What is the process of getting off the plane from China to Seattle? What's more, it's better to have photos of Seattle airport, hehe.

Excerpted from the post of a netizen named celia5006 on the North American Chinese website, thank you very much:

4. Entry and transfer after disembarkation at Seattle Airport

You will land at Seattle Airport, which is called SEA-TAC Airport.

1. Get off the plane: Take your carry-on luggage before getting off the plane. After you get off the plane, you will come to the customs with the people on the plane. At the customs, it will be divided into places where Americans enter the customs and places where foreigners enter the customs. The electronic display screen at the place where foreigners enter the customs shows VISITOR, or to put it another way, foreigner/non-resident (non-citizen/non-green card holder).

2. Entry: After following the large group to the customs, take your passport, boarding pass, I-94 form and customs declaration form (these two forms were filled out on the plane). The distance between the team and the customs officer counter is almost one or two meters. A couple can go to the customs officer for inspection together, without going one by one. When it's your turn, take out your passport, I-94 form, customs declaration form, boarding pass, round-trip air ticket and letter to the customs officer. You don't understand English, and you don't understand their problems. It doesn't matter. He may ask a Chinese translator from the customs, or you can ask someone from the team for help.

They will ask to press the handprint, just hold out your index finger and press the handprint by gesture. There will be photos. Just take off your glasses and look at the camera above the counter, and the flash will be over.

Then the immigration officer will tear off the upper part of the I-94 form and order the lower part to be returned to the passport for use when returning from customs. He will also stamp his passport to record the time of entry into the United States and the legal stay (usually 6 months). Pack up the plane ticket, passport and I-94 form ordered above, and follow the big party to pick up the luggage. If you don't understand anything, please ask the China people around you to help explain and translate it. As long as it is comfortable, there will be no problem.

3. Baggage claim area.

Mom and dad bought a joint flight ticket, so they don't need to change their boarding passes and check their luggage. However, the luggage checked in Beijing should still be taken out, inspected by the inspection and quarantine bureau, and then put on the conveyor belt for transporting luggage. It may take a while to pick up the luggage. You can follow the crowd, so you should be able to see the baggage claim area. I don't know how to ask the people of China. There are hundreds of people on the same plane as you, so just watch what others do. Don't be afraid to disturb others. Everyone will be considerate when going out, and will be happy to help as long as they are not in a hurry. Every time I fly from China to the United States, I will help several uncles, aunts, grandparents who can't speak English to carry their luggage through the customs quarantine. It's simple.

At the same time, pay attention to the sign above your head: baggage claim area, which means baggage claim. When you see many conveyor belts, you arrive at the baggage claim area.

Look at the electronic screen above the conveyor belt, which has your flight information: Start-& gt；; Destination: Beijing->; Seattle, flight number HN495. In addition, you can also see whether people on the same plane are standing next to this conveyor belt. If the person standing next to you is not on the plane you just took, you are waiting for the wrong conveyor belt. Baggage sometimes moves slowly, so just wait. Pay attention to the sign of the luggage when you pick it up, and don't take it wrong. If there is a lot of luggage, there is a cart beside it. Just pile the luggage on it and push it.

(When getting off the plane, find a China person or a group of China people on the same plane and follow them from beginning to end, which is less likely to make mistakes. ).

After you get your luggage, you still follow the crowd to the inspection and quarantine place. Someone will ask you if there is anything to eat in your luggage or other questions. You can show him the Chinese-English note in the appendix that says "I can't speak English, there are no prohibited items in my luggage", and then show him the customs declaration form filled out on the plane.

The staff may ask you to put your luggage on the machine for X-ray inspection, or you may need to open the box for inspection. Just cooperate with them. After the inspection, put your luggage on the trolley. If there is a conveyor belt nearby, put your checked baggage on the conveyor belt. If not, you will find it after a while. There will be a staff dedicated to transporting luggage next to the conveyor belt, so just give it to them, because the information about going to the terminal has been posted on the luggage at Beijing Airport.

4. Find the next flight

The next flight is Alaska Airlines. The code is as.btw Any flight taking off and landing at Seattle Airport, departure and landing time, terminal and boarding gate can be found on its website.

Departure destination: SEAà a (short for Seattle Airport to A Airport).

Flight number: AS 123 (I scribbled the numbers)

Departure time: sometime in the afternoon.

The time to arrive in a city is: sometime in the evening.

The picture below shows the top view outside Seattle Airport. Planes of different airlines will land at different airport terminals (called the central hall here). From the picture, you can see four terminals, which are marked as A light green /B orange yellow /C dark green /D khaki. The terminal building where you arrived by China Hainan Airlines is the single blue-purple square South Satellite Building on the left. Alaska Airlines flight AS 123 will board from Terminal C today. C 18 takes off.

