The Airport Process First planning a plane trip can be quite extreme, especially during the airport process. Long lines and pushy agents can make the airport navigation process a not-so-desirable experience. My quick guide will help you plan accordingly and get through the airport without holding up the queue, and you will “fly” through this part of your trip with ease! The very first thing you need to do is purchase your ticket in advance. You can do this through an airline travel agency or online. Purchasing your ticket online should give you the option to print your boarding pass, which is highly recommended. There may also be special discounts when purchasing tickets. The next thing to do to be prepared is to pack your bags. Most airports only allow you to bring a small carry-on bag with you on board the plane. There is much more to prepare. Some precautions before reaching the airport would be to wear slip-on shoes which will be easier to remove during the security line. I would also recommend that they were comfortable as you may have to stand in line longer. Also avoid wearing metal belts or jewellery, but if you do you will have to remove them at security. Make sure you package liquids and gels appropriately and that the liquids are in a zip-lock plastic bag. An important thing to do is to pack your bags in an organized way, so if security officers open your bags, they can simply check them and won't have to search through your bag. You should always arrive at the airport two to three hours before your flight departure time. You can never be sure of delays or how long check-in or security checks… middle of paper… comfortable clothes you will be sitting in for a while. Some people also prefer to carry chewing gum with them because their ears burst. Once it's time to leave the plane, try to be patient when getting off. Try to collect your bags as quickly as possible and get off the plane immediately so others can pass. If you have another plane to catch make sure you find the departure time of your next flight, but if you are done for the day you can go and get your bags where they will be returned. Make sure you take the right luggage. Now that you're done with the airport paperwork, it's time to enjoy the rest of your travel experience! You may have learned a lot from your first airport process, and it gets easier as you go more often. The number one thing is to always be prepared and I hope the steps outlined in my quick guide will allow you to have a great travel experience!
