Cabin
Here is a cabin. This is the room where you passengers are.
It is air-conditioned so that everyone feels comfortable to enjoy the flight.
When you fly overseas, you should be in the seat for many hours. There are many things designed for a long flight. There are televisions on the ceiling or walls so that you can watch movies. On the armrest you can find switches with different channels so you can listen to music or the news. There is also a switch for a reading light. And if you get sick, there is a switch you can press to call the flight attendants. There are also instructions located in the seat about how to put on a life preserver and what to do in an emergency.

Cargo room
During the flight no one can go into the cargo room.
There are two types of cargo -- passenger cargo and airfreight cargo. Most of the cargo is held in containers so that it does not take long to be loaded or unloaded. Some planes do not take passengers, and take cargo only.
