Cultural Notes  文化注释

在美国乘飞机旅行非常方便，价格也比其它任何地方便宜。美国的州际及国际航空公司有几百家，全都是私营，各航空公司之间的竞争很激烈。据国际民航组织1986年统计，美国有3200架民航飞机，占世界总数的五分之一，占世界总航行里程的46.7%，占世界总旅客人数的64.7%.世界上10个最繁忙的机场中，美国占了8个。其顺序排列为：Chicago-O'Hare International（1）, Atlanta（2）, Los Angeles（3）, Dallas-Fort Worth（4）, New York-Kennedy International（6）, Newark, New Jersey（7）, Denver（8）和 San Francisco International（10）。?

在波士顿（Boston）、纽约（New York）和华盛顿（Washington）间的航班，不须预订，不须办理行李手续，甚至不须买票，可直接在飞机上买票，每小时都有航班。?
