The good news is that travel might become smarter by that time. The European airline（航空公司） easyJet has made some predictions（预测） and released（发布） “easyJet 2070： The Future Travel Report”. Let’s take a look at some mind-blowing ideas. Heartbeat passports（心跳护照） Paper passports will be a thing of the past. You will use “heartbeat passports” instead. According to experts， everyone’s heartbeat is different. So the data will be used to tell who you are. More comfortable flights The seats on the plane will no longer be “one size fits all”. You’ll actually be able to book a seat according to your body type. The seat might even be able to cool or warm you to your favourite temperature. There will also be no more screens on the back of your seats. A futuristic device（未来派的设备） could show movies straight in front of your eyes. Printed clothes and food If you hate packing（打包） clothes， you may not need to do it in the future. Before you fly， you will have a body scan. And upon arrival， you’ll find a wardrobe filled with 3D-printed clothes in your size. When you leave， the clothes can be recycled and reprinted for the next person. You can also 3D print whatever you want to eat. Bring history back to life If you like to visit historic sites（历史古迹）， augmented reality（增强现实） will change the game. Wearing a headset， you can see what happened at a historic site， such as a battle. You may even be able to sit among the cheering people at the first Olympic Games. （　　）1.
