dont forget your ID

arrive to the airport with plenty of time to check in and make it through securtity... an hour before your flight should be enough

you cant bring liquids on the plane in your carry on unless its less than 3oz and the items that are liquid are in a ziplock bag

wear shoes that are easy to take off in security line

wear something that will keep you warm on the plane but that u can remove if its too warm... wear layers

bring gum to chew so your ears dont pop

never leave you bags unattended and never take or help anyone you dont know with their bags

I love to sit by the window when I fly..gives me something to look at :o)

buy yourself a head cousin...the ones that are made for airplanes and are U shaped. very comfortable...and you can use it in the car as well....other than that, go to the washroom before getting in because its not easy to go during turbulances. other that that, its really fun youll love it

Just take a deep breath :) I love flying on planes I think its great, and especially for your first time, it'll be an amazing experiance. If you get nervous about the flight just know that it is more likely to get in a car crash than a plane crash! People fly every day. Especially celebs. Sit back and enjoy your flight - and your holiday!


dmoney
you can not roll down the windows and there is no getting out to stretch your legs.lol


Team Edward!
don't worry that is a very fast flight trust me it's almost like being in a car, don't worry at all.


Ed the freshman (5 MoRe DaYs)
Use the bathroom before you get on. Airplane bathrooms are too small. Also don't be afraid if the plane shakes a little it's just turbulence. I had my first plane ride last summer. But it was about nine hours talk about torture.

If you get sick a few days later, what does that have to do with the plane ride? Meh, anyway. If it's your first time, get a window seat.

I swear you will be fine!
BELIEVE ME...I am 35 years old and just took my first flight on July 31st..I was terrified. I cried for weeks before hand.
But the day arrived and I got to the airport (I was flying alone to back home St. Louis to Philly...1:45 minute flight.) I was OK.
I just psyched myself up , took my anxiety pill and a dramamine.
I took an aisle seat...So I could feel like I had more room. I got two great seatmates who talked me through everything.

I also had my MP3 player ..but I was so interested in what the flight attendants or pilots were saying or even my seatmates....I didnt listen much at all.. Before I knew it..we were 10 minutes to our approach!
I was AMAZED!!!!!!!!!!
I did get a little nervous when it got bumpy...but I just remembered that it is NORMAL!
I went on Southwest Airlines...
It sure beat driving 14 hours!!
And it was nice seeing my parents in Philly when I landed..and just 2 hours previous..I was in St. Louis!
Good luck!

chew gum this helps motion sickness.... have a barf bag near by just in case gum doesn't work. take a book to read... prepare to sleep in case the book gets boring... eat before you get on plane some airlines are cheap and don't feed you... dress comfortably.... watch the movies they show...have fun...

oohh! perfect for me to answer.. my daddy's a pilot! :)) It's PERFECTLY safe. they go over ever inch of the plane before it leaves the gate. just remember on the take off to lean back in your chair. The first time (when I was 5) the take off scared me. but seriously it's so much fun. try to grab a window seat it's soooo cool.

Very smart to start out small and work your way to longer flights. It's thrilling to say the least for the first one and then afterwards it's a piece of cake. Listen to the flight attendants as they explain safety procedures in case of an emergency. Nothing too major than that. Ask for a second helping of pretzels if they offer them still for free unless it's already cancelled due to high gas prices. Safe first trip and enjoy!!


Oracle
There are two things I always make sure I do. 1) Chew gum during the flight. Your ears can get clogged up at the high altitude. Chewing helps pop your ears. (That's why they serve peanuts.) 2) Don't take off your shoes. Your feet swell slightly. If you keep your shoes on you won't even notice. But if you take them off you will have a little trouble putting them back on.


Miss Iris
You'll have the time of your life!
I love flying, I do it as often as I can.
Have a camera to take pictures of the amazing views, and defintely dress warm because it tends to be cold up in the sky :)
its amazing, nothing to worry about.
oh and watch out for your bags lol

just Relax and enjoy it, its awesome being up there

You should know all the basic stuff like the airport goes:

Check in-
Wait a while get something to eat maybe-
Security-
Departures-
Go to your gate-

Any the rest is easy.

You should know that your only aloud 100ml of liquid in a single container. Each of the containers must be put in a 15x20 seethrough bag. For your hand luggage that is.

All the normal stuuf like your not aloud sharp stuff in your hand luggage, it must be put in your suitcase.

My tips: Dont put anything extremly valuable or breakable in your luggage because the bags do get threw about without care.

Arrive an hour or two early because you need to check in.

If you want you can go on to the website and check what you are and aren't allowed.

You should take a book maybe and some sweeties cus your gona need to suck them when the plane is taking off and landing. Orelse you'll get sore ears. This happens because of the silly cabin pressure change.

The most important one.
Enjoy yor flight.

Just sit back and relax! if you have an ipod, i would suggest listening to it. You cant turn on your electronics right away, so just listen until the people say you can. flying isn't really that scary... have fun!

Don't wear a lot of metal stuff that will set off the machine when you go thru security.

Wear comfy shoes that are easy to put on and take off.

Laptops have to be taken out of their carrying bags and sent thru the xray machine separately.

Don't try to take a bottle of water thru security; it will be confiscated.

All liquids and gels have to be in containers smaller than 3 oz each, and they all have to fit in 1 zipped, quart-size ziplock bag.

Most sharp objects are forbidden.

Remember to be courteous to other passengers on the plane. The rule of thumb is pretty much that the people sitting in front of you get off the plane before you. Also, if someone brings along some reading material, don't try to carry on a conversation with them.

Relax and enjoy.

lolz, alright simple...
the food is disgusting, not your idea of gourmet.
The view is awesome! People look like ants!


P.S. If you are airsick, you wouldn't have such a good time... I'm not quite sure how that would feel cuz I never got airsick before. Just carsick.


♥♥♥♥♥♥♫♪
just get on the plain...and try to go to sleep and time would go by FAST...... and if you are scared of hights dont sit next to the window?...
