There are a few things you need to know before you fly. If you don't travel often, knowing what the whole process entails will ensure you arrive at your destination without any issues.

First of all, make sure you have the right flight hour. Try to arrive at the airport early, because the whole process will take some time. Generally, you should be at the airport with about 2 hours before your flight is scheduled.

You can make things easier by checking-in online. This service is not always offered, but more and more companies allow their passengers to take advantage of it. Check out your airline's website for more information. Sometimes, mobile check-in is also available.

Make sure you have all the needed documentation on you. You will be screened and asked to show an identification such as your passport in order to be allowed on the plane.

Even if you go on vacation, avoid taking too many bags with you. Keep the things you need on the plane in a small bag, separate from the rest. Be prepared to remove your watch or jewelry so that the screening process goes smoothly.

If you have a long flight ahead, wear comfortable clothes that allow you to breathe. Your shows should also be comfortable, and flat sandals or sport shoes are the best idea for a vacation.

Keep everything organized and easy to reach. Airports are busy and could make you feel overwhelmed. Make sure you know exactly where each item is, and place your money in separate pockets of your hand luggage.

If there is anything that you are unsure of, call your airline and ask. It's better to be safe than sorry, especially when you planned an exotic vacation or an important business trip.
