Pack the Luggage You Need
Before traveling, you should be well prepared, so your first flight will go smoothly. You should pack your bags several days before the flight, not hours before the flight.
Do not carry unnecessary items, because that will only make your bag heavy and inconvenient. If you are confused about the items you want to bring, try to list first the items that will be used for your activities. Remember! pack your belongings a few days before departure.
Learn About Your Airline
Before the flight, it is important for you to know which airline you are going to use. You can find out through their website and download the app if necessary.
Browse all important information that will be useful to you, such as baggage allowances, security procedures, etc. Usually airlines have different regulatory policies, such as the maximum size and weight limits of the baggage you carry.
If you don't find out in advance, you might bring a suitcase with a size that exceeds the baggage size provisions of the airline you are going to use, and of course this can hamper your trip.
Try Not To Be Late
Estimate the time between traveling from home to arriving at the airport. Try not to be late. As a rule, you generally have to arrive at least two hours before inter-domestic flights, and 3 to 4 hours for international flights.
If you arrive early, at least you will be more relaxed to follow the step-by-step process from the time you check in until your flight time arrives.
Prepare Documents and Enjoy Every Process
After arriving at the airport, prepare the required documents and store them in a safe and easily accessible place. Go to the check-in counter to select your seat and items that you will store in your aircraft baggage or in your cabin baggage.
The check-in system can usually be done offline or online. If you have checked in online, you can bring a copy of your e-ticket and give it to the staff at the check-in counter. Airlines usually allow online check-in 24 hours before flight time.
After you finish at the check-in counter, you will be given a ticket for boarding. Go to the flight gate printed on your ticket. If you are confused, don't forget to ask the airport staff.
While at the airport you will go through several security checks by airport officials, to check your luggage. When you go through the security scan, you have to take off all your jewelry, such as watches, rings, and cellphones.
Be Calm and Don't Panic
While at the airport you are dealing with airport security, but try to be calm and behave politely. Do not use harsh words and challenge the officers, because you could be arrested and this could hinder your journey. Don't panic, because you don't carry prohibited items.
Stay relaxed and enjoy your first flight!
