Aircraft for passengers are equipped with daily necessities for real life.

The peak season for studying abroad is coming again. For most students studying overseas, they are actually preparing for the first time to go abroad. How to pack luggage, how to transit, and what to do if a temporary situation arises abroad... In response to these urgent and practical questions, experts from Delta Air Lines, a well-known airline, have provided thoughtful guidance for students studying abroad.

■ Departure: When departing, you will encounter border checks, customs inspections, and security checks. During this process, your luggage will be inspected and checked-in. Since different airlines have different requirements for checked luggage, some airlines have already prepared daily necessities for passengers on board. Therefore, students need to understand these requirements when booking tickets. Luggage is normally divided into "carry-on luggage" and "checked luggage." Different airlines have different specifications for different types of luggage. For example, Delta Airlines allows each passenger to carry 1 piece of carry-on luggage and 1 personal item, with a weight not exceeding 18 kilograms, and the sum of the length, width, and height of the luggage not exceeding 45 inches. Some airlines have already prepared daily necessities for passengers on board. Regarding checked luggage, different airlines have different free baggage allowances and specifications, and there will be additional charges for exceeding the allowance.

■ On the Plane: Long-haul flights usually take several hours, so there are some secrets to making the journey more comfortable. Some students prefer to bring daily necessities with them, but it's important to know that certain items cannot pass through security checks. Before traveling, students should call the airline they booked with to confirm which items cannot be brought onto the plane. In reality, some airlines provide daily necessities on board, allowing students to better utilize the services provided during long flights and avoid feeling like time drags on.

■ Transit: The number of direct flights from domestic to international destinations is still limited, so many students face the issue of transiting. Before transiting, students can familiarize themselves with the airport’s layout, the procedures required, and the general structure of the airport. They should check in early at the airline's counter at the airport where they will change planes. After clearing immigration, luggage needs to be re-inspected. If the airport is large, having an airport map becomes crucial, helping students save time.

During the transit process, luggage may sometimes get damaged or lost. In such cases, students should remain calm. If the luggage is damaged in the cargo hold, you need to handle it at the baggage claim area or at a dedicated counter set up by the airline. Passengers must fill out a baggage damage report, and the airline will arrange for someone to repair the luggage. Alternatively, passengers can send their luggage for repairs themselves and then send the receipt back to the airline for compensation.

■ Arrival: After collecting your luggage, many students need to contact local contacts via phone. At this point, having some spare change, especially coins, can be very useful. If you don't have coins, you can buy a calling card internationally or use a reverse charge phone call.
