Try to arrive at the airport two hours before departure by international flight and report to the airline counter (check? Customs, licensing, inspection and quarantine procedures and exit procedures.
When reporting for duty, give the travel documents such as air tickets, passports, visas and yellow books to the counter attendant and fill out the exit record card. After the inspection is correct, weigh the luggage. There is a scale beside the counter. Everyone should be on the scale except hand luggage. Then the waiter takes the checked baggage to the counter and returns the other baggage to you; And fill in the ticket, weight, number of pieces, hang the checked baggage on the baggage ticket, and leave the receipt and ticket with the passenger himself, and the check-in procedure is completed. After check-in, the airline will return your passport, ticket, visa and yellow book to you, and give you an exit declaration form and boarding pass to prepare for customs declaration and exit procedures. The exit declaration form is used to declare to the customs, and the boarding pass will be signed by the customs officers after entering the exit room. ※. After the baggage inspection is completed, hand over the signed declaration form to the customs officer at the exit, and the baggage can be taken out smoothly. And a seat card. Some airlines will reserve seats in advance, while others will let passengers choose freely. With this seat card, you can get ready for boarding.
2. Boarding time regulation ※ When taking an international flight, you must enter the boarding gate at least 2 hours before the plane takes off. The relevant time will be printed on your ticket. When taking inland flights, the last departure time is 1 hour before the plane takes off.
3. The origin of international air ticket tax ※ Passengers who buy international air tickets often ask, why do they have to pay taxes on air tickets? Is it the airport construction tax? Of course not. Taxes generated when purchasing international air tickets are collected by airlines on behalf of local governments. International air ticket taxes can be roughly divided into three types: departure tax, transit tax and entry tax. Some countries have other taxes. For example, in the United States, in addition to the above taxes, there are customs use tax, airport tax, animal and plant immunization inspection fees and so on.
Of course, some countries do not collect taxes, such as China and the Philippines. So, if you go from China to Japan, there is no tax for one way, but there is tax for the round trip; Or your one-way ticket from Japan to China is taxed, because there is no departure tax in China and no entry tax in Japan, but there is departure tax in Japan. When I buy a plane ticket, the tax usually changes according to the exchange rate, which is why I bought a plane ticket last time the same as this time, but the tax is different. Of course, there is not much difference. In some countries, some cities have taxes and some cities have no taxes. For example, Tokyo and Osaka in Japan have departure tax, while Sapporo has no tax.
4. General Customs Entry and Exit Regulations ※ Passengers carrying national currency into or out of the country shall truthfully declare to the customs in accordance with state regulations. The entry and exit of China citizens and foreigners is limited to RMB 6,000 per person. If you bring RMB within the above limit into or out of the country, you can choose the "green channel" for customs clearance at the customs site where the "red and green channel" system is implemented; If it exceeds the limit, you should choose the "red channel" to go through the relevant formalities with the customs, and the customs will return the goods. If you fail to declare according to the regulations, you will be punished. According to the regulations, it is not allowed to bring national currency into or out of the country in the mail. Without approval, the national currency shall not be transported into or out of the country. Whoever transports, carries or carries national currency into or out of the country in violation of state regulations shall be dealt with by the relevant state departments according to law; If the circumstances are serious enough to constitute a crime, criminal responsibility shall be investigated by judicial organs according to law.
Passengers carrying cultural relics out of the country must declare to the customs. The cultural relics purchased by passengers from shops (cultural relics shops or friendship shops) with the right to operate cultural relics shall be examined and released by the customs on the basis of the unified invoice for the export of ancient cultural relics and the identification mark stamped by the cultural relics management department of China. Cultural relics obtained by tourists through other channels in China, such as cultural relics handed down from ancient times and cultural relics donated by relatives and friends, must be declared and identified in advance to the cultural relics management department of our country. At present, there are appraisal institutions in eight ports including Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin and Guangzhou.

1.International air ticket prices vary widely, and the main factors are:
1. Is the departure time off-season or peak season? Generally speaking, March-June and the end of 10- 12 are peak seasons, and other times are off-season. Of course, tickets in peak season will be more expensive. ※.
