A group of seven people took a minibus from Yanjing City to the capital airport in the northern suburbs.The capital airport in 1988 was really very simple, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Yang Jing really couldn't believe that the huge and prosperous international airport in later generations had developed from this small terminal.At this time, there was only one terminal at the Capital Airport, that is, Terminal 1, and this terminal only had ten gates at this time.However, at this time, the capital airport is far less crowded than thirty years later, and the capital airport thirty years later is like a super-large bazaar.But now, the capital airport can only be described in one word - empty.If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Yang Jing really couldn't believe that the capital airport was still so deserted.No way, in this era, taking a plane is still a pretty tall thing, and without a certain level, ordinary people can't take a plane at all.Even if they are cadres at the department level, they will not be able to take a plane unless there are special circumstances.Because you want to take a plane, you must buy a ticket with a letter of introduction from the unit, otherwise, there will be no door.If you don't have enough level, you can't buy a ticket.Therefore, the Chinese civil aviation in this era will be so deserted.Of course, Yang Jing and his party belong to "foreign VIPs", and of course they have the right to take the plane.The terminal building of this era is also very colorful at that time, walking into the terminal, you can see a huge banner that almost spans the entire terminal, which reads "service first, safety first, do a good job in civil aviation" and a series of big characters, very Chinese characteristics.Terminal 1 compared to the second and third terminals of the later generations, it is really simple, at this time the capital airport does not have a boarding bridge or a covered bridge, even if it is an international flight, boarding can only use the shuttle bus, and then board from the plane ramp.And the most incredible thing for Yang Jing is that in this era, there is no obvious reminder sign at the security gate, reminding passengers that they can't carry anything, and there is no security detector, although there are also security inspectors standing there, but just to ask you what you are carrying in your luggage, and rarely open the box for inspection, far from the security check in later generations, I can't let you strip off your clothes for inspection.And at this time, there is no restriction on tea boarding, Yang Jing saw with his own eyes two cadres wearing cadre uniforms, one carrying a large cup of tea through the security checkpoint, laughing and waiting for the shuttle bus to come to pick up passengers, it is really an incredible security check!
Through the shuttle car, they came to the "Trident" passenger plane, and yes, the plane that Yang Jing and they were about to take was the "Trident" passenger plane that China Express Airlines introduced from the British de Havilland Company in the 70s.In this era, although Huaxia also has Boeing passenger aircraft, but they are all used for international flights, domestic regional airliners, the shorter range uses Il-18, An-24 and other old Maozi aircraft, and the longer range uses this Trident aircraft.When he was doing the ferry, Yang Jing saw a lot of old propeller planes such as Il-18 and An-24 parked on the tarmac, and although this Trident airliner is not as tall as the Boeing airliner, in this era, the Trident airliner is a jet airliner, and the grade is of course much higher than those propeller airliners, so many people can take a Trident airliner once, and they can blow it for a long time when they come back.Yang Jing's private jet could not apply for a route in China, so he could only take a civil airline to Wushi this time, and Yang Jing also saw his Gulfstream IV on the ferry.It's a very helpless thing, okay?
Obviously, he has a high-performance private jet, but he can't take it, which is just after a short period of speechlessness, Yang Jing doesn't care.Besides, it is actually a very interesting experience to feel the domestic flights of this era.At least people of my own generation may not be able to take this kind of antique plane in this life.Wu Dawei, who has been following Yang Jing, also seems to see that the boss is very interested here, but of course he also knows that his boss is flying from the United States on a private jet, and in this era when ordinary people can't take planes at all, it is simply unthinkable to be able to have their own private jet.So Wu Dawei knows very well what he should say and what he shouldn't say."
Boss, we are still relatively poor in Huaxia, and the domestic flights of civil aviation are like this, please forgive me."
Yang Jing looked at Wu Dawei, shook his head with a smile and said, "It's very interesting, I mean, it's actually a very good thing to be able to feel these old planes." ”After getting on the plane, the flight attendant directly guided Yang Jing and his party to the front.There is no first class on this kind of domestic flight, but the front position is the best, and the tickets they buy are also in this position, plus there are six foreigners in the group of seven people, and the flight attendant of course has to take special care.After taxiing, the plane flew safely into the sky, and after flying to a stable altitude, the flight attendant pushed the car over, obviously, after learning that six foreigners came on his plane, the captain also attached great importance to it, and specially told a flight attendant to serve these foreigners.In this era, foreign guests are very popular, even if they can take the plane are leaders, but in front of foreign guests, foreign guests are still preferred.After all, in this era, China is in urgent need of foreign exchange, and most of the foreign guests who can come to China are here to invest in China, which is China's distinguished guests.The coffee and green tea in the car were all free, and the stewardess even took down two bottles of Moutai.This move made Yang Jing a little confused, he knew that he could drink alcohol on the plane, but what does this Moutai mean?
