The key to efficient communication with airport ground staff during the journey is **Clear, concise, polite**, while avoiding misunderstandings due to differences in language or educational background. Here are some practical suggestions： --- ### **1. Prepare the necessary information in advance** -**Simplify requirements**: Refine the problem or requirement into keywords (such as "baggage check-in”, “change of ticket”, “flight delay”) to avoid complicated descriptions. -**Prepare documents/bills**: Prepare boarding passes, passports and other materials in advance to reduce the time for round-trip inquiries. --- ### **2. Use standardized terms** -Ground staff are familiar with process terminology, and it is more efficient to directly use standard expressions, such as： -️️*"Is this the counter for flight [flight number]?" "* - 🛄*"Where is the baggage drop for [airline]?" "* - ⏳ *"Is the flight on time? "* --- ### **3. Make good use of nonverbal communication** -**Pointing actions**: For example, finger the flight number and luggage label on the boarding pass to assist in explaining the requirements. -**Mobile tools**: Use the translation APP or the page of the airline's official website to directly display questions (such as frequently asked questions in multiple languages). --- ### **4. Polite but clear boundary setting** -If the other party starts chatting, you can respond with a smile： *"Thank you for your help! I need to rush to my gate now. "* *"Sorry I have to be in a hurry, thank you for your assistance! "* --- ### **5. Frequently asked questions about prediction** -Check airport processes (such as security screening rules and transit routes) in advance to reduce dependence on on-site inquiries. -Airline APPS or airport screens usually answer most basic questions (such as gate changes). --- ### **6. Be patient and respectful** -Ground staff may be exhausted from high-intensity work. Short and clear communication can reduce the pressure on both sides. -If you have poor communication, you can ask for assistance in finding a colleague with better English, or use the airport reception desk. --- Through the above methods, not only can the problem be solved efficiently, but also unnecessary social pressure can be avoided. The essence of communication during the journey is **Goal-oriented**, and clear needs + polite attitude usually achieve the goal as quickly as possible.
