Passage 1
Flying on a plane is a common way for many people traveling here and there. But there are some mistakes about taking a plane traveling.
Many people don’t have the habit of downloading the airline app(下载航空应用软件). Using the app on your phone is important not just at the airport, but before you get there, too. You can receive the message in time if your flight is put off or stopped, even before you leave for the airport.
If you like to take some food along with you, you are making another mistake. There are many food shops at the airport.
Wearing the wrong clothing can bring you much trouble. The proper clothes can not only help us become comfortable on the plane, but also help us get through the check line faster.Those with belts(腰带), metals or stones will set off the alarm and slow you now and then.
Show your patience and kindness at the airport.A smile can help you have a good mood along with your journey on the plane.
Sending personal information over the airport Wi-Fi is a terribly stupid thing for the passengers. More airports offer free Wi-Fi to travelers. But never forget that “free” doesn’t mean “safe”. Public Wi-Fi networks aren’t safe, so whatever you do, don’t show your personal information through it at all.
