Exercise3.1

ARRIVALS

PASSPORT CONTROL

If you are arriving at London Heathrow Airport and are not transferring to another flight outside Britain or Northern Ireland, you must pass through Passport Control and Customs immediately after leaving your plane. If you are not British or a citizen of the European Union, you must fill out a special form before your passport is examined. This form is called a landing card and should be given to you during the flight to London. After landing, follow the ARRIVALS Signs. Make sure you are in the right channel when you reach Passport Control. There is one channel for holders of European Community passports, and a second channel marked ‘Other Passports’.

BAGGAGE RECLAIM AREA

After passing through passport Control, follow the signs to the BAGGAGE RECLAIM AREA. If you have luggage which was carried in the aircraft hold, it shall be delivered to you in the Baggage Reclaim Area. Look for the sign with your flight numbers. If you have only hand luggage, you may go directly through the Baggage Reclaim Area to CUSTOMS.

CUSTOMS

All passengers must pass through Customs after Passport Control. There is a choice of two channels, Green and Red. If you have nothing to declare, go through the Green Channel. If you are not sure about your Duty Free allowances, or if you have something to declare, go through the Red Channel. Information about Duty Free allowances can be found on special notice - boards in the Baggage Reclaim Area. You should study this information carefully whether you are going through the Red Channel or not. Please note that if you go through the Green Channel, you may be stopped and asked to open your luggage for inspection.

TRANSFERS

Passengers transferring to flights outside Britain or Northern Ireland immediately after arriving at Heathrow do not go through the procedures described above. After leaving their plane at Heathrow, they should follow the yellow and black TRANSFERS signs to the Transfer Desk, where airport staff will direct them to their departure gates. However, if you are transferring to a flight inside Britain or Northern Ireland, you must pass through Customs and Passport Control at Heathrow and not at your final destination.

Exercise3.2.

1. If you are arriving at London Heathrow Airport...(may, can, must)

AIR TRAVEL

At the airport

Exercise 1.1

Arrange the following steps into the correct order.

Step of collecting baggage ()

Collect baggage. Once your flight lands, exit the airplane and follow signs for baggage claim. Your flight number and departure city will be on an electronic display; wait with the crowd until the conveyor belt starts moving and your bag arrives.

Step of learning the baggage requirements ()

Ensure that your luggage meets airline requirements. Most airlines allow passengers to bring one carry-on item and one personal item, such as a laptop or purse. Check the specifications for your airline by visiting its website and looking for a section about baggage. Pay attention to fees for checked bags and the weight limits, and be sure to stay within them.

Step of Buying a ticket ()

Buy a ticket. The easiest way to search multiple dates and flight times is to search for your flight ticket online. Enter in your departure city, arrival city and dates, and the engine will return a range of flights that fit your criteria. Select one to see times, connections and time between flights. When you are ready to buy a flight, click on it to select and follow the instructions. Usually, airlines will send you an email confirmation and e-ticket number; write these numbers down for reference.

Step of arriving at the airport ()

Arrive at the airport early. For your first time traveling on an airplane, allow extra time to make it through the airport and familiarize yourself with the process. To give yourself enough time, aim to arrive at least two hours before a domestic flight and three hours before an international flight.

Step of packing the baggage ()

Pack your carry-on bag carefully. In a bag you take on the plane, you are able to put liquids in 100 mL (or less) containers as long as they fit in a single, quart-sized, sealable, clear plastic bag. Agents will confiscate any liquids or gels that do not meet this policy.

Step of checking in ()

Check in at the airline desk. Follow the signs to the check-in desks, and have your photo identification ready to present to the agent. He will look up your reservation, print boarding passes and collect any baggage fees for checked bags. If you have not selected seats, you can also ask the agent for a window or aisle seat at this time. You will be asked to place your checked bags on the scale next to the desk for weighing, and they will be tagged and placed on a conveyor to be taken to the plane. Take your boarding passes and ID card from the agent.

Step of security check ()

Go through security. Follow the signs for security, and head to the line. At the security checkpoint, a security guard will ask you to show your identification and boarding pass. Once you are at the screening machines, take off your shoes and jacket and place them into a plastic bin with your clear plastic bag. If you are traveling with a laptop, place it into a separate bin, and send it down the conveyor along with your carry-on bag. Wait for an agent to wave you through the metal detector, and walk through. Get your items back.

Step of boarding the plane ()

Find your gate. Your boarding pass should have a gate number on it; if not, check the electronic displays to find your flight and gate number. Follow the signs to get to your gate, and have a seat until a gate agent calls for boarding. Airlines generally board by row, so don't approach the gate until your group is called. Find your seat by checking the numbers above each row, and put small bags under the seat in front of you and larger bags in the overhead bins.

Step of getting ID ()

Gather photo identification. If you are traveling within your home country, you will need a photo identification card, such as a driver's license. If you are flying internationally, you will need a passport, usually one that is valid for six months from the date of departure.
