Re: First time flying ????
Why? Not everyone is a world traveller. And don't forget we all had to take our first flight at some time. Did you know exactly what to do the first time you flew?

The first time a flew anywhere I got a seat next to the wing exit and was sat directly facing a woman working her Rosary beads so hard see looked like she was going to rub the colour off them... not exactly settling for any first flight nerves.

If the aircraft's wing shakes during flight it means it's going to fall off...

As I say can you imagine now sending a kid off on the tube to catch a plane on their own! Bizarre.

Re: First time flying ????
I was 18 and on my own on my first flight. I did it all myself (aren't I clever 
)
It's hardly rocket science?
Go to airport.
Check in. (Here they give you huge clues like go through security and board at gate x)
Security.
Look in shops until monitor says "boarding".
Go to gate x.
Get on damn plane.
Sit on arse for hours on end.
Get off plane.
Follow the masses to passport control.
Get bags.
Leave airport.
