What do you do at the airport if you have booked ur flight ticket online?

This is my first time traveling by myself and booking a flight ticket online

What do you do next ?

Do you print the online flight ticket at home then go straight to the boarding door at the airport ?

Or do you have to wait in line for confirmation or boarding pass before going to the boarding door ?

Im so confused with everything. So please just explain the process from booking the flight online to the airport.



Answer 1 :
You don't need to print you e-ticket, although it is useful if planning to check-in at the airport. Or to keep as reference if you have checked in online and have you boarding pass(es). If the latter, then when you arrive at the airport, head for the check-in area, and either use the check-in terminals (if they have them!) or stand in line for the check-in desks. If checking in online, print you boarding pass and when you get to the airport, head for the baggage drop in if you have checked luggage, or straight to security if you have only carry on luggage.


Answer 2 :
you print the flight tiicket (which a e-ticcket()
now usually 24 hours before the flight you can print a boarding pass
(or you can do that at the airport)
then you will need to show the boarding pass to TSA secuirty
after checking (and paying for checking ) your luggage
then you go to the gate and when your flight is called
you give the boarding pass to gate agent


Answer 3 :
Print your ticket out

Check in with youre ticket

They will give you a boarding pass with gate number


Answer 4 :
Print your online ticket at home. Make sure that you also have the return ticket printed as sometimes it can be difficult to get computer access and a printer where you are going. There is usually of cutoff time of a few hours where the airline will no longer allow printing of the ticket before the flight. Make sure you have your passport if that is needed or any other identification that is required. After you do it a few times, it's no different than catching the bus. Though I do still like coming in to land at night and watching the lights.


The next thing to check is what regulations there are for baggage, weight, size, contents. Read the FAQs on your airlines site carefully.

If you are putting a bag into the luggage hold of the plane you will have to go to your airlines check in desk to leave it in. If it is too heavy, you may be charged extra.

If you are just bringing a carry on bag, make sure it's the right size or you may be told that you have to put it in the hold.

You show your passport and ticket to go into the waiting area from where the planes will be leaving. you will have to put your bag through a x-ray machine, remove jewellery, coins and possibly your shoes. You then go to the gate from where your plane is leaving. There will be signs with your flight number, which gate it is leaving from and the time that they will allow boarding. You will need to show your passport and ticket again at the gate where they will tear the ticket.

It's natural to be confused the first time you do something. Just make sure you get to the airport in plenty of time. And ask questions of airport personnel if you need to. To be honest, if you know how to use the internet you'll be able to figure out how to use the airport.
