The check-in desk

This is the long table where you go to show the airline your ticket and to check in your bags. If you are ever lost, just look for the check-in desk with the longest queue – it’s got to be yours! All the others will be free.

SEAT

At the check-in desk they ask you what kind of seat you want: a window one, or an aisle one. The window one gives you a better view, but you are trapped; on the other hand, the aisle seat gives you the freedom to get up when you want, but you’ve got nothing to look at, apart from the person next to you. If you are flying into London Heathrow, ask for a right-hand side window and enjoy one of the best views money can buy (unless it’s cloudy).
