# A way to communicate effectively without losing politeness When communicating with airport ground staff during the journey, these strategies can be used to avoid lengthy conversations while maintaining respect： 1. **Prepare the required documents and information in advance** to reduce back-and-forth questions and answers 2. **Use simple and direct language** to avoid complex terms 3. **Clearly express your needs**, such as "I need to check in, the flight is XX" 4. **Respond politely but succinctly** and avoid unnecessary small talk 5. **Make good use of body language** and visual aids (such as pointing to a screen or file) It is worth noting that the educational background of ground staff is different, and we should not generalize it. Many ground staff are professionally trained and fully qualified for their jobs, and their expertise is essential in airport operations. Maintaining respectful communication can not only improve efficiency but also create a more enjoyable travel experience.
