Спереводом. the rules for passengers who are going abroad are similar in most countries but sometimes there might be a slight difference in formalities. if, for instance, you are supposed to begin with going through the customs, you’d better fill in the customs declaration before you talk to the customs officer. an experienced customs officer usually smells a smuggler, but he may ask any passenger routine questions, for instance, «have you got anything to declare? » or «any spirits, tobacco, presents? » the usual answers would be, «yes, i’ve got some valuables, but i’ve put them all down in the declaration, or «i’ve got two blocks of cigarettes for my own use» or something of that kind. then you go to the check-in counter where your ticket is looked at, your things are weighed and labeled, a claim-check for each piece of luggage is inserted in the ticket and you are given a boarding pass, which has a seat number on it. of course, if your luggage weighs more than twenty kilos, you have to pay extra. the next formality is filling in the immigration form and going through passport control. the form has to be filled in block letters. you write your name, nationality, permanent address and the purpose of your trip. in most countries there is also a security check when your carry-luggage is inspected. this is an anti-hijacking measure, and anything that might be dangerous or disturbing to other passengers must be handed to one of the crew and only returned to the owner after the plane has reached its destination. after fulfilling all these formalities you go to the departure lounge where you can have a snack, read a paper, buy something in the duty-free shop and wait for the announcement to board the plane. some of these formalities are repeated when you arrive at your destination. the customs declaration and the immigration form are often filled in on board the plane. at the airport you may be met by a specially trained dog who will make sure that you are not carrying drugs, and the immigration officer might want to know at whose invitation you are coming and whether you have a return ticket. there is another inconvenience you have to be prepared for when travelling long distances by plane. it’s the jet lag, a difference between the time you are accustomed to and the new time. at first you won’t be feeling very well because of it, but don’t worry – it won’t take you long to get used to it.

Правила для пассажиров, выезжающих за границу похожи в большинстве стран, но иногда там может быть небольшая разница в формальности.
Если, например, вы должны начать с прохождения через таможню, вы бы лучше заполнить таможенной декларации, прежде чем говорить с таможни. Опытный сотрудник таможни обычно пахнет контрабандиста, но он может попросить любого пассажира, рутинные вопросы, например, «Есть ли у Вас что-нибудь декларировать?» Или «Есть духи, табак, подарки?» Обычный ответ был бы, «Да, я 'ве получил некоторые ценные вещи, но я поставил их всех в декларации, или «у меня есть два блока сигарет для собственного использования» или что-то в этом роде.
После этого вы идете к стойке регистрации, где ваш билет смотрел на ваши вещи, взвешивают и промаркированы, требование-проверка для каждого места багажа, вставляется в билете, и вы получаете посадочный талон, который имеет порядковый номер рабочего места в теме. Конечно, если ваш багаж весит более двадцати килограммов, вы должны платить дополнительно. Следующим формальность заполнения иммиграционной формы и прохождения паспортного контроля. Форма должна быть заполнена печатными буквами. Вы пишете свое имя, национальность, постоянный адрес и цель вашей поездки. В большинстве стран существует также проверка безопасности, когда ваш ручной багаж проверяется. Это анти-угон мера, и все, что может быть опасным или тревожным для других пассажиров, должны быть переданы одному из членов экипажа и вернулся к владельцу после того, как самолет достиг своего назначения.
После выполнения всех этих формальностей вы идете в зал вылета, где вы можете перекусить, почитать газету, купить что-то в магазине беспошлинной торговли и ждать объявления на борт самолета.
Некоторые из этих формальностей повторяются, когда вы прибудете в пункт назначения. Таможенная декларация и иммиграционная форма часто заполнены на борту самолета. В аэропорту вы можете быть удовлетворены с специально обученной собаки, которая будет убедиться, что вы не несут наркотики, и сотрудник иммиграционной службы может понадобиться знать, на приглашение которого вы едете и есть ли у вас есть обратный билет.
Существует еще одно неудобство, вы должны быть готовы к при поездках на большие расстояния на самолете. Это отставание струи, разница между временем вы привыкли и нового времени. Во-первых, вы не будете чувствовать себя очень хорошо из-за него, но не волнуйтесь - это не займет у вас много времени, чтобы привыкнуть к нему.
