Lesson 25Traveling

旅  行

 

Things to Know  學(xué)前必讀

在美國乘飛機旅行非常方便，價格也比其它任何地方便宜。美國的州際及國際航空公司有幾百家，全都是私營，各航空公司之間的競爭很激烈。據(jù)國際民航組織1986年統(tǒng)計，美國有3200架民航飛機，占世界總數(shù)的五分之一，占世界總航行里程的46.7%，占世界總旅客人數(shù)的64.7%。世界上10個最繁忙的機場中，美國占了8個。其順序排列為：Chicago-O'Hare International(1), Atlanta(2), Los Angeles(3), Dallas-Fort Worth(4), New York-Kennedy International(6), Newark, New Jersey(7), Denver(8)和 San Francisco International(10)。      

在波士頓(Boston)、紐約(New York)和華盛頓(Washington)間的航班，不須預(yù)訂，不須辦理行李手續(xù)，甚至不須買票，可直接在飛機上買票，每小時都有航班。
