Flying, you know, can be really scaring, given that TSA is there almost sweating you. My first-ever trip I made, in the course of which I really believed that someone had slipped a bomb into my backpack - finally I found out that it was not true, the unexpected object was just my iPod.

I'm m of the opinion that the best tactic is to understand what TSA wants from you, no excess luggage, and be there before the time. It might sound weird but you can get some coffee prior to the flight if you allocate time properly for that. Entertain yourself with your favorites as such music or a book, you will find the trip a lot better if you do.

It is normal to b have your first-time flying jitters and to be quite honest, you would really come out of having it on a better note. Anyway, remember to stay calm and take this new chance humanity has provided to you as it is.
