How to Board a Plane
如何登机
来到机场，到柜台登记，检查行李，人身检查，进入登机大厅之后还有许多要注意。那么，都要做些什么呢？
Step 1， Find your gate. As soon as you walk throughsecurity， you should see overhead signs pointing the way tovarious gates. Look at your boarding pass to determine whichone is yours， then follow the signs.
步骤1，找到登机门。通过了安全检查，会看到指向登机门的指示牌。看登机牌，前往自己的登机门。
Step 2， Look at the information board displayed atyour gate， which should show the flight number， scheduleddeparture time and the time the flight will begin boarding.
Check to see if there are any flight delays； if you see a delaylisted， speak to the gate agent for more information.
步骤2，看登机门前的信息牌，上面有你的航班号、起飞时间和登机时间。查看有没有延误，如果飞机延误了，询问登机门工作人员相关信息。
Step 3， Prepare your carry-on luggage. Most airlines willallow you to bring two pieces of luggage on board： a personalitem like a purse or laptop bag， and a second item that can beplaced in the planes overhead bins. Condense your luggageinto two bags if you have more than two pieces.
步骤3，准备好随身行李，大多航班允许乘客携带2件随身行李登机。个人物品比如钱包、手提电脑，另外还可以带一件行李放在座位上方的行李柜里。行李多的话，尽量塞到这2件包裹内。
Step 4， Listen for announcements. Keep your MP3 playerturned off and stay off the phone while youre waiting to boardso you dont miss something. Check your boarding pass to seeyour seat number， and look to see if there is a zone numberlisted on the pass.
步骤4，听广播，等待登机时，关掉随身听和手机，避免漏听广播。查看登机牌上的座位号，并看看座位属于哪个区的。
Step 5， Collect all your luggage when you hear the gateagent announce its time to board your zone or the section ofrows that includes your seat. Hold your boarding pass out asyou get in line to enter the hallway， or jetway， that leads to theplane. The agent might either scan your pass or simply look atit before youre allowed to walk down the hallway.
步骤5，当听到广播，自己的座位所在的区或排应该登机了，拿好行李，出示登机牌，在登机道排队登机。工作人员会扫描你的登机牌或查看一下，然后可以进入登机通道。
Step 6， Walk onto the plane and down the aisle. Lookabove the seats to check the row numbers. Once you arrive atyour row， place your larger bag in the overhead compartmentand your smaller bag under the seat in front of you. Sit down，strap on your seat belt and get comfortable for your ride.
步骤6，登上飞机后，查看座位上面的排号。看到自己的排号后，将大行李放到座位上方的行李柜，把小的随身行李放在前方座位下方的袋子里。坐好，系上安全带，开始开心之旅。

The Most Popular Seats on an Airplane
飞机上最受欢迎的座位
Where do you like sitting on an airplane At the veryfront or the very back At a window or an aisle According toresearch by British Airways， the most popular seats on a Boeing747 are 51B/51C， 51H/51J and 52H/52J. Thats all the way in theback of the plane.
飞机上你喜欢坐哪个位置？在前面还是在后面？靠窗的还是靠过道的？根据英国航空公司调查显示，波音747最受欢迎的座位是51B、51C、51H、51J、52H和2J。这些都是飞机尾部的座位。
Those seats are the most commonly chosen by travelersbecause on a 747， they're the only seats that come in a pair(as opposed to three seats in a row). Couples traveling togetherwould lock those seats up first in economy class becausethey wouldn't have to share their row with anybody. Makessense. What's interesting is that in First Class， it's the exactopposite. The most popular seats are at the very front (1A and1K， both window seats) of the plane. I guess you want to be thefirst of the First in Firsr Class.
