I am thinking ahead to when my fiance will be flying here to the US. Because of work I will not be able to fly to my fiance's country and fly back to the US with her. My fiance does not speak nor read English. She has never flown nor traveled outside of her country. She will have 2 flight exchanges, one in Thailand and the other probably in China, Korea or Japan depending on the flight carrier. I am really concerned as to what to do to make sure she gets to Customs @ San Francisco airport from her home country. I tried to explain to her how to read flight #s and how to get to departure areas at the airports but it seems to just scare her. Has anyone had any experience with this dilemma and can anyone give me suggestions? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks VJers!

What other joy is there but being with the one you love

My parents have same problem about language. But what they do is the always book their ticket with wheelchair. This way they don't need to worry about connecting flights or anything.

Can you type our phrases for her to hand someone with her translations on the other side (I assume here you two have some sort of common language)?

That way she can do things like ask directions, ask for an interpretor at immigration, get soemthing to eat, find the bathroom etc

Good luck

Along with writing out phrases, I would suggest contacting the airline carrier for language assistance. There are also "meet and assist/greet" paid services in airports (not sure if all?) that take you where you need to go. I would check to see if they are offered and willing do what you need such as getting her to the next flight. Lastly, I would print out any maps of the airport, terminals, and gates that are offered online at the airport and airline websites so she can have a visual (at least that helps me).

Good luck

thank you...so far the replies have given me some ideas. Yes we do speak the same language and the writting out phrases as well as printing out maps of the airport are great ideas.

Go to google.com and click "images". Type narita international airport and you will find maps to the airport. This airport is very user friendly I might add :yes:
