What is the chances I ll get lost in an airport during an international flight?
I'm planning for a trip to Bangkok in May. I'm worried about a language barrier and not being able to read the signs in the airport on the way there and back. There are 2 stops in both directions. I'm hoping I ll be able to find other English speaking people to help me in my struggles. This is my first international flight, and I d be lying if I said I wasn't a bit nervous for this reason alone. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
I guess it depends which airports you'll be passing through on the way to Bangkok, but many airports have signs in English as well as the local language and one or two others. Try finding the website of the airports you'll be passing through. They may tell you what languages are used on the signs. Or tell us which airports they are, and someone here may have personal experience with them.
Many people who work in airports speak several languages, and English is likely to be one of them.
Pictures are universal, and English signs (plus many other languages) are used all over the world.
About zero. Every international airport in the world has signs in multiple languages, and including English.
Every international airport I've been to has multiple languages, including English, on the signs. I think you'll have very little trouble finding your way around.
Do you get lost at the grocery store?
English is the international language of aviation. Signs in all airports are in English- in the Bangkok airport, even the signs warning people not to get images of the King tattooed on them are in English. It won't be a struggle. When you get off each plane, there will probably be an airline employee standing right there to tell you what gate your connecting flight is at. If not, there will be big signboards overhead at locations along the concourse with all departing flight listed and the gate. All concourses in all airports are labeled A, B, C, D, etc. And the gates are shown as numbers- 1,2, 3, etc. Just follow the signs to your concourse and gate number.
All international airports I have been to have both their language and English language on their signs. I have also found their staff at information counters spoke English. I have had no problems understanding Where to go in international airports in Asia.
Slim to none. As long as you are paying attention to the signs and your surroundings you should be fine.
It depends
Even if the international airports you go to don't have the signs translated, there's an app you can get on your phone where all you have to do is point your camera at the sign and it'll translate for you.

- Do the earphone / headphones handed out during a flight need to be returned to the airline? Or is it ok to take them? On long flights, the flight attendants normally distribute earphones/ headphones. When landing at an airport to enter / return to a country, is it OK to "take" the earphones and make them mine permanently? Or does the airline need them back? I have always left the earphones on my seat before getting off the plane.
