Airports and travel, pt. 2 Posted by on Dec 31, 2008 in Vocabulary

Before, we looked at some terms used while traveling.  Here, let’s go into a bit more detail about some other words we can use.  When you arrive at the airport, you may have to check some of your 行李(bags), but you can still carry a 手提包 , but make sure when you pack beforehand to not pack too much, or else your 箱子(large suitcase[s]) will 超载(be overweight).  When you’re on the airplane, make sure you’ve buckled your 安全带 (seatbelt) and that you can understand the directions of the crew if you’re seated in a seat near the 紧急出口(emergency exit).  After that, the plane should be ready to 起飞(take off).  Enjoy your flight, then get ready once the plane begins to 降落 (descend).  Before long, your plane should have 着陆(landed) at your 目的地(destination).  On your way out, don’t forget to 取行李 (claim your baggage)!

手提包 shou3ti2bao1 – carryon bag
