My First Flight: Reading Comprehension for Class 6 

Aditi could hardly sleep the night before her first flight. She was travelling with her parents from Bengaluru to Jaipur for her cousin’s wedding. Early in the morning, they reached the airport, where bright lights and large screens made her eyes widen with wonder. She watched planes take off and land through big glass windows. After check-in, the security officer scanned their bags, and Aditi felt like a traveller in a movie. When it was time to board, she followed the long walkway to the aircraft and felt the cool air-conditioning brush her face. Inside, she buckled her seat belt carefully. As the plane began to move, her heart raced with excitement. Soon they were soaring above the clouds, and Aditi looked out of the window to see tiny houses and winding rivers below. The flight attendant served juice and biscuits, and Aditi said “thank you” politely. Her mother explained how pilots talk to the control tower and how seat belts keep passengers safe. After an hour, the pilot announced their descent. Aditi felt her ears pop and laughed. When they landed, she clapped softly and whispered, “We really flew!” She helped her parents collect the luggage and thanked the crew while leaving. Later that night, she wrote in her diary about the magical experience of flying for the first time. She also pasted her boarding pass beside the page to remember the moment forever. Aditi told her friends she now wanted to visit every corner of India by air and learn how planes work. It was a journey she would never forget.
