Hopefully, your parents will declare you as an "Unaccompanied Minor" and pay the small fee when they check you in. In this case, an airline employee will shepherd you through the entire process. If not, then the two things that you need to know is what gate and what time. Don't rely on your watch, as you might be in a different time zone. On your ticket/boarding pass will be a terminal letter, and a gate number, say E-18. Know that the E stands for terminal E, and the 18 stands for gate 18 in terminal E. There may very well be an A-18, B-18, C-18,... So both the number and letter are important. Also know that sometimes there are last minute gate changes, so you will want to confirm on the Flight Informations Display Screens (FIDS), your gate of departure, estimated time of departure, and status. They are all through the airport. Be an hour or so early to the gate, and be very polite. . If you are uncertain, find someone in uniform, and ask. Take with you some comfort things like favorite pillow, I-pod, gameboy. It will all be very exciting for a little while, and then you will be bored to tears. Have things to occupy your time. You are more likely to have an auto wreck or car jacked on the way to the airport, than you are to be harmed at the airport, or while flying. The safest mode of transportation available. Good Luck and Enjoy!
