How To Navigate Your First Time Through An Airport: A Beginner’s Guide

Can I use my student Id if I forget my id?

Travelled solo to 10 countries now...still have the fear of missing flight 😂

If you have a connecting flight, will your bags be checked again? Or are they going to transfer it for you to the next plane without checking?

Thank you! Question, if me and a family member purchase tickets online together, via Southwest, if we check in 24 hrs in advance, does Southwest seat us together?

Well, for international flights, your first step after getting off is to go through immigration and customs, THEN baggage claim!

Imma be stressed flying out to DIA because I keep hearing that you can easily get lost there 😅

Great information. Been a loooong time since I’ve flown. A lot of changes since back in the day. This has been very helpful. Appreciate it.

thank you so much for this video. my boyfriend and I are taking our first flight this October and I’ve been so worried about it🥲

i’m 21 going by myself i’m so scared lmaoao😊

Connecting flights you still havecto go through security!

It's nice to know I'm not the only person who is like a deer in headlights when I get to the airport.

Going to Cancun soon. I am arriving from LAX, while my brother is arriving an hour later from Seattle. Can I chill out inside the airport, while waiting?

Thank you soooo much Ben .im 31 and im flying for the first time without my partner by my side and im so nervous.this video really calmed me down so much.

if I have camera gear (canon 90 d slr, with shot gun mic, batteries, and charger, do you need a separate small camera case? and while going through TSA, do you need to place that camera case on a separate bin? or do I have to take out the individual camera items and then put them in a bin? Or can I leave my lap top, and all my camera stuff in my carry-on backpack and place the whole backpack in a bin for scanning?

Fine doesn’t bother me go onto the airport doesn’t bother me it’s getting off the plane and having to take a train to where you’re getting picked up at how do you know what train to get on and where?

My fiance and I are taking our very first plane trip in October and i've been trying to make a playlist of helpful videos to help prepare us. This video has helped to ease some of my anxiety! Im adding this to my playlist. Thank you so much!

I haven’t flown in 10 years and this will be my first time flying alone. This was very helpful thank you

I'm taking a trip soon and won't be taking any carry on bags with me. Just my jacket. I need to bring a USB charging cord and plug in or a portable power bank so I can charge my cell phone? How can I get these through TSA without a carry-on bag?

thank you so much Ben. Its my first time flying alone im 13 and im scared, but luckily you helped me with this excellent guide!

I may be 2 years late but will I need to take out a brand new ear piercing to get through security?

Thank you for all the detail in this video. You made no assumptions that genuine first time flyers would know ANYTHING! Thankyou. It was exactly what I was looking for!

Im leaving on the 1st of Aug. I’m very nervous about going alone on my first time. I watched the whole video and now im a little more at ease. I will definitely update on how it goes.

Before boarding will the employees let each passenger size their cabin luggage to make sure it's within the size parameters on their website?

Any advice for the minor crowds traveling for their first time I’m 17 have never been in an airport nor traveled on a plane!

Am I allowed to bring a chain wallet in my carry on ?

Chicago O hare needs better instruction

Thank you for making this video! Very helpful.

You did not cover how to handle things if you are handicapped. I must use a walking stick, but can only walk about 40 ft without a wheel chair or transport chair.

Okay so I didn’t get any of this 😝

Real I.D is May 2025 Ben.

I’ve travelled a lot but never in America until now so this was interesting to watch 😃

For the connecting flight do I need to collect my bag again? Or will I collect it at the final destination?

doing gods work ❤

Thank you so much for the info

Great video. 100%.

thank you !!! tomorrow will be the first time flying by myself and i really appreciate the help

I know Americans hate public transport and are addicted to driving, but you should also remember to follow the signs directing to bus/train connections if you're using public transport services.

What part is the most stressful to you?

Who else came here even though they know how to go through an airport?

do i need to print off luggage tags for my carry on and personal bags?

i appreciate this so much! i’m traveling by myself for the first time in two days and i remember TSA being really stressful bc it can be fast paced and staff can be mean.

Can i enter any check in i want for international flight?

I’m 14 I’m so lost

Yes junio 25

Thanks for the help. flew from denver to ohio when I was a teen and knowing how much denver has been changing each year this helps. This time from denver to San Jose to see my girlfriend and my head is trying to remember what to do. Thanks again. Went though southwest so I think I'll be good just be calm
