Airports are not always named after the city they are in. New York City has two international a irports: John F. Kenn
e dy and
LaGardia. Chicago's international ai r port is called O'Hare, and
there's an other for flights within the U.S. c all
e d Midway. The sam e with Washington, D.C.
There's Dulles Inter
n ational, and National f or flight
s within the U.S. The airport in Boston is Logan. In Seattle you ' ll find
Seatac, from Seattle and the name of a neighboring city, Tacoma.
9:00 a.m. Pacific Time 10:00 a.m. Mountain Time 11:00 a.m. C e ntral Time 12:00 noon Eastern Time If you hav e to fly through s e v e ral time z ones in 12 hour s or less, you may feel an upset of your body clock after the long fli g ht. This is jet lag. Doctors say the best thing you can do is rest o n
th e plane and perhaps have a drink of water and rest at your hot e l w
hen you arrive. Larger airports
with lots of international traffic have e mployees who speak lan g uage s besides English to help you, but smaller ones don't. You can bring a total of one quart of alcoholic beverag e s
nd one
carton of cigarettes (200 cigarettes) into the U.S. duty free. If you
bring more, you have to pay tax. If you lose something on the plane or can't find your baggage at the claim area, you should report it to your airline. If you lose somethi n g in the airport, you should go to the lost and found. TEXT 2. LONDON’ HEATHROW AIRPORT London's Heathrow Airport is the busiest international airport in the world and British Airways is one of the largest airlines. Duri n g the 1990s the airline flew to destinations in seventy-two countries
and annually carried more than 18 mln passengers. It was privatiz e d in 1986. Heathrow Airport's four terminals can handle up to 38 mln
passengers a year and London has four other airports, includi n g Gatwick, all of which handle international flights. The number of people travelling by air both for business and pleasu r e is growing and traffic at regional airports in Britain increased by 25 per cent during the 1990s. TEXT 3. AIR TRAVEL Nowadays people mostly travel by air. Here are a few hints on air travel that may be helpful: 1. Passengers are requested to arrive at the airport (air termin a l) one hour before departure time on international flights and half an hour on domestic flights. 2. Passengers must register their tickets, weigh in and regist e r the luggage. The economy class limitation is 20 kg. First class
passengers are allowed 30 kg. Excess luggage must be paid for. 3. Passengers are permitted to take only some personal belongin g s with them into the cabin. These items include handbags, briefcases or attache cases, umbrellas, coats and souvenirs bought at
the tax-free shops at the airport. 4. Each passenger is given a boarding pass to be shown at the
departure gate and again to the stewardess when boarding the
plane. 5. Watch the electric sign flashes in the plane. When the “Fast e n Seat Belts” sign goes on, do it promptly, and also obey the “No
Smoking” signal. 6. Listen to the announcement on the public address system. The
captain will welcome you on board, tell you all about the flight
and the interesting places you are flying over. 7. Do not forget your personal belongings when leaving the plane, TEXT 4. PASSPORT REGULATIONS AND CUSTOMS Landing formalities and customs regulations are about the same in
all countries. 1. While still on board the plane the passenger is given an arrival
card to fill in, he fills in (in block letters) his name in full country of residence, permanent address, purpose and length of visit, and address in the country he is visiting. 2. After the passenger has disembarked, officials will examine his passport and visa (to see if they are in order). 3. In some countries they will check the passenger ' s certificate of vaccination. 4. When these formalities have been completed the passenger goes
to the Customs for an examination of his luggage. 5. The passenger is required to fill in a customs declaration form. He must list all dutiable articles. (Personal belongings may be brought in duty-free.) Here is a partial list of prohibited articles: firearms, drugs, in some countries — meat products, fresh fruit and vegetables. ;
