Traveling can be a lot of fun because there is so much to see and do! Some of the places I have traveled to include Italy, Ireland, and England. Traveling is exciting because there is beautiful architecture and landscape in different places. The thing I like least about traveling is the airport. Airport security is an important thing in all countries, but it takes time away from sightseeing! At the airport you must first check in and get your boarding pass. If you have bags, they must be checked onto the correct flight. Then you walk through security to get to the gate that your plane will be leaving from. The security uses a conveyor belt to view your personal belongings and looks at them using special cameras and videos. The airport security officers will ask you to walk through a metal detector to be sure that you do not have any items that can harm yourself or others on the flight. Once you get to your gate you must wait until they call your row number to board the flight. Some flights take longer then others, but you are on your way to a great vacation!

I personally love to travel too...however I am terrified of flying. The security is probably the most inconveinient paret of traveling, however, it does make me feel safer.
ReplyDeleteSecurity is either super annoying and inefficient, or super quick and I end up spending three hours at the gate! Nice post.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post because many of the students have only been through this experience once or have not been through this at all. You clearly state the steps one has to take when traveling through the airport!
