Airline Travelling

There are three international airports in London: Heathrow, Stansted and Gatwick. Flights inside Britain are called domestic flights, so if you want to travel inside the country go to domestic Departures. At the airline desk you show your ticket and give them your luggage in the usual way.

There is also a fast, frequent plane service - the shuttle - between London Heathrow and Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Belfast. For services to other cities you should ask the airline or travel agents. Families, young people, students and other people can get some tickets cheaper (for train tickets ask about a "Rail­card"). Students also have some special offers.

If you've arrived by plane, the next thing to do is to get your luggage. Follow the signs to Baggage Reclaim and wait until you see your flight number. Keep your luggage with you till you are asked the label.

Go through the Customs. This is the place where officials may search your luggage. There are two channels (passages) for travelers. Those who have more quantity of things than it is allowed to bring must go through the red channel. They have to pay duty (special tax). People with no things to declare go through the green channel without paying duty. You can also buy some things at duty-free shops which are not taxed.

Travel by Trains

In Britain (железныедороги) are owned by the state. In general train services are very good, especially on express inter-city lines. (Поезда) are comfortable, clean, frequent and fast, and often have food. They are often quicker than the (междугородниеавтобусы), especially on (прямых) routes. However, they are quite expensive unless you can get a reduction. The easiest way to get a reduction is to get a (обратныйбилет). If you can buy a day-return (so that you go and come back on the same day) you can save 45 % of your fare. Other train tickets are available for travel at weekends or mid-week. If you can't buy for travel a return, you must buy a (билетводинконец). In Britain tickets (except some special reduced fares) are valid on all trains. It is not neces­sary to pay a supplement to (путешествовать) on an express.

If you want to find out details you can go to the (перрон) at British stations. The (контроллер) will want to check your ticket and will sell you a platform ticket if you don't want to travel but only want to say good-bye to a friend. You must keep your ticket safe during the (путешествие) because it will be checked when you arrive, and probably during the journey as well by the guard. All trains in Britain have first and second class (вагоны); if you want to travel first class you have to pay about 50 % extra for your ticket.