This Yang Jing really doesn't know.Wu Dawei on the side explained: "Boss, try our Huaxia National Bar, which is served free of charge on the plane.Since 1975, passengers have been provided with a bottle of Moutai for free on international flights, but now they are not provided with a bottle of Moutai for passengers, but for free.However, we were apparently taken care of, and the stewardess brought us two bottles directly. ”When Yang Jing heard this, he remembered that Huaxia Civil Aviation seemed to have provided Moutai for free in the seventies and eighties.At that time, passengers who took Huaxia Civil Aviation international flights were given a free bottle of Moutai.It was later changed to a free supply, which was not canceled until the end of the eighties.At that time, a bottle of special Moutai was about 10 yuan, which was nearly one-sixth of the monthly salary.However, because taking a plane is already a "sky-high price", many people think that it is not surprising that Moutai is supplied in the first class and even ordinary cabins of the plane.At that time, there were not only Moutai, but also Hongbao orange juice, as well as Olympic Cola and other drinks.However, Moutai is provided on international flights, and now domestic flights are also providing Moutai liquor to their own group, which is obviously special care.Yang Jing waved his hand and said in fluent Chinese: "This young lady, thank you very much for taking care of us, but we don't need this delicious drink now, just give us some drinks." ”Yang Jing's fluent Chinese made the flight attendant's eyes widen in surprise, she really didn't expect this blonde foreigner to be able to speak Chinese so fluently.This is not a few years later, a few years later, a "mountain" of cross talk suddenly appeared, and the Chinese people knew that foreigners could also speak fluent Chinese, and now, a foreigner can speak such fluent Chinese, which is even rarer than the sun rising in the west.After a short period of consternation, the beautiful flight attendant smiled and took Yang Jing a few bottles of Coca-Cola, and then politely said goodbye.Wu Dawei opened the Coca-Cola in his hand, took a sip and said, "Boss, in fact, five or six years ago, you could still smoke on the plane."
It was only in '83 that civil aviation stipulated that smoking was not allowed on domestic flights, but smoking was still allowed on international flights.Now the little devil's flight has been non-smoking, so when the little devil comes to our Huaxia, he chooses to take the passenger plane of Huaxia Civil Airlines, because the passenger plane in Huaxia is not smoking. ”"A few years ago, when I hadn't resigned, I once followed the leader to do an inspection, and after getting on the plane, the stewardess would provide us with cigarettes, and I remember that there was a ten-pack cigar called 'White-Haired Girl' that was very powerful."
Yang Jing nodded with a smile and said: "Actually, there is no smoking ban on flights in the United States now, but I think it's coming soon, smoking on the plane is indeed a very dangerous thing, and it is very necessary to ban smoking." ”The ban on smoking on flights in the United States is indeed relatively late, this country had a complete ban on smoking on civil airliners in 1977, but the ban was lifted in 1984 after a few years, but in 1988, that is, this year, the United States began to ban smoking from domestic flights within two hours, and then expanded to domestic flights within 6 hours in 1990, after 2000, all domestic and international flights have been banned from smoking, and other countries have followed suit, but Cuba, which is famous for its cigars, should be the most stubborn country in this matter.
It was not until 2014 that smoking was banned on international flights.So, from this point of view, smokers living in this era are still relatively happy, at least they can smoke on long international flights.Which is like the afterlife, you want to smoke on the plane?
Die!
Not to mention smoking, you won't be able to pass the security check alone.Yang Jing thought that when he took Gege to Nanyun, the big box in front of the security checkpoint of Jinling Airport was full of lighters handed over by passengers.What's even more infuriating is that it is said that these lighters were taken out by the vendors at the airport and re-sold, a disposable gas lighter, sold at the airport gate, three pieces a piece, five pieces a piece, love to buy it or not.Not to mention, it's a really good business, and while airport security won't confiscate your cigarettes, they will definitely confiscate your lighter.Do you need a lighter to light a cigarette after you get off the plane?
After a few hours of sailing, the passengers who are addicted to smoking have long been suffocated, but there is smoke in their pockets and no fire, isn't this suffocating people?
At this time, who still dislikes a lighter that originally only sold for five cents and sold it for three yuan and five yuan, I didn't say it, pay for it, at least take two puffs and enjoy it, and then say that in comparison, the smoker passengers living in this era are definitely much happier than the smoker passengers thirty years later.ps: I suddenly found that before I knew it, the chapters of this book had reached 500 chapters, and dear book friends could receive the Medal of Light of the Great God of Lao Mo again.As long as it is a fully booked book friend, please click on the name of the author of the book "Hemo" on the right side of the homepage of this book, and after entering, you can see the option of "receiving the light of the great god" in the upper right corner, click in to get it.Lao Mo begs all book friends to delay a little time to receive Lao Mo's "Hemo Light" medal, the more people who receive it, the more Lao Mo's books are greatly liked by all book friends, so, please let Lao Mo be a little proud!
