To make an air journey, you have to go to the airport where every passenger is given a boarding card with seat number as an aeroplane has limited number of seats. Announcement is made on the mike for the passengers to move to the particular plane with its flight number. Passengers board the plane by a ladder fixed to the door which is removed when all the passengers are seated.
Then the Aeroplane takes off. First it moves slowly on the cemented runway, then picks up speed and begins to run fast. Within a few minutes it begins to rise and fly higher and higher above the clouds and far above the earth to a height of about 6000 to 8000 meters.
Before taking off from the ground the passengers are advised to fasten their seat belts around them and remove them after the plane takes off high into the air, similarly when the plane is about to land, the same advice is given. This is to avoid jolting at the time of takeoff and landing. Up in the air, all things below look like tiny little toys. During the flight time, the Airhostess serves you snacks and soft drinks. She helps you to have a comfortable journey.
