving for rest, we tend to think about our stay at the resort: to which hotel to stay, what excursions to sign up and on what streets and sights to walk. All this we always know in advance, although sometimes things go a little differently. Nevertheless, the airport is not the first step. Rest begins much earlier, and to think up trivia it is necessary not only on an arrival on a resort. Aerodromes and airports deserve no less careful study than tourist routes. Today we will talk about useful trivia, which will help not to get lost in the huge halls.

Purchase a ticket

Airports of Moscow are the largest in our country. Every day they receive and send a huge number of passengers. The airport is, undoubtedly, the very beginning of the holiday. But all is planned long before arrival there - from a choice of a resort and purchase of the ticket. Today you can buy a travel document in a variety of ways:

• Buying a ready tour in a travel agency, which in this case is engaged in the design of tickets;
• Purchase on the airline's website;
• Purchase tickets at special sites, where various directions and carriers are represented;
• Finally, you can buy a ticket in the old way at the ticket office or directly at the airport.

If you decide to independently handle the preparation and purchase of tickets, then as closely as possible, check all the data of the passport and destination. Remember that it is necessary to issue travel documents for a flight around the country with a Russian passport, and when you go abroad, you will need a passport.

Despite the fact that the itinerary receipt is not required for boarding, it is still recommended to print it out and bring it to the airport. This is very important for quick orientation at the airport. It contains a lot of useful information that can help in finding the right terminal, and even when landing, you will have fewer problems.

Airport

Everyone knows that it is necessary to arrive at the airport in advance. It is best to be in place in 2 hours. On arrival, immediately go through check-in for the flight, find the desired terminal and then wait patiently for the plane. In addition, take into account the time of travel to the airport. If you leave late, you can easily get into the traffic jam and arrive late or end-to-end.

If you are going to Moscow airports on your car, then think about parking in advance. If you want to leave the car in the parking lot, then specify in advance all the nuances at the cost of storing the car. Often people do not read all the rules and find out that the conditions of storage of the vehicle in the first days and for a longer period are different. To the cost of parking is not more than the cost of vacation, carefully study the rules of parking.

Once you are at the airport, you need to pass security control. Bags and personal belongings should be put on the scanner tape and go through the metal detector frame. To much faster to survive the examination, it is better to transfer all personal items from pockets to a bag or backpack.

Passage of registration

The most accurate information about your departure is on the information board. Immediately it is necessary to hand over things to your luggage. With you, you leave only hand luggage. The weight of the bag, which you can take with you to the cabin, can not exceed 20 kg. The rules may differ in different airlines. The exact information is always indicated on the boarding pass.

As a rule, if you arrived in advance and quickly passed the check-in for a flight, then you have the opportunity to choose a place. We advise you to choose chairs from the aisle, or near the windows. High passengers will be most conveniently located near the emergency exit - there is much more free space.

Your ticket must include the gateway number. All the information is in the boarding pass, including the sector number in which it is located, although at some airports there is no division by sector.

Examination

This is a mandatory procedure before boarding a flight. At each airport, the inspection is different. Somewhere, it's enough to go through the metal detector frame, and somewhere it's necessary to remove the outer clothing and get all the items, and also remove the belt and clothes on which there is metal.

The rules of inspection at a particular airport are repeated periodically. In order not to miss them, carefully listen to the messages that are announced on the loudspeaker. In foreign air harbors are very often asked to get all the electronic equipment and turn it on. Some things can be banned to be imported into this or that country. Also, liquids are not allowed. An exception can only be made for medicines. When traveling abroad, it is necessary, besides examination, to pass passport control. Check the permission to cross the border and other restrictions.

Landing

If all inspections and customs are passed without problems, then you can go on boarding the plane from your exit. It should be looked for in advance, otherwise, even with a good amount of time you will have to hurry up and worry that you can not catch the flight.

Always watch the time. Not at every airport to land is invited through the loudspeaker. Sometimes it is reported only at the exit to the aircraft. Directly to the aircraft, you can go along the ladder, or to it passengers on buses are transported by ground services of the airport.

Free time

The airport is not only a waiting room for departure, but also a lot of shops and cafes. If you arrive in advance and pass all the necessary formalities, then often you can have a decent amount of time. Everyone decides where to spend it on their own. The most favorite occupation at this time is the purchase in "Duty Free". The prices there can be really attractive, but do not buy too actively, as it is not always possible to take a lot of alcohol or some goods into your luggage. There are certain restrictions on their transportation.
