Hello Steemian

Well, so you don't experience it, here are simple tips you need to know when boarding a plane for the first time. These tips apply to domestic flights.

First, get your airline tickets ready. The average current ticket purchases can be made online. When you finish buying online, an electronic ticket will be sent to your email. Preferably, this ticket you print (print). However, if you buy at a travel agent, usually the buyer already get a print ticket.

In some airports, such as Soekarno Hatta Airport, Cengkareng, the airport is divided into several terminals. Know the airlines you want to ride there at the terminal. When entering the terminal, you just show the ticket to the officer to get inside.

Therefore, you should print the printed ticket or bag. Because, in crowded visitors, you have to queue to get into the terminal. It's good you have prepared a ticket to not spend time in line just to find a ticket in the bag.

Second, come to the airport no later than an hour before departure. The sooner it is better to avoid the line when entering the airport terminal and also when the check-in queue. Better to wait in the boarding room (waiting room) than you have to hurry, let alone to missed the plane.

Several airlines in Indonesia are now applying online check-in that allows guests to no longer need to queue at check-in. However, not all airlines provide this facility.

Third, make sure the bag you carry isn't too much. Get used to carrying bags at most two bags. Small handbag to store wallets, mobile phones, and the like. While one is a big bag to put clothes and so on.

This will make it easier for you when carrying bags. Because, at the airport you have to pass the goods check. If you have a lot of luggage, then separate the items that are not too valuable to the bag itself and put into the trunk.

Also make sure the quota of kilograms of baggage you get. There are also airlines that don't provide luggage facilities for free.

Fourth, check in at available counter. Prepare ID card and print tickets while queuing for check-in tickets. If confused which counter should you go, just ask the officer. Also prepare a bag that will enter the trunk.

Submit your ID card and print-out your airfare to the check-in clerk. After that, you will get a boarding pass (ticket to get into the plane). Notice the seat number and gate (gate) of departure listed on the boarding pass.

After getting this boarding pass, don't let your identity (KTP) left at the check-in counter. Many people are in a hurry after getting boarding passes, just go away and forget to take back the ID card.

For baggage, place the bag on the scales next to the clerk. Later bag will be labeled and you will get proof of bag number entering baggage. Don't get rid of this number because it will come in handy when you pick up your bag.

Fifth, pay airport tax. Some airports, for airport tax are directly paid at counter check-in. But there are also some airports that apply the airport tax checking counter separately. The amount of airport tax is different for each airport. At Soekarno Hatta Airport, airport tax is charged Rp 40,000.

Sixth, it's time to go to the boarding room. The waiting room to board this plane is usually separated by gate. Before entering boarding room, once again you have to pass inspection of good.

Then sit in accordance with the gate that has been determined. The gate number is on the boarding pass. If unsure, ask the officer who guarded the gate. Gate numbers are also usually listed on the notice board.
You can match the number of the aircraft with the gate number. On this board, you can also find out the hours of departure and also the status of your plane.

Seventh, listen to announcements about the status of your aircraft. Don't just listen to the plane route, but also listen to the flight number. If unsure, try asking the person next to you. Ask if he will be on the same plane.

If yes, then ask politely to help you to remind yourself when it's time to board a plane. Don't forget to turn off the mobile phone before you board the plane. When it's time to board the plane, immediately queue in front of the door boarding. Prepare ID card and boarding pass.

After matching the name on the ID with the boarding pass, then your boarding pass will be torn by the officer. Partly taken officers, the rest you can save. Don't forget, the number of baggage bag pieces don't get taken officers.

Eighth, go into the plane. Check back your seat number. If your seat is in the starting number, go up the front door. While the middle number to the end (usually from number 21), up from the back door.

After finding your seat, place your bag in the trunk of the cabin above. If a small bag, then do not need to be placed on top of the cabin. Take it with you when you sit down. Sit in a predetermined seat and wear a seat belt.

Ninth, shortly before takeoff, the crew will provide flight safety instructions. Watch carefully and read the safety instructions on the airplane bench.

When taking off, eat candy to reduce the pressure on your ears. You are only allowed to remove the seat belt or walk on the plane, if the seat belt mark is dead.
But you should keep the seat belt on the plane. For food and drink, not all airlines provide it. It could be if you want to bring a stock of drinks or snacks.

On domestic flights, medium-size mineral bottles are still allowed to be brought into the plane. While for soft drinks in cans packaging isn't allowed.

Tenth, get there, don't rush off the seat belt. Release if the plane is completely stopped and the sign of wearing the seat belt is turned off. After that you can take the bag on top of the cabin.

Be patient while picking up your bag or waiting for the plane door to open. Then continue the journey to the baggage claim place. If your luggage is not much, then no need to use trolly (stroller).

Some airports have several baggage-taking areas. Make sure you wait in the area that matches your plane number. After getting your bags, you can get out of the airport. But before exiting, you must show the proof of luggage storage number to the clerk.
