Chapter 395: Overweight
Ping Guo followed Ping Hanhan closely and stepped into the terminal of Amsterdam International Airport with his suitcase, waiting in line in the crowd to change his boarding pass. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines is an international airline headquartered in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, founded on October 7, 1919. KLM's main hub is Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport, which is a member of the SkyTeam alliance. KLM is one of the members of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) in terms of both international cargo volume and miles flown.
KLM and its partners have a network of 500 cities in 90 countries on six continents. The company has 351 offices in 251 cities in 95 countries. KLM's services include civil aviation, aircraft maintenance, aircraft chartering, catering, training of air and ground handling personnel, medical services and navigation clinics, GPS and insurance. Currently, KLM has a fleet of 181 modern aircraft. With an average age of 9 years, these aircraft are among the youngest flying fleets in the world.
Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport, known as the "first port in Europe", is the headquarters of KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, and has been voted the best airport in Europe and the world many times due to its excellent location, convenient transportation and transportation facilities.
It is said that anyone who has been there will find that changing flights can also be a relaxing and enjoyable tour. This is because the company is committed to maintaining a high quality of service to its passengers and providing employees with a stable working environment that motivates them. In Fortune magazine's list of the world's most popular companies, KLM ranks first in the airline sector.
As early as 1948, KLM launched regular flights in Shanghai. Today, KLM has increased its regular direct flights to China to 21 flights per week, including seven flights per week to the capital, seven flights per week to Shencheng and seven flights per week to Xianggang, as well as routes to Hangzhou, Chengdu and Xiamen.
Even King Willem Alexander of the Netherlands revealed to local media that he has been flying airlines twice a month as a co-pilot for the past 21 years, fulfilling his "flying dream".
The king is with KLM Cityhopper, a KLM airline that caters primarily to business travellers. In order not to reveal his identity, he never revealed his name in the radio greeting passengers before each take-off, only saying "welcome everyone to board on behalf of the airport and the crew".
In the face of insiders, the king made no secret of his passion for flying. "It's amazing to fly," he says, "and it's the greatest relaxation to focus on flying because you're responsible for the plane and the passengers, and you can completely 'retreat' for a while, focusing on flying and nothing else." ”
This made Pingguo quite fond of Willem Alexander, the king of the Netherlands who "lived a two-sided life". She knew that the Dutch king had ascended the throne in 2013 and had a "rebellious" shadow in his youth, and in an interview with Dutch television before his accession to the throne, he said that he would respect tradition, but at the same time wanted to be a "king of the 21st century" who could inspire and accurately represent Dutch society.
Down-to-earth work, it seems that it really started from the top of society.
Then, Ping Hanhan went through a kind of test.
The long queue for boarding soon came to Pingguo and them, it is indeed a very orderly society, and everyone's quality seems to be so exemplary and high-quality.
Needless to say, Dutch airports are based on blue and white. Not only does it look like it's in order, it's also very advanced.
Pingguo stood on tiptoe to observe the details, and found that people only need to manually swipe the card to board the plane, or they can print a soft boarding pass, and then go through their own luggage check-in procedures, fully automated, at least six fully automated check-in counters for self-shippers.
Pingguo was a little nervous because the nerves in her brain weren't fully automated.
But fortunately, there is still Ping Hanhan, everything depends on her. Anyway, Pingguo had already said to his daughter before leaving: "Baby, I'll go to your place to play, only with eyes, nose, mouth and ears, resolutely without brains!"
Pingguo's English has already been returned to her English teacher, and when she speaks with foreigners, she can only understand individual words. Fortunately, my daughter Ping Hanhan is a language genius, and in the past ten years of studying abroad, she not only knows Chinese and Japanese, but also is proficient in English, taught herself Korean and Dutch, and passed the B1 level in the French proficiency test. Therefore, all the communication with the outside world, as well as the complicated affairs in the trip, are fully entrusted to Ping Hanhan.
When you move, you throw away a lot of things, leaving behind all the necessities.
That's it, Ping Hanhan's big suitcase is still overweight, but she was very confused, and said: "I'm afraid of this, I paid the excess part of the cash on the airport's official website in advance! Mom, you're standing on this side, waiting for me to communicate. ”
So, half an hour passed, Ping Guo saw that Ping Hanhan was still telling one after another to the higher and higher levels of work that were called over, he was a little anxious, walked over, and said to his daughter, forget it, let's spend money to buy it again, otherwise we will miss the plane! You ask them, what do we do now to check in the luggage?
After negotiating for a long time, the working method that did not change at all made Ping Hanhan a little angry. However, she quickly told Pingguo that she must withdraw some items that are not overweight, and then accept the fine before she can go through the check-in procedures.
Pingguo immediately made a decision and said: "Hurry up, take out the things that can be thrown away, pay the fine, we have to catch the plane, and we have to go through the security check, that place is even more wasteful of time." ”
Originally, Pingguo's suitcase still had a gap of four kilograms to fill, but Pingguo ignored it, so they gave up and took the underweight suitcase into fully automated check-in.
People are always like this, no matter how calm and steady a person is, there are times when the brain is short-circuited, Pingguo blames himself like this.
She regretted it a little, why did she only think about doing one thing and one piece, and free up time and energy to do a good job of Ping Hanhan's suitcase, poor diet men and women naturally want to waste it as a shame.
So, in the end, they had to reluctantly cut their love and discard the daily necessities such as shampoo, power bank, conditioner and other necessities that their daughter had purchased in Amsterdam for a self-guided tour in the Netherlands.
Then, he was fined 70 euros, plus 35 euros for an overweight suitcase added to the official website before, and the direct economic loss was more than 100 euros, equivalent to 800 yuan. Chairman Mao Zedong once said that waste is a crime!
Pingguo, who was born as a police flower, glanced viciously at the stern, rigorous and accommodating flight attendants who came over to urge them to hurry up, as if they were saying to the suspect in their own country: "The crime is extremely heinous, you guys!"
On the plane, Ping Guo told his daughter about this feeling and resentment, Ping Hanhan laughed and said: "Mom, we are on other people's territory, and naturally other people have authority, and it is really not your turn to preside over justice, principles, or something! Hurry up, put away your lofty reverie as a national tool, we are traveling overseas, traveling the world, and we must take stability as the first criterion, right? You must not make your own claims, so as to save us from problems overseas in the future."
Looking at his grown daughter, Pingguo was silent. She also truly understands that you are a lamb that can be slaughtered at any time without being in your own sovereign state. And whatever you do is skillful, and everything has to be steady and imaginative from the beginning.
However, fortunately, at least Pingguo thought of the agarwood box that was inexplicably presented in her hand, and there was no abnormal situation, and even a bottle of iodine wine potion for wounds brought by Pingguo from China can pass five levels and cut six generals, which fully meets the needs of Pingguo's right index finger being stitched with more than 20 stitches.
This is something to be thankful for.
Will the airport in Strasbourg, France, intercept the agarwood box? After Pingguo got into the small plane, he did not worry about flight safety, but instead started to worry about the sky.
In the dark, Pingguo has a foresight, that is, sooner or later, she will encounter ghosts or people.
Well, I'm always ready from now on.
Always be ready! Pingguo raised his right hand silently in the depths of his heart, like a young pioneer.
