Get Comfortable and Stay Safe
After getting on the aircraft, find your seat. Each seat is given a letter and number. Match your boarding pass to your seat. Put your carry-on luggage in an overhead bin. If it’s heavy, put it under the seat in front of you.
Your safety and comfort are important. Once you’re seated, fasten your seat belt and leave it on whenever you are seated. You may ask for extra pillows or blankets from the flight attendant. You may adjust the air coming from your overhead vent. Many airplanes have head rests and foot rests. First and business class passengers may get personal amenities to use. The flight crew will give an overview of the aircraft safety features, using a safety video or a demonstration. Pay attention. Look for the closest emergency exit. Electronic devices must be turned off when the airplane is taking off and landing. You must put away your tray table and keep your seat upright.
Once the aircraft reaches its cruising altitude, the flight attendants will begin in-flight service. You’ll get a set of headphones for the entertainment, movies, TV programs, news or music. Newspapers are also available. Food and drinks are part of in-flight service. On most international flights meals and drinks are free. First and business class passengers enjoy personalized menus with gourmet food. All passengers can enjoy in-flight duty-free shopping by looking in a catalogue.
You should watch your health. It’s recommended that you not drink caffeine or alcohol. Drink a lot of water. Stretch or walk five or ten minutes each hour. Airplanes are smoke free. The wash rooms have smoke detectors. If you ever need help, push the overhead call button.
