On intercontinental flights, you may need to check in two hours (even longer if you are flying to Israel) before departure time. For other flights, check in is usually one hour before departure. Many airports have special check-in desks for passengers with hand-luggage only and for Concorde, First and Business class passengers. Do not drink too much alcohol before checking in, the airline has the legal right to refuse to take you on the flight. It is often possible to reserve a seat when you purchase your ticket, or by telephone days ahead of the flight. If you are a nonsmoker, find out if you are near the smoking section, or if the airline has nonsmoking flights. Aisle seats allow the most freedom of movement, but you may be frequently disturbed by occupants of adjacent seats. In addition, their food and drinks will be passed across your lap at each service. The aisle seats can also be unpleasant near toilets and service galley areas, especially when there are passengers waiting in line. The seats with the greatest legroom are located at the aircraft's cabin bulkhead, door, or next to an emergency exit. Remember that, even on the same type of aircraft, seating configuration may vary from airline to airline. So do not assume that a particular row or seat number will always be the same. Check each time. Keep your eyes on your baggage at all times; your confusion or hesitancy makes it easy for thieves and pickpockets. As you part with your bags at the check-in, make sure that all the bags are tagged with the correct flight number and airport code and that you get one receipt for each checked bag, your boarding pass, airline ticket and passport back from the airline check-in personnel. If you have not obtained foreign currency before going to the airport, get it before going through passport control. Few international airports have banking facilities after passport control.
