Tips for First Time Flyers
Flying is truly a fantastic and enjoyable experience for first time flyers so we have put a short guide or what you’ll need when arriving and checking in to help first time flyers before taking to the skies.
Arriving at the Airport
There are various terminals at most airports in the UK, your ticket should have all the details of which departure terminal you will be boarding from. The information boards or display screens will also have this information available for everyone to see and frequent announcements are made to inform passengers.
Airport Security
The department of Transport have issued the latest security measures and it’s important for everyone to be aware of this.
Check In
As soon as you arrive at the correct terminal you will need to go to the right check in desk, the desk will have your flight displayed above it. The customer check in agent will print your boarding pass or card and ask you some security questions to prove your identity (your passport and ticket should be sufficient). They will also weigh and tag your luggage with your flight information. Self-service check in kiosks are also available which are quick and easy.
Flight Tickets
Your flight tickets should include the following: –
Hand Luggage
There are restrictions for hand luggage which currently apply in all UK airports. You are normally allowed to take one item of hand luggage on board not exceeding 56cm x 45cm x 25cm’s.
Hold Luggage
These will travel in the hold of the airplane and won’t be seen until you arrive at your destination airport. This will include suitcases / large rucksacks. You can also be charged if you go over the baggage weight allowance limit. Check with your airline as these can vary from airline to airline.
Correct Gate and Boarding
Gate Signs and Information screens will always display the correct gate number for boarding the plane before the flight departure. The will be a lounge area to wait in comfort until it’s the time to board when the airline customer attendants will call you to board the airplane. Once you get to the plane the airline cabin crew will check the rest of the boarding card / pass and show you to your seat.
Arrivals
Upon getting to your destination airport and leave the plane, you will be asked to show your passport to security officials before you go to reclaim your luggage. Information screens at arrivals will show your flight details and which carousel you can collect your luggage. Once you have collected your luggage you are free to pass through customs and into the arrivals to continue your journey.
Please note all airlines are different and this is only a guide to help first time flyers because not everyone is a frequent flyer.
