carrying those things are checked that's the place in the airport where that sort of thing is covered so there's usually there's usually a form that you fill out when you enter a country and it'll say do you need to declare anything so to declare means to announce there's something you are carrying or something you need to explain to the people who are in the country uh to the border staff the

in business class layover the next word is layover layover a layover is a period of time between two flights presumably at an airport so if you are flying for example from like um i don't know from

flight to london you're connecting flight that period of time between your two flights is called a layover so typically people want to have a short layover a fairly short layover so they have time to transfer to their next flight or maybe they want to take a break from being on a plane so a layover typically a short layover is good typically long layovers are bad but you might have a cheap flight
