thanx!! its my first time on plane

Answer 1

Aircraft usually fly around thuderstorms...or over them...don't worry too much, the planes are protected from lighning strikes and will not suffer any major damage if struck while in flight.

avoid bringing liquids in your carry on...if they are found at the gate they will make you toss them, if you have them in flight they will probably get confiscated.

food is OK just make sure that you have eaten all you bring onboard if traveling from country to country...you will not be allowed to bring it into the new country.

lost luggage is not something that there is much you can do about. to reduce the chance of them losing your luggage... arrive and check in in plenty of time to ensure that your bags are on your plane..if you arrive too late to the airport they will put your bag on the next flight going to your destination (hopefully)..make sure your bag is properly marked with the destination you are going to (ask at check in to double check)

Answer 2

If there is a thunderstorm the plane will go around it. It could cause a delay. Thunderstorms cause the most problem on the ground because no one can be on the ramp to bring in the plane. Planes do get hit by lightning. They have rods on them to disperse the static charge. It might cause a bit of damage to the plane but nothing unsafe. The passengers might not even know they were hit.

If they find liquids (besides the baggie of 3oz. liquids you are allowed) in your carry-on through security they will take them away.

If you bring food then you eat it if you want, nothing happens.

If you lose you luggage you make a claim right away. Keep you baggage stub when you are first given it. If your bag never shows they will compensate you.

Have fun!

Answer 3

1. Airplanes fly through thunderstorms a lot and nothing much ever happen to them because thay can fly above or around the storm.

2. If they find liquids and it's below 3 ounces in each of the 3 or fewer containers, they'll let you bring them on board. If more than allowed, they will just throw them out before letting you on.

3. Food are alright if you bought them after you get through security. Never wrap your food in foil. They will think it is like a metal object or something torough x-ray.

4. People lose their luggage all the times. At least 10,000 pieces of luggage are misplaced everyday in the US. Usually, the airlines can locate them and deliver them to you at the place you are going in the next day. Out of the millions of people that fly every day, 10 thousand bags aren't that Much.

Answer 4

1. Airplanes fly through thunderstorms practically everyday and nothing much ever happen to them. If possible, your pilot will try to avoid stormy areas and flies around it.

2. If they find liquids in your carry on and it's below 3 ounces in each of the 3 or fewer containers, they'll let you bring them on board. If more than that, they'll just throw them away before letting you on. You'll need to check and make sure you comply before you get to security so you won't waste your time and that of others.

3. Food and drinks are alright if you bought them after you get through security. Don't bring any food through security if you don't want them to go through it. Never wrap it in foil. It'll show through the x-ray machine like a metal object.

4. People lose their luggage all the times. It's estimated that at least 10,000 pieces of luggage are misplaced everyday in the US. Usually, the airlines can locate them and deliver them to you at your destination the following day at the latest. Out of the millions of people that fly every day, 10 thousand bags aren't that many though so be cool and relaxed. Enjoy your flight!

Answer 5

If there is a thunderstorm they usually will fly over the clouds ,but if it is bad they will make an emergancy landing. DO NOT BRING ANY LIQUIDS ON THE PLANE!!!You are allowed to bring food in the gate area ,but when it is time to bord the aircraft throw it away. If you lose your luggage go to the desk and tell them. thay will eather find it right theen and there of thay will diliver your baggage to your resedince.

Answer 6

1) The plane could fly above the clouds.
2) Put the liquids in a ziplock bag, and they'll allow you to bring it on.
3) Food that is sealed can be brought from home and food bought in the terminal is allowed on the plane.
4) The airline will reimburse you. (though if you have something really valuable, you probably want to keep it in your carryon.

Answer 7

1. The pilots will go around it, or there will be some turbulence.
2. They will take them. (and they will find them, so I wouldn't try it)
3. Eat it. Nothing wrong with bringing food on a plane.
4. They'll find it and get it to you eventually.

Answer 8

Take one carry on bag, you have less chance of losing one carry-on bag! Keep your eye on it as it goes through the x-ray machine and grab it as soon as it comes out the other end of the x-ray machine!
