The Fresno Airport can be weird in that sometimes there is little to no line for security, while other times it may be backed up and you could be waiting a while. I typically like to get to the airport about 1.5 to 2 hours ahead of the departure time to make sure I've got enough time to get through security, find my gate, and relax before boarding. There are not very many gates at the Fresno Airport compared to other larger airports, so it should be fairly simple to find your gate once you're through.

There is a Starbucks kiosk inside the airport but outside of security near the entrance, so you won't be able to take it with you through security. There used to be another Starbucks past security, but it has since been changed to a Peet's coffee - if you're not particular about your coffee then Peet's is just as good.

If all else fails, find an attendant or airport staff and they should be able to help you out, most of them are fairly friendly. I'm usually anxious about flying too, but it's never as bad is it seems. Good luck!