2. Is this a direct flight or a connecting flight? For example, if you go to Detroit in the United States, you can go directly or transfer through Canada. The fare is different. Direct flights are generally more expensive, but they save time. ※.
3. Is it a major airline or other company? Generally, there are one or two major airlines on a route, and other airlines also provide services, but there may be fewer flights and a longer time, but the fares are cheaper. For example, it may be cheaper to fly to Paris by Nordic Airlines than by Air France. ※.
4. How long will you stay? Can't you open it? Generally speaking, a round-trip air ticket takes an approximate return time, and the longer the time, the more expensive the air ticket. For example, the difference between a three-month ticket and a six-month ticket is about 500 yuan. ※.
5. Weekends or other holidays: Of course, tickets for weekends and holidays are more expensive. 2. When do I book the ticket?
Many customers wait for visas before they rush to find tickets everywhere, which delays time and may not be able to travel on time. There are actually two key steps in purchasing air tickets: booking tickets and issuing tickets:
1. Booking is the process of providing your name, time, etc. , the sales representative will provide you with various choices and reserve information for you in the ticketing system. There is no charge for booking tickets. We suggest that you book tickets as soon as possible.
2. Ticket issuing is the process of remittance and obtaining the actual ticket. Airlines usually clean up their systems seven days before departure, so you must issue tickets seven days before departure, otherwise you may not be able to get the reserved tickets. There are many ways to take opportunities when you are away from home.
Try to buy a return ticket or a return ticket. At present, the civil aviation ticket offices and most agents all over the country have basically realized computer networking, and they can order and pre-sell departure and return air tickets all over the country. Therefore, if you plan to come back or have multiple voyages, you must book a connecting flight ticket at the same time. According to the regulations of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, all connecting flights (including return flights) within 72 hours do not need to be confirmed at the local ticket office, which can save a lot of trouble in purchasing tickets in different places. However, if you hold a connecting flight ticket for more than 72 hours, you must go to the local ticket office three days in advance (some institutions with confirmation business can also confirm the ticket) (now the ticket offices in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou can confirm by phone). Otherwise, your seat will be cancelled, which will bring inconvenience to your trip.
Timely refund. If passengers temporarily decide to cancel the scheduled flight, they should go to the original ticket office as soon as possible to refund the ticket. The plane will go through the refund formalities 24 hours before the departure time, without deducting the refund fee; If the plane applies for a refund within 2 hours to 24 hours before departure due to passengers,10% of the ticket price will be deducted; Deduct 20% within 2 hours before the departure time of the plane. After the plane takes off, the refund will be deducted by 50% (the above refund is not refundable). If the flight is cancelled due to civil aviation reasons such as aircraft failure and bad weather, passengers should go to the airport check-in and other relevant departments in time to go through the refund procedures or ask them to sign and seal the ticket and explain the situation, and then go to the designated place to go through the full refund.
Choose the aircraft type, flight and airline when purchasing tickets. At present, the domestic aircraft carrying out the mission mainly include Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, French Airbus, British BAE 146, Yun Qi and other domestic aircraft. The airlines they belong to can learn from the flight codes, such as CA of Air China and MU of China Eastern Airlines. Arrive at the airport one and a half hours in advance, check in and get your boarding pass. The Civil Aviation Administration of China expressly stipulates that in order to ensure the punctuality and safety of the flight, check-in procedures will be stopped half an hour before the flight takes off.
If you don't panic, find the relevant airport departments in time. Passengers will inevitably encounter flight delays or cancellations due to aircraft failures and bad weather. If passengers are in a hurry or affect the next flight, they should promptly report to the airport check-in room or the duty leader for help. After the plane arrives at the destination, take the civil aviation shuttle bus. Domestic airports, big or small, have civil aviation shuttle buses to take passengers to the local city center after each flight arrives. It is generally more economical and convenient for passengers to take the civil aviation shuttle bus to the local city center and then transfer to the plane to reach their destination.
