沉醉在异域风光里　出境游小词汇 Vocabulary

一般的旅行用travel就可以，因公而进行的短暂旅行叫做trip，观光旅行叫tour。Journey多指长途旅行，所以一定要做好准备再出发哦。海上旅行叫voyage。坐着pleasure boat在地中海来次cruise tour一定是我们许多人的梦想。

出国旅行要办签证visa。最好还要预定reserve往返机票round-trip ticket 和下榻的酒店hotel。

在机场
我们可以乘坐机场巴士airport bus去机场。拉着旅行箱trunk，走到航空公司airline的柜台前办理登记手续check-in。出示机票flight ticket和护照passport，领到登机牌boarding pass，然后进行安检security check。手续都办好，就可以登机了。如果离飞机起飞take-off还有一段时间，你可以去免税店duty free转悠一圈，不过千万别忘了飞机起飞的时间哟。

飞机上
飞机上的乘务员flight attendant通常都很热情，有什么请求尽管提好了。In-flight meal 是飞机餐，饱餐之后难免就要去lavatory。Lavatory是指飞机上的洗手间，如果门上显示occupied字样，就表示你要等待一会了。

入境检查
下了飞机以后，要到标有入境检查IMMIGRATION的地方接受入境检查手续。手续完毕，就可以去行李领取处baggage claim area取行李。最后就要去海关出入境口clear customs接受最后的检查。海关人员会问你：“Anything to declare?”你只要说句“No, nothing.”，就可以离开机场了。
