At the Airport Before the Flight:

When I arrived at the airport, I headed straight to the check-in desk.After leaving baggage claim, I either proceeded to ground transportation if needed or directly exited the airport if someone was picking me up. If using ground transportation services like a taxi or shuttle, I would have gone to their designated pick-up area.I placed my carry-on items in a bin for screening and walked through the metal detector.There, I presented my ticket and passport to the airline staff.After checking me in, they tagged my luggage and provided me with my boarding pass.Next, I proceeded to the security checkpoint.
