Cultural Notes 文化注釋
在美國乘飛機(jī)旅行非常方便,價格也比其它任何地方便宜。美國的州際及國際航空公司有幾百家,全都是私營,各航空公司之間的競爭很激烈。據(jù)國際民航組織1986年統(tǒng)計,美國有3200架民航飛機(jī),占世界總數(shù)的五分之一,占世界總航行里程的46.7%,占世界總旅客人數(shù)的64.7%。世界上10個最繁忙的機(jī)場中,美國占了8個。其順序排列為:Chicago-O'Hare International(1), Atlanta(2), Los Angeles(3), Dallas-Fort Worth(4), New York-Kennedy International(6), Newark, New Jersey(7), Denver(8)和 San Francisco International(10)。?
在波士頓(Boston)、紐約(New York)和華盛頓(Washington)間的航班,不須預(yù)訂,不須辦理行李手續(xù),甚至不須買票,可直接在飛機(jī)上買票,每小時都有航班。?
