Then you find your gate and wait to board. Knowing the right words for each step keeps you calm and confident, even in a busy international airport.
Arrival and Getting Around
After landing you follow signs to immigration, where an officer may ask the purpose of your trip. Next you collect your luggage at baggage claim, pass through customs and step out to find a taxi, train or bus. A handful of polite phrases helps you ask for directions and start your trip on the right foot.