When you get your boarding pass in Beijing, you will notice that the boarding gate of Seattle Airport is composed of one letter and two numbers. This letter represents which terminal you are boarding at. C means boarding at Terminal C, and D means boarding at Terminal D. 。

I printed all the pictures sent to my parents, marked the route and possible facilities in Chinese and scanned them and sent them. JMS can also do this, which makes them look more convenient. I only send the original picture of this post, and will not take it out to make people laugh. )

The related pictures of this question are as follows: the whole picture of the airport. Bone morphogenetic protein:

There may be changes on the day of your connecting flight, but it is unlikely. I will check online in advance, but the boarding gate may change due to flight delay or weather. Sometimes the boarding time and boarding gate on the boarding pass will be temporarily changed, but don't worry, there will be large LCD screens everywhere in the airport lobby and waiting area to show the latest flight dynamics. Look for the one with the big letter "Go" at the top. This is to display the flight departure information of the day. Generally, the flight number is displayed (two English letters plus three or four numbers, such as AS 123), then the departure TIME, and then the boarding gate. You can definitely find the flight information of AS 123 on this screen. Don't look at the big word ARRIVELS displayed at the top. This is the flight information that arrived at Seattle airport that day.

Mom and dad get off the plane, go through customs, get their luggage, and go through quarantine at the South Satellite Building. If you want to transfer to another flight, you have to go upstairs and take the shuttle bus. This is a photo of the South Satellite Building. You will leave S3 and take the shuttle train on the second floor through the passage between S9 and S 10.

I learned from the air ticket agency that HNA has signed an agreement with Alaska Airlines. If you want to buy a joint flight ticket, you can buy it from Xiya.

Connecting flights to other cities in the United States will be carried by Alaska Airlines and take off and land in halls C and D of Seattle Airport.

Get off at the station marked main terminal. There should be only one stop, but not necessarily. Mom and dad should pay attention to the sign of the station. You can walk from the main building to Terminal C or take a small train. This is a map of the second floor of the main airport building.

There is a counter of HNA in the upper square in the picture, and the number is 1. If there is any emergency (for example, the last international flight was delayed and the next domestic flight was missed-I think it is unlikely, or your domestic flight in the United States was temporarily cancelled for some reason, you can go to this counter for help. There should be staff here who can speak Chinese. Ask them to help explain the situation to Alaska Airlines. Give you the treatment you deserve (such as staying in a hotel for one night and changing to a flight the next day, or changing to a later flight on the same day). But this kind of thing is basically impossible. Just relax。

Terminal c, you can walk there or take a small train. If you take a small train, you will go from this sign on the far left.

The pictures related to this question are as follows: unnamed. Bone morphogenetic protein:

Get off the train, then go through the whole airport lobby, get on the bus at the place marked 1 with track pattern at the bottom of the above picture, sit at No.6, that is, get off at the terminal, and then go through the whole airport lobby to the rightmost one in the picture.

The pictures related to this question are as follows: unnamed. Bone morphogenetic protein:

The sign is subject to security inspection, which is similar to the domestic security inspection, but you need to take off your shoes and take out the mobile phone key metal objects in your pocket and put them in the box. Carry-on luggage passes through the security belt and people walk through the small door. In short, it is to learn from others.

After that, find a place marked with shuttle bus to get on the bus and get off at gate C. The following is the route map of the train at Seattle Airport.

After entering Terminal C, start looking for the boarding gate. You can sit near the boarding gate and wait for a rest, or you can look around and walk around. This is a map of terminal C.

The related pictures of this question are as follows: concurcec.jpg:

Just in case, you should also look at the map of Terminal D. I checked it online and found that Alaska Airlines flights will only take off and land in these two terminals.

The related pictures of this question are as follows: concursed.jpg:

I translated part of the menu of an Asian fast food restaurant near Gate C 18. You can go there and have dinner together.

From 1 1 at noon to 10 at night, it is impossible to stay at the airport and on the plane without eating. On domestic flights in the United States, only drinks are served on the plane, and plane meals are not served.

Just show this bilingual menu to the waiter and show him what you want to eat. This is the signboard and photo of this fast food restaurant. I won't post this for fear of advertising suspicion. The purpose of posting this paragraph is to use this method if parents need to switch to hot meals and hot dishes for a long time. The website of Seattle Airport has the location map and menu of all restaurants in the organic venue. My parents didn't book a two-and-a-half-hour transit time to be on the safe side, but did.

When it's time to board the plane, just wait near the boarding gate, just like when you board the plane. There is an hour time difference between Seattle and a city, so the actual flight time of this flight is about 3 hours. When the stewardess wants something to drink, show her the corresponding precautions in Chinese and English. Get off the plane, take your own things and follow the crowd to the baggage claim area. Or look for the word "luggage" on the sign and follow the arrow. I wonder if the baggage claim area of an airport in a city can let the people who pick up the goods from the airport in. We'll wait there if we can. If not, you can pick up your luggage first and then come out to the airport lobby, where we will wait for you. There will be a trolley at the baggage claim area. Generally, carts on domestic routes in American airports are charged and need to be coin-operated.

Then let's meet! Hug with joy!
