Modern life is impossible
without travelling. Thousands of people travel every day either on
business or for pleasure. They can travel by air, by rail, by see or
by road and each mean has its advantages and disadvantages.

Some people say that
travelling by train is a very exiting thing. You can see interesting
places of the country you are travelling through. Modern trains have
very comfortable seats, and there are also sleeping carriages and a
dining-carriage which make even the longest journey enjoyable. You
can also travel by sea, enjoying the trip on board of ship. There are
tennis and badminton grounds, a swimming-pool, a cinema and a dancing
hall there.

Some people prefer travelling
by car. If you come to a foreign country you can rent a car and make
a wonderful trip.

A lot of
people like hiking. They adore living in a tent, making a fire and
preparing meals on it, gathering mushrooms and berries in the forest.

But the
fastest and the most convenient way of travelling is flying. Even
though it is the most expensive way, a lot of people chose it
nowadays. There
are a lot of businessmen who have to communicate with people from
other countries. Every day they must sign a lot of contracts,
sometimes within one day. So planes are the only possibility to do
it.

Travelling
by air has some disadvantages too. One of them is a
difference between the time you are accustomed to and the new time.
At first you won’t be feeling very well because of it and it can take
you long to get used to it.

After you
arrive at the airport, look at the departures board which shows the
flight numbers, departure times and destinations you have to be
prepared for one more inconvenience: Customs
and lots of other formalities. The
rules for passengers who are going abroad are similar in most
countries: you’d rather fill in the customs declaration before you go
through the Customs and talk to the customs officer. He may ask any
passenger routine questions about declare the things, spirits,
tobacco, presents. Then you go to the check-in desk where your ticket
is looked at, your things are weighed and labeled. Most airports have
at least 2 classes of travel, first class and economy class, which is
cheaper. Each passenger of more than 2 years of age has free luggage
allowance. Generally this limit is 20 kg for economy class passengers
and 30 kg for first class passengers, excess luggage must be paid for
except for some articles that can be carried free of charge. At the
check-in desk they also check your ticket and give you a boarding
card for the plane with your seat number on it.

The next formality is filling
in the immigration form and going through passport control. The form
has to be filled in block letters. You write your name, nationality,
permanent address and the purpose of your trip. In most countries
there is also a security check when your carry-luggage is inspected.
This is an anti-hijacking measure, and anything that might be
dangerous or disturbing to other passengers must be handed to one of
the crew and only returned to the owner after the plane has reached
its destination. After fulfilling all these formalities you go to the
departure lounge where you can have a snack, read a paper, buy
something in the duty-free shop and wait for the announcement to
board the plane.

About half
an hour before take-off, you go to a gate number, e.g. gate 14, where
you wait before you get on the plane. When you board the plane, you
find your seat. If you have hand luggage you can put it under your
seat or in the overhead locker above your seat. If there are no
delays, the plane moves towards the runway
where
the plane takes off.

When the
plane lands you have to wait for it to stop. When the doors are open,
you get off the plane and walk through the terminal building and go
to the baggage reclaim. Some of the formalities are repeated when you
arrive at your destination. The customer declaration and the
immigration form are often filled in on board the plane. At the
airport you may be met by a specially trained dog who’ll make sure
that you are not caring drugs, and the immigration officer might want
to know on whose invitation you are coming and whether you have a
return ticket.
