It's finally time to go.

After taking a plane from Baqing City to Seoul Incheon Airport, you don't need to pick up your luggage, you just wait for the connecting flight to the mainland of the United States, and then pick it up after arriving in the United States, which is quite convenient.

Wang Yiyuan is not a rich person, so naturally she books economy class throughout the whole process, and for ultra-long-distance travel, taking economy class is really a torment.

Although passengers are not forced to wear seatbelts once the aircraft reaches cruising altitude, the cabin is so large that it is not easy to stretch your muscles.

On weekdays, Wang Yiyuan's body is still very face-saving, and she can usually fall asleep quickly after getting on the plane, which more or less alleviates the fatigue during the flight. But this kind of super long travel can't do it! For more than ten hours, no one can keep themselves asleep.

Fortunately, this flight is a flight of a foreign airline, and the requirements for the use of electronic devices on board the aircraft are not the same as those in China.

In China, the "Regulations on the Administration of Civil Aviation Flight Standards" expressly prohibits the use of portable electronic devices on aircraft, including the use of mobile phones in airplane mode. There are also relevant provisions in the Civil Aviation Law, and violators may be fined or even detained.

The scientific basis of the previous legislation was that the mobile phone in the turned on state was in the take-off and landing phases of the aircraft, because the frequency of the search signal was similar to or even superimposed with the frequency of the electromagnetic wave used by the tower for communication, which may cause misoperation of the flight pilot.

However, some people have commented that this is the biggest lie of the century, because so far, there has been no conclusive evidence of a plane crash caused by mobile phones. Perhaps because of this, most foreign airlines do not have this restriction.

Most foreign airlines allow the use of mobile phones during the cruise phase of the aircraft, but in order to reduce the impact of electronic signal interference, airlines will remind passengers before the flight takes off that they need to turn off electronic devices during take-off and landing.

The same is true of the flight Wang Yiyuan took. Although the airline doesn't offer IFI in economy class, playing a stand-alone game on your phone or watching a previously downloaded movie is a good way to pass the time.

In this way, the more than ten hours of flight time finally got through when Wang Yiyuan dozed off, played games, and watched movies.

When the plane arrived at Los Angeles International Airport and the passengers got off the plane in turn, Wang Yiyuan felt a sense of pleasure after escaping from the escape room.

The entry was very smooth, and the situation of deliberately making things difficult for the customs or immigration bureau did not appear, and soon, Wang Yiyuan successfully cleared the customs and dragged the retrieved suitcase to the waiting area outside the airport.

Before leaving, Wang Yiyuan specially asked Hu Hao for a copy of the itinerary of the semi-free tour group reported by the two of them. According to the tour operator's plan, the first three days in Los Angeles are group tours, and the second six days are free and easy.

In general, this kind of tour group is rare, because the long free time is not only the loss of the tour guide fee and the related shopping guide commission, but more importantly, the travel agency cannot grasp the whereabouts of the tourists in the group.

In the past, a travel agency has encountered a similar problem, after the team leader led the team abroad, because the passports of the tourists in the group were not recovered in time after customs clearance, they were taken the opportunity to leave the group and smuggled from the local area to a third country. At that time, the incident should have been premeditated, there were more members who left the group, and after returning to China, it was no surprise that the tour leader had his license revoked, and the travel agency finally closed down after facing multiple investigations.

I don't know what the travel agency that Hu Hao joined this time thought about, not only gave the passengers in the group a great degree of freedom, but also did not take away the passports for unified management in order to facilitate the passengers to play on their own.

But this is good, at least it is convenient for Wang Yiyuan and Hu Hao to carry out the planned trip together.

Since Wang Yiyuan would be alone for the first three days, after thinking about it again, she decided to wait for Hu Hao and the others to travel together before renting a car. So, outside the airport, she hired a taxi to check in at the hotel she had booked.

Luxury is not Wang Yiyuan's style, but when she is new to a place, and it is a country with completely different humanities and customs, she feels that it is still very necessary to take a taxi.

It's the same almost everywhere in the world, and if there's anyone who knows a city best, it's the taxi driver.

In less than half an hour's drive from the airport to the motel she booked, Wang Yiyuan learned a lot of information from the taxi drivers: which car rental company is the most cost-effective, which shopping mall has recently had discounts for Chinese tourists, which place has a recent party, and so on.

Wang Yiyuan happily wrote down all this information one by one. It may not be possible to use them all, but it is not a bad thing to have multiple choices if you are prepared.

Wang Yiyuan booked a motel, and the price was relatively favorable. The room is a standard two-person room configuration, not to mention the conditions, but it is completely sufficient for bathing, daily washing and sleeping.

The owner of the hotel claimed to be a lover of oriental culture, and treated Wang Yiyuan very enthusiastically, and he only needed to register the transaction that could be completed by handing over the key to the hotel traveler, but he was stunned and pulled Wang Yiyuan to chat for more than half an hour, from the cultural differences between the East and the West to the development of Oriental countries in recent years, and talked eloquently, that ability can catch up with the talk show on TV.

Fortunately, Wang Yiyuan had nothing to do, and she was happy to accompany the first local she met after arriving in the United States - like the rest of the country, the taxi drivers in Los Angeles were not born native, and it should be said that most taxi drivers are immigrants.

After returning to the room and putting away the luggage, Wang Yiyuan took out her mobile phone and contacted Hu Hao and Ju Lili through social software, informing them that she had arrived at the hotel safely, and discussed the arrangements for the later trip.

Regarding the matter of the later arrangement, there was a difference of opinion.

Wang Yiyuan means that everyone is responsible for a part, for example, they are responsible for finding a suitable car rental company and renting a car, and Hu Hao is responsible for arranging scenic spots and designing routes. But Ju Lili used the excuse that she was on her honeymoon and wanted to play with her family wholeheartedly, and let Wang Yiyuan be fully responsible.

In the end, the result of the two-to-one vote was to decide that Wang Yiyuan would be solely responsible for the attractions, routes, and car rentals that Wang Yiyuan would be solely responsible for, which made Wang Yiyuan unable to help but "scold" the words "dog man and woman" on her mobile phone. These two people obviously regard themselves as free tour guides and drivers!
