To all travellers : How to check in at airport for a flight (first time flying..sorry!)?

I know the same thing happened to me when I flew the fist time alone, scared. You take all of your luggage up to the front counter so that it can be taken and checked, also show your tickets and pport to them as well. They can check to see if there are any delays or cancellations to any of your flights. They will keep your checked luggage and put it on the plane. Then you go to the security check area, there will probably be a big line, so just line up behind them. This is where the TSA will check your carry on- if you have one. You empty out your pockets and put everything on a tray that will be ex rayed. Oh and they require that everyone takes off their shoes now- just put them in the tray with everything in your pockets. Step through the metal detector, collect your shoes and stuff from the tray and put your shoes back on. After that you go and find the gate that you will be flying from. I don't know where your from or how big the air port is but there will be signs that will tell you where to go, just look at your ticket to see what gate you need to go to, ask if you can't find it, I did and an employee pointed me in the direction to go- really helped. When you find the gate you can just go and sit down in one of the chairs. Don't be afraid to ask questions if you aren't sure about where your gate is or anything else, they are there to help people with things like that. Hope I helped, have fun :).
