Navigating an Airport

Find the time to vacation. In addition to grinding at the job and providing financially for your family, it's also about creating lasting memories with your loved ones. I know airports can sometimes be intimidating, but don't let that be a reason for not flying out for an adventure.

Here are some helpful tips on how to navigate through an airport with ease:

1) Ask to get dropped off at the airport terminal where your airline's name is located. (That way it will save you time walking long distances to get to your airline's check-in counter.)
2) With your passport and itinerary in hand locate a self-service kiosk to print out your boarding passes.
3) If needed, go to the airline's check-in counter and check in your baggage. (You can also ask for a wheelchair, or help printing a boarding pass if needed. This is also a good time to verify that your baggage will be sent to your final destination.) 
4) You will need to go through security, and then find your gate number that is written on your boarding pass or the flight boards located throughout the airport. Once you have arrived at your gate location, wait to board.
5) When they call your zone (located on your boarding pass), get in line, and hand them your boarding pass as you enter the plane.
6) Relax and enjoy the flight.

7) When you arrive, follow the signs to baggage claim, and get your baggage.

What if its a transfer flight?

If its a transfer flight, look at the flight boards, and check what gate/time your transfer flight is located. Then, wait for boarding time. Usually, you don't have to pick up your baggage until you arrive at your final destination.

What if its an international flight? 

If its an international flight, you will have to go though customs/immigration first. You will hand them your passport and paper they had you fill out on the airplane (A Customs Declaration form). Keep this for when you fly back.
~~~>Then,  go get your baggage, and go through security.

Now that you have completed the flight portion of the trip,  get/find a ride to your hotel/reservation destination and create those lasting memories. And if you ever decide to fly back, just start the steps all over again.



Tip: Arrive to the airport 1 hour earlier if its a domestic flight, and 2 hours earlier if its an international flight.
