Because even if you fly to the west coast, the one-way flight distance from the United States to China/Shanghai will exceed 12 hour. Therefore, if conditions permit, first class and business class are of course the first choice. If you can, you can at least book a plane seat online first, and then check in at the airport to find a better seat if you can.

I think what seats are good for long-distance passengers (more than 6 hours of one-way flight)?

1. First class and business class-it's a waste of money. Can you take a lot of money?

2. Economy class-that's the point!

A. Don't choose the window seat (unless a row is full of your own people or peers): In this long 8+/ 10+ flight, you have to leave your seat at least 2-3 times. Plus, the plane to America doesn't care about day and night. You've been bothering the people sitting in the corridor to get up and let you go. It's embarrassing. And you can't get up and take two steps at any time when your feet are numb. It's not convenient to grow up. ...

B Try not to choose the first two rows of the area: the first two rows are reserved for the "old, weak, sick and pregnant" on the plane, unless you don't mind the child crying and staring blankly with you.

C. try to arrange something for yourself to do on the plane. Not everyone is lucky enough to sleep from getting on the plane to getting off the plane. Mp3 and reading are both good choices. Of course, listening to mp3 for less than two hours in a row will be bad for your ears, especially on the plane. Eating a lot on the plane is not recommended. Although eating snacks can kill a lot of boring time, flying can't help digest the environment on the plane, and there is no restriction. If you encounter strong turbulence, you will really find yourself guilty.

D. if there is enough time, it is recommended to choose a connecting flight. Breaking the time of 12+ will save money, and it won't be too uncomfortable on the plane. Maybe you can visit the transfer airport.

At this point, I personally feel that I am about to collapse in the one-way lonely 15-hour economy class seat. He has the urge to hit the wall! ! !

There are many cheap options for domestic flights in the United States. If you are lucky, you will meet the promotion of special price lines. Besides, American Airlines is very spacious (if you have the opportunity and conditions in foreign airlines, you should also choose American Airlines, which has more space than Belgian Airlines)-it is a waste of time for so many American fat people not to be spacious. I have seen many fat people walking in wheelchairs with crutches.

About renting a car

Renting a car is a good choice if there are many trips. However, it is recommended that two or more drivers be exchanged. Besides, the scenery along the South Pacific coast is really beautiful. The loess and desert in the southwest are also very emotional, just like thelma and louise! Remember to bring the CD and put it in the car.

1. Take your China driver's license and add an interpreter.

2. To choose a suitable car rental service provider, the author directly compares the prices of several major car rental companies and makes an online reservation. Those who have large airline members can pay attention to it: generally, these large airlines have prom numbers in car rental companies. There will be a special price.

Most tourists will choose sailing. The information provided by the car rental company is very easy to use, and the Chinese tips are accurate and timely, but it is too expensive. Spend 12 dolls a day. So you can take it with you at home or buy one locally (100d or more) and return it before you leave (it seems that this is not easy to calculate, I didn't say it). Basically, the United States can return goods unconditionally except for big sales.

Please be sure to read all the terms and conditions, including additional terms, before signing! ! ! Insurance, surcharge, overtime standard and expenses. You have to protect your own interests. Generally, they will overcharge you in advance (usually twice the normal estimated cost), calculate the actual cost difference when returning the car, and return it directly to your credit card. Keep all the receipts and remember to check the accounts when you go home. )

5. Be sure to check the condition of the car before going on the road, be sure! ! ! Include the appearance of the door locking the dashboard window of the fuel tank, etc. I don't want to be careful, but I want to be the most careful. If there is a problem, I will negotiate with the counter. After the inspection, I will change the navigator. Fortunately, I met a new car with the number of trips less than 1000km. On the third day after driving, we met the "engine light", which was always on, not dark, and alert msg suggested that the safety of the car could not be guaranteed if we continued driving. Although this is to prevent Americans from making a mountain out of a molehill, for safety reasons, I called their 24-hour service hotline after returning to the motel. After listening to my anxiety, worry and excitement, their operator kindly found me an online translator. I said ok, although I didn't think it was necessary. Then I translated and introduced myself online and have been participating in the review. They asked me to drive the car back to have a look and then decide what to do. I said no. The car said it was not safe to drive any longer. How dare I drive? Who will guarantee my safety along the way? Can you promise? I said either you send someone to change my car. Then the man said he couldn't do the main job and asked the leader to call me back later. I said okay. They said it later and called me back in less than ten minutes, saying that they would do as I said. They sent someone to the motel to find me a new car. Then the new car arrived in less than half an hour.

I feel that their after-sales service is still very good. Effective, fast and good-looking.

About long-distance buses

I specially took the Greyhound bus from new york to DC. I also checked the ticket on their official website and bought it directly at the ticket office. This ensures that the price is reasonable and the frequency is reasonable, because the fare bought by two Mexican (suspected) people in the same car is twice that of ours. In fact, there are also many long-distance buses operated by Chinese in this section (the price is slightly cheaper). Considering the boarding point and the name of Greyhound, we didn't choose it. This information is posted on the Internet. Choosing a long-distance bus suggests more online comparison. Sometimes price is not the only factor. Moreover, the long-distance bus was on time and arrived early on time, which made me sit at the station for 1 hour and wait for my pick-up.

When there is no traffic in America, cars can drive very fast and safely, and there are no horns. Everyone is very self-disciplined, don't grab the road, and don't just overtake. Even when there is a traffic jam (the night rush hour in Los Angeles), the speed of traffic is not slow, and everyone passes in an orderly way. Even so, no cars occupy that fast lane (fast lanes are for cars with more passengers and special vehicles). Do you know why the bus is so fast? Ha, you can take this expressway. Vehicles must let pedestrians pass, whether they jaywalk or not. In contrast, after returning to Shanghai, the traffic made me feel from heaven to earth or something. ...

About the subway (especially the new york subway)

The world-famous new york subway is broken, broken or broken! The station is really shabby, but the car is very good. When you take the subway in new york, you must pull the handrail, otherwise it will look good. Unfortunately, try it. Please note:

1. In order to calculate your days in new york, you can choose different ticket types, one way, one day, one week and one month. I stayed for five days and bought a weekly ticket ($27), counting from 7 x 24 hours after your first stop.

2. Take the subway in Manhattan, and remember the general directions of downtown and downtown, so that you won't get lost. Before some hotels and tourist centers get their free subway maps, it will be helpful to design the routes.

3. new york subway is 24 hours, no matter how late it is, you don't have to worry about missing the last bus. It's just that the time interval is long at night, and it often stops only at big stations.

4.NY subway is also divided into express train (stopping at the big station) and slow train (stopping at the station). Take the local train during the insurance period, but sometimes the train comes too fast to see the sign clearly. Then pay attention to the announcement of the station name on the train. After jumping off the station, you can get off and wait for the next train so as not to miss it. I have encountered this situation several times.

5. Pay attention to the bulletin board on the subway station. I have seen their trips shortened on weekends and nights, but it will also report after shortening.

There is a great travel agency, the high-end business tourism department of the Youth Travel Service Head Office, which arranged a trip to the United States for us. Not bad. I will write a travel note later, please help me! ! Visa is also professional!
