People who fly frequently! i need your help/advice?

i am flying out to California, and my flight has about 4 legs to it.





first of all, if i take checked luggage, will i have to pick it up after every landing, check it in again, and so on four times? or does the airline take care of putting my luggage onto the proper plane.





second, are there any tips in general about flying? this is my first time and i am a little nervous. :(People who fly frequently! i need your help/advice?
A) The airline will transfer your luggage to your final destination. With so many transfers, it may arrive before you actually do. So make sure to check at the airline's help desk in the baggage claim area (where your luggage will be available) if you don't find it on the luggage carousel with the other bags from the flight.





B) Make sure to arrive early at the airport. First you have to check-in (either at a kiosk or at the desk) and check your bags. Then it's on to security. After passing security (where you'll need to present an government issued ID and your boarding pass), you'll then head to your gate to wait for your flight. They generally recommend minimum 1 hour for domestic flights and 2 hours for international flights.





C) Think about parking before you depart. Either take a cab or an airport shuttle (a van company that picks you up at your house and then usually picks up others as well before dropping everyone off at the airport). Make sure to know where to park at the airport for the best deal for how long you are going to be gone.





D) The airlines have strict regulations about carry-on. You'll have to take out your laptop at the airport security. You'll also have to remove your shoes so consider wearing socks. No liquids that are in containers of more than 3oz. And put all your liquids in a plastic ziploc bag.





E) Put thought into your carry-on choices for the flight. You won't be able to access your checked bags. I usually bring reading material (I always treat myself to a favorite magazine bought near the gate) and any necessities if my luggage is delayed a day.





F) When you check-in, you should be able to pick your seat or change an existing seat reservation. Think if you want an aisle or a window. Also exit rows give you more leg room but you don't have storage space under your seat (for easy access to a computer bag or a purse).





Have a great flight!People who fly frequently! i need your help/advice?
It all depends, is this an International flight that you are talking about? you can always ask the person checking you in, just to make sure.


If it's a Domestic flight, you normally get your luggage at your final destination.


Tip:


Ask your airline agents about any doubts you may have. Gate locations, what terminal you arrive, what carrousel you may get your bags, etc.
