We Wish You a Pleasant flight
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is your captain speaking. On
behalf of the crew, let me extend a very warm welcome to all of you who have
chosen to fly Air China. Our plane is bound for New York on the east coast of
the United States. Ours is a direct flight. It will take thirteen and a half hours to
reach our destination on July 19, at 1: 30 p.m. local time.
May I draw your attention to the Safety Flight leaflet which you’ll find in the
pocket at the back of the seat in front of you? We do ask that you read it. You’ll
also find an Air China magazine which you may find of interest. For those of
you not familiar with this type of aircraft, let me inform you that smoking is
strictly prohibited at any time during the flight.
