Travel preparation

	Passport and ticket (Keep them with you all the time)
	Cabin baggage and checked baggages
	Step by Step - travel plan
	1. Reach the airport(in India) at least 3 hours before the flight departure time.
	2. Go to “ticketing and check in” counter
	3. Get your tickets and check in your baggage, ask them for a “thru check-in” to your final destination in US. Keep the baggage tag safe, You may require the tag at your final destination in US.
	4. Verify your ticket information, including name (spelling for last name), date, time and destination.
	5. Make sure that you get the adjacent seats, if it is not, request the attendant to give you adjacent seats.
	6. Flights are identified by a number, and this number will be associated to a Gate.
	7. Locate the Gate number on the ticket, and walk towards the Gate, Clear the security screening, now you will have only cabin bags and a Vanity bag with you.
	8. As you are leaving India, you need to fill out a form known as “EMBARKATION FORM” or something like that. Fill 1 form for each person; keep that form inside the passport. When the emigration officers ask for it, hand it over to them
	9. Read the board or ask someone which gate/direction you need to go, locate your flight gate. Sit there, until they start the boarding process.
	10. Once the boarding process starts, when they announce your seat numbers (normally a range of seat numbers like seats 20 to 35), board the plane, locate your seat number. Easiest way is to show the ticket to Air hostess, s/he will point to right direction. Stowe the cabin baggage on over head bin ( shelf kind of thing above your seat)
	11. Locate nearest bath room(in US sometimes bath rooms are termed as rest rooms), normally the bathrooms shown as picture of a man and a woman standing with European closet. If the picture is in green, that means, no one is inside. If it is shown in red or a red X mark on it, someone is inside the bathroom.
	12. If you have connection flights, repeat the steps 9 to 11 repeats until you reach Chicago.
	13. Once you are nearing Chicago, air hostess will give you, an I-94 form and a customs form. You need fill 1 form for each person.
