Congratulations,…you made it!

This will be a big moment, especially if you’ve never before travelled overseas. Be sure and listen to the instructions given by the cabin crew before you leave the plane and make sure that you have all your important documents with you, as well as your carry on baggage.

If your flight is international, you and all other passengers will have to go through customs before picking up your baggage.

By this time you might be feeling a little bit (or a lot) overwhelmed. You may even feel some culture shock setting in if things in the airport are really different than your home country. If this is the case, stop and take a deep breath. Realize that things will be different, relax and just try and enjoy all the new sights, smells, and sounds.
