I'm going to be flying alone soon and i'm really nervous,

Nigga just chill. Get there early and check your flight status. Check what your airline policy on baggage is. If you need to check baggage be sure to check that. If not, just print your boarding passes at home. Bring ID to go through security (also make sure you go through the right security line for the gate that your flight is going from). After you get through security grab a drink (if you're of age) and some food. Find your gate first.

>I'm going to be flying alone soon and i'm really nervous, how do you know where to go and what to do?

Read the damn signs. Like, shits labeled it's not like they will let you on the wrong plane

Which airport are you flying from? Google it and see if it's busy or not.
In any case, you should be there 2 hours prior to take off.

These may vary a bit for different airports but it's generally:

After you pass security you will be funneled into passport check.
After that you see which gate you are flying from.
Go to that gate and wait for boarding. Socialize with people if the opportunity arises.

And yes.

>read signs
>they won't let you if you're not supposed to be there

Also you can always ask staff.

Note: eat or drink BEFORE going to the airport, shit's expensive
1. Show up an hour or two before your plane leaves
2. go through security
3. Get to gate of your plane
4. dick around on a laptop or whatever until your plane takes off

Haha! It's rocket science.

Check in online for your flight so they don't give your seat to someone else and leave you stuck at the airport.

Print boarding passes at home or go to counter of the airline you're flying on and ask them to give them to you.

Go to security line. Take off all your clothes and have your anus thoroughly searched.

Put all your clothes back on. Look for your Flight Number under the Departures board. Make sure that the flight is still on time and note the gate number shown on the board.

Look at signs to go to the correct gate number. Find gate. Sit down by gate and wait for flight to arrive.

They will announce the flight from the gate podium, open up the jetway and start boarding people. Boarding is the airplane industry lingo for "getting people onto the plane."

You'll be in a boarding group. When they call your group, get in line using your feet.

Hand your boarding pass to the lady or gay man at the podium. They will scan it and let you onto the jetway.

Using your feet, walk down the jetway. At the end of it there will be an airplane.

Enter the airplane and go to your assigned seat. There are little placards above each row with symbols on them. Those symbols are things such as letters and numbers. The symbols on your ticket will match the symbols over the row.

There will be large open shelving above each of the seats. This is where your bags go. It is not where you will ride during the flight. Put your bags up there.

Turn your body sideways, and again using your feet, position your body in front of your designated seat. Lean slightly forward while bending your knees at the same time in order to perform the act of sitting down in the seat.

There will be two short, flat blue or black rope type devices fastened to either side of the seat. This is called a "seat belt." The two halves connect together to form a solid rope. Be sure to connect each half together over the top of your lap.

Although I've been thrown for quite the loop a couple times at airports in other countries.

An hour?

I'm a paranoid 3-hours early guys.

Never missed a flight. Even so, I've been close, to no fault of mine.

Some people live in areas where they need to drive 1-2 hours to get to an airport. In that case you need at least an hour buffer, in case you get into a traffic jam or whatever.
