Flying alone for first time, what do I do?

I'm pretty anxious to be honest. I'm scared I'll get lost in the airport or something and miss my flight…

I'll be flying from Oslo to Edinburgh.

If anyone has any tips about flying alone in general or these airports in particular, those would be very appreciated! I'd really like all kinds of advice/tips!

How old are you child 14?
Have your parents escort you to airline gate.
you can't READ the language of the country?
ASK people there.
Get to airport one day early if you don't.

Make sure you arrive at the airport well before the flight. Your details from the travel agent/airline will tell you which terminal to go to. Head over to departures, look for your flight (number and destination) on the board to find your boarding gate. Head over to your boarding gate. They will call your flight when it is boarding. When you get on, let the attendent know you are a little anxious. Enjoy the flight. It will go fine.

  • Plane ticket has first, middle and last name but my passport only has first and last name? I'm flying Scandinavian Airlines and my plane ticket has my first, middle, and last name but my passport only has my first and last name. Does anyone have any experience with this or think it will be an issue? I called the travel agency and they told me they could not do anything to correct the middle name. I was also thinking about bringing another form of ID like a birth certificate or social security card to be safe.
  • First time flying with stops? So is Christmas season and I'm traveling from the US to Mexico for the holidays, I have already flying from point A to point B but I never have from point A to point B and C ( or city stops) so I'm nervous. How early have to be on the airport? Is one hour enough to switch from one plane to other? How long can it take on immigration and still have to take the second plane?
  • Advice for first time flight alone? I'm 18 and although a frequent flyer I'm about to fly alone for the first time ever and to make it worse the flight is 15 hours the longest I've ever done before is 11 with family what can I do since I won't know anyone?
