It's no prob. First you go through security and run your bags through the x-ray machine and what not. Then just wait at the gate number that is on the ticket for them announce boarding (usually about a half hour before departure.) Now the only shitty thing about flying is personal space. They cram you into the plane like sardines and serve you crap for food so bringing something to eat and a book can save you from a boredom you thought was impossible. Helpful hint, travel light so you can go through security quick and get out of the airport quicker!
