Is this your first time taking a flight?

Here’s What You Need to Know Before You Fly

If you’ve never traveled by air before, it can feel confusing or even scary. What should you pack? How early should you arrive? What happens at the airport?

Don’t worry, everyone starts somewhere. At Skylinkup, we’re here to guide and support new travelers, even if you’ve never stepped into an airport before.

Here’s some friendly advice to help you travel like a pro:

🕐 1. Arrive Early

Always get to the airport at least 3 hours before your flight if it's international, or 2 hours for local flights. You need time for:

✅Check-in

✅Security checks

✅Finding your gate

Late arrival can make you miss your flight, and airlines won’t wait.

🧳 2. Pack Light, Pack Right

Don’t carry too much. Airlines have baggage weight limits. Always ask how many bags are allowed and the weight limit before you pack.

Also, keep important things (passport, money, phone charger) in your hand luggage.

📃 3. Keep Your Travel Documents Safe

Make photocopies of your:

✔️Passport

✔️ID card

✔️Flight ticket or booking confirmation

✔️Keep both a printed copy and a soft copy (on your phone or email).

❌ 4. Avoid Last-Minute Bookings

Flight prices go higher the closer you get to the travel date. Book early to save money and avoid stress.

5. Ask Questions — No Shame in That

Whether you're at the airport or talking to your agent, ask questions. No question is too small. It’s better to ask than to make a mistake.

🧭 6. Listen to Instructions

During your flight, pay attention to safety announcements. Cabin crew are there to help. If you don’t understand something, politely ask.

✈️ 7. Stay Calm

Traveling can be stressful, especially for beginners. Just breathe, follow instructions, and remember - you’re learning. Each trip makes you better.
