Planes in Europe
 
I just picked up all of my documents from the travel agent today. We
will be doing 3 flights within Europe. One from Paris to Budapest, one
from Amsterdam to Seville (with a change of plane in Madrid) and one
from Seville to Barcelona.

They are all e-tickets. I won't have a printer so I can't get boarding
passes. Do we just go up to the check-in counter and show them the
copies of the schedules the TA gave us? I'm assuming that they will not
speak English.

TIA,

A little tip, if you're without a printer in a hotel. Request your
documents to be faxed to the hotel. Go to the front desk, and pick up your
printed copy.

I keep a fax program in my lap top. If I need a printed copy, and the hotel
doesn't have a business center, I fax my copies to the hotel, and pick them
up at the front desk.

I guess I could use the business centers in the hotels. Thanks.

I think maybe the only place in the world where I have checked in and found
that *nobody* spoke English was a grass strip served by a twice weekly twin
otter in the Himalayas in Nepal. Otherwise it has never been an issue.

As for check in any good hotel should be able to help you with their own
equipment or, at a pinch, they should be able to point you at an internet
cafe nearby. You will find that, in airports, there are more and more self
service check in machines - the easiest way to make them work is slide the
credit card you used to pay for the ticket into the appropriate slot but
there are other ways such as typing in your 6 character booking reference
(the one issued by the airline not the reservations system used by your
agency but they could be the same) or even your name and flight number.
You may have to select your language. In the end there are always people
around you can ask and old fashioned check in desks.

The check-in agents will almost certainly speak some English.

Of course, if *you* had any manners, you'd try to learn at least a few
phrases of French, Spanish, Dutch and Hungarian before your trip. You
are visiting their countries, so it behoves you to at least try and
speak a little of their languages.

I do have manners. I also have a program on CD with French, Spanish,
German and Italian, and I've been trying to learn from it for 6 months.
Unfortunately, I'm not very good at remembering what I've learned.
