  美国旅游有哪些坑?
  坑一:美国国内转机时, 需要自己拿行李吗?
  入境美国的国际航班,第一程入境时,乘客要先过海关、并自己拿行李。然后再办理一次登机、安检手续,因此你要排两次队。所以一定要准备充裕的时间, 否则这个过程很可能来不及。
  但是离境美国转机时,只需要一次手续,除非你的机场或航站楼不一样。行李一般也可以直接到最终目的地,不需要自己拿。事先跟航空公司柜台确认即可。
  Direct flight: 直飞航班
  Transfer flight/layover: 转机航班
  Transfer hubs: 重要的中转站类型机场 (美国几个重要hubs包括纽约、芝加哥、洛杉矶)
  Go through customs/immigration: 过海关、边检
  Final destination: 最终目的地
  Get your bags: 自己拿行李
  Terminal: 航站楼
  Exhausting: 非常累的
  Connecting flight: 转接航班
  Long lines: 排很长的队
  Give yourself plenty of time when you have a connecting flight:如果要转机,最好准备充足的时间
  Airlines:航空公司
  Carry-on luggage: 随身行李
  Checked luggage: 托运行李
  Express line: 快速通道
  Not every airport will let you use express lines even if you are traveling with young kids or running short of time: 不是所有机场都会给带小孩儿的乘客或赶时间的乘客开放快速通道
  坑二: 美国国内短途旅行用什么交通工具好?

  Greyhound Bus: 灰狗大巴,美国著名城际大巴运营商
  Chinatown bus: 唐人街大巴,运营公司很多,票价便宜
  Mega Bus: 美国较大的城际大巴运营商

  Domestic airlines: 国内航空公司
  Delta 1 and American Airlines have great domestic coverage 2: 达美航空和美国航空的国内线最发达,相应服务也比较好
  It's expensive to travel by train in the US:在美国坐火车很贵,而且也慢
  Taking the bus to travel domestic is a good option since it's cheaper and faster than the train: 坐城际大巴是个好选择,通常比火车便宜、还快
  坑三:同城出行,什么交通工具好?
  Some cities have a great public transport system. But many don't: 有些城市,如纽约公共交通发达,但是很多城市不是这样
  Taxis are really expensive in the US: 美国出租车其贵无比
