[{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1507732605644","data":"It has come to my attention that many people are nervous when they visit the airport for the first time, for a variety of reasons. From the tight security to the plush ornate design of the interiors, the general stark cleanliness of the surroundings and the lack of chaos that us Indians are used to in a bus or train station. It feels completely new and puts you on your guard, because it is simply human tendency to fear the unknown, it is perfectly alright. But you don't have to worry, because as someone privileged enough to fly enough times around the world, I have a few tips for you to remember as you head towards your first flight. <\/p>1. Make a list of things you need: <\/b> <\/p>You get used to this, but if this is your first ever time flying, sit down, take a piece of paper and a pen and write down everything you'll need to fly. Don't write what you'll pack, but what you actually need to make the trip, like your ticket, your ID and if you're traveling abroad, your Passport. This is important because it is often very easy to forget things when you're nervous about flying the first time, and before you begin the trip, crosscheck multiple times in a cool and calm manner, there is no need to panic. Speaking of staying calm, however...<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1507735788117","data":"59de44d053403"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1507735790249","data":"2. Stay calm, there is no reason to panic: <\/b><\/p>I realise people say that especially when there are plenty of reasons to panic, but in this case, there are none. The airport is a safe zone unless you're smuggling something, so don't actually do that. Enjoy the sights, get shocked at the prices on the menu in the varied cafes and restaurants that dot the place and find a nice chair you can sit on. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1507737456507","data":"59de44df6a284"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1507737458699","data":"3. Security Checks are a deterrent: <\/b> <\/p>And they are there for your safety, so take comfort in that fact. Security checks can get really bothersome, but make sure you follow instructions when you are asked to do something and ensure that you and your fellow passengers are cleared through security as soon as possible. You will most likely be asked to deposit your phone, wallet and laptop in a tray available at the security clearance desk, so do it, and wait in line for your turn. If something happens, answer the questions you are asked as truthfully as you can. Remember, you have done nothing wrong, therefore you have no reason to fear. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1507737597196","data":"59de44f9c2bb2"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1507737599034","data":"4. Don't hesitate to ask for help: <\/b> <\/p>One good thing about airports is that you can always rely on someone being close by who can help you out if you are confused and do not know which way to go. Before you get your boarding pass, airliners usually have people spread out near their counters who will ask you if you need help, alternatively you could go to them and ask for help as well. There's no shame in being a little lost and asking for help, therefore do not worry if you do not know what to do once you get through the initial security and are headed towards picking your boarding pass. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1507737717813","data":"59de451fd88cc"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1507737719529","data":"5. Remember to have fun: <\/b> <\/p>If you are a first time flyer, you will experience the result of many decades of research into aviation in action as you fasten your seat belts in the aircraft cabin. The thrill of the aircraft attaining high speeds and the force you feel on your body as the aircraft takes off, as well as the lightness in your body when it starts descending is an incredible experience, one which can be scary at first. Remember that flying remains the safest way humans have travelled, and that you are in safe hands with an industry that has many regulations to check and prevent anything untoward from happening. <\/p>Oh, and do ask your fellow passenger if you could have the window seat just for take off, since it is your first time. More often than not, they'll agree. Have fun! <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1507738807973","data":"59de4538aef5c"}]
