    Arrive at the airport an hour or two ahead of your boarding time. Wear shoes that can come off easy and be put on easily (makes it quicker during security check), don't put any liquids or gels in carry on, don't put any sharp objects in carry on, don't put any metal objects in your pocket, have your id out or in an easily accessible place. After you get off of the first plane, ask the first airline worker for directions to your next gate. Don't worry about checked bags, they will be put onto your next plane, just remember to take your carry on bags off of the first plane. Get to your next gate early and just wait for your plane. When arriving at LAX, find the baggage claim and wait for your bag. Also, tie a ribbon or something to your bag ahead of time so that you can easily spot it amongst the other bags. Most importantly, if you get motion sickness easily, take Dramamine before your first flight.

    ok 1 hour before you go on the plane i would highly recomend taking sutifed and mucusnex just for your ears cause it might hurt a little when you decend on the plane but it doesnt happen to everyone i would just do this to be safe. plnes arn't that badd i'v been on them..1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8 times! just bring like an i pod or laptop orplaying cards or a notebook to draw in..anything like that..you will get a drink on it anything really..and they MIGHT give you a snack it matters what airline you are going on.

    but pleasee don't worry! it will be okay and nothing will happen...good luck!

    Relax. Enjoy the thrill of take off and landing. Riding is actually very boring. Follow instructions to the letter and pay attention to the staff.

    planes are extremely safe. trust the pilots, and just know that you are much safer in the air than on the ground.
