So far, we’ve learned some useful Chinese air travel vocabulary<\/a>, as well as how to buy a plane ticket in Chinese<\/a>. Now that you’ve got your ticket and some important words\/phrases down, it’s time to head to the airport. Today we’ll learn how to get a cab, check in for your flight, find your gate,\u00a0and more in this Chinese lesson – at the airport.<\/p>\n

Getting to the Airport<\/h2>\n

First up, you’ll need to get yourself to the airport. In most Chinese cities, it’s possible to get to the airport on the subway or by public bus. It doesn’t require a whole lot of Chinese to buy a bus\/subway ticket, though, so here’s a sample conversation of catching a cab to the airport:<\/p>\n

Boarding Your Flight<\/h2>\n

Once you’ve made it through security and found your gate, hopefully you’ve got a few minutes to sit down and relax. That is, if you can find a seat. Chinese airports tend to be busy and crowded. You’ll want to listen for an announcement for when your flight is boarding. It might be something like:<\/p>\n

\u822a\u73ed\u53f7CA1231\u6b63\u5728\u767b\u673a
\nh\u00e1ng b\u0101n h\u00e0o CA1231 zh\u00e8ng z\u00e0i d\u0113ng j\u012b
\nFlight Number CA1231 is now boarding.<\/h3>\n

Flying is hard work, isn’t it? Especially in another language. The next post in the series will be all about the flight – finding your seat, ordering food\/drinks, asking for things like an extra pillow and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"Chinese
