点滴文化情

MYTHS for checked-in and carry-on luggage

关于机场行李托运检查的错误认识

1. You will be reimbursed for all the items in a lost pieceof luggage - It would be nice if this was true but airlines allhave the maximum that they will pay per piece of luggage,regardless of the contents. Buy insurance or check yourhomeowner insurance to see if you are covered, and if possibledont pack your valuables in your checked luggage.

认为“行李丢失,行李内所有物品均获赔偿。”如果这是真的话,乘客会非常高兴,但是实际上航空公司对每件行李都有最高的赔偿限额,不管里面具体是什么物品。

2. If you are connecting to another airline your luggage willautomatically be accepted by another - This is not necessarilytrue when it comes to heavier luggage. If the weight of theluggage exceeds the allowance of your connecting airline youcould be charged excess baggage fees, or worse, an airline canrefuse to accept the overweight piece completely. If you aretraveling on multiple airlines during your trip it is important tocheck airline baggage policies if your luggage is nearing theaccepted limit.

认为“如果转机时,行李自然地由另一航空公司接受。”实际上,对于超重的行李就不是这样。如果携带的行李超出转机航班的限重,可能需要对超重部分付费,有的航班甚至拒收超重的行李。搭乘转机航线,如果行李接近限重重量时,要注意航空公司政策规定。

3. Baggage allowances are the same on airlines - Mostmajor airlines have similar policies but low cost airlines runthe gamut from generous luggage allowances to as little as30lbs per passenger. You may not even be allowed to checkin excess pieces, and some airlines charge a flat rate per extrachecked bag where others may charge for every extra pound orkilogram.

认为“所有的航班行李限重规定都一样。”大部分航空公司政策规定都相似,但是廉价航班的行李限重范围每位乘客可从超大重量到仅仅30磅。对于超重部分,有的甚至不允许通过检查,有的对于超重按件数收费而有的按磅或公斤收费。

4. If you are willing to pay extra fees you can check inexcess luggage - Sometimes there are blackouts for excessluggage which can mean no extra bags are allowed tobe checked even if you are willing to pay extra. Blackoutscan occur for weight and balance reasons, holiday travelrestrictions, etc.

认为“对于超重行李付费即可通过检查。”有的航班因为行李超重而停飞,因此不是想付钱就可以通过检查的。航班可因超重、假日旅游限制等而停飞。

Section 77 海关申报

Customs Declaration

进出机场,应按照出、入境国家的规则如实进行海关申报,否则若被查获,不仅必须付出加倍罚款,而且会引起不必要的麻烦。
