From what I remember, its quite simple - like being at a train station. There’s signs to tell you where to go and what to do - there’s a big row of desks, all with a different destination on them, so make sure you join the right queue.

also, be sure to arrive 2 hours early :)

different countries may have different systems to ours.

oh, and don’t forget your passport ;)

Flying’s kind of a pain, but actually pretty simple. You get your tickets either online or at the front desk kiosk, check whatever bags you can’t carry on the plane with you, then head to the security check. Just remove your jacket, shoes, and anything metal you have on you, place all fluids in a clear plastic bag, and place your carry on luggage on the belt, then just head through. Take your stuff and then go to the gate; the gate should be on the ticket, if not, ask somebody at the airline or look for a schedule.

When you connect, it’s basically just getting whatever luggage you checked from baggage claim, maybe going through another security checkpoint, then go to your gate. Then, when you’re finally where you need to be, just take your bags and go.

Hope this helps!

thks people, this has helped, still alittle concerned by the fact i have to do the middle part in two hours, knowing my luck ill miss the plane or something silly, i presume i have to go through customs when i get to atlanta so that will take like an hour then i only have an hour to get on the second flight, thats wot worrys me, but i guess this happens all the time so it will be fine, i just freak bout this stuff and need to know everything if that makes sense

It’ll be fine, you usually spend about an hour and a half just sitting around waiting anyway lol

If you need any more help about what you can/can’t take, look on the website of airlines you’re going on.
