Every. Single. Time. I somehow end up being the one randomly selected for 'extra screening.' Pack light for carry-on, makes it less of a hassle. Also, double-check the size of your toiletries. They confiscated my favorite shampoo cause it was over the limit. RIP good hair days. Learn from my mistakes, friend!

Haha nice, flying solo's the way to go. Don't stress the small stuff - keep your documents in one place and screenshot your boarding pass just in case your phone decides to die. Make friends with the person sitting next to you; time flies when you're in good company!

No sweat, airports are less complicated than they seem. Dropping luggage off is straightforward, then just head on over to security. Make sure you've got your electronics and liquids out before you hit the front of the line, speeds things up. After security, there's usually a big board with departures listed, match your flight number and it'll tell you where to head. Gates are just down the halls, follow the numbers. You'll be fine, enjoy Barca!

Barcelona's the bomb! You'll forget all about the airport stress once you're there. Security's a breeze: empty your pockets into a tray, your bag goes on the conveyor belt, and walk through the scanner. Then just grab your stuff and go. Signs will point you to your gate. And hey, everyone at the airport's looking to help you get where you need to go. So chill, you got this!

Hey! I fly solo all the time and love it. Just remember to stay hydrated, because planes are super dry. Download some movies or shows onto your device cause in-flight entertainment can be hit or miss. Comfortable clothes are a must too. When you're at the airport, just follow the signs to your gate and security - it's basically a huge line you can't miss. Safe travels!

Totally get that first-time flight anxiety. A few pointers: arrive early so you're not rushed, keep your important docs handy (passport, boarding pass), and don't be afraid to ask airport staff for help. Also, there's hella signs everywhere, so you'll find your gate no prob. Barcelona is amazing, you'll love it!
