I am going to Haiti, and this is my first time..
i want to ask the step by step how to board on my flight once im already in the airport?

When you arrive at the airport, departure area (about 2 hours or more earlier), go directly to the counter of the air-company of your ticket to get the "boarding card" and give your luggage. Then stay at the waiting area until there is an announcement for the passengers of your flight to proceed for boarding at the gate #.. Then you pass passport and security control, you get in the plane and ... have a nice flight!

1. your boarding pass will state the gate where you will embark the plane. it will also state your assigned seat number (apha numeric).

After you clear immigration, you will not need your passport or plane ticket/voucher so you can keep both. Just have your boarding pass ready.

2. security regulations prohibit bringing liquid/gel of more than 100ml or sharp objects on your body or hand-carried (carry-on) bag. you will have to leave prohibited items in a bin and you cannot retrieve those. Check also the allowed measurement of hand-carried luggage to be sure that your bag is within the allowed size/dimension.

3. you will need to fill up an immigration card, so best to request your travel agency to give you the card so you can fill it up before going to the airport.

once the plane has taken off, the flight attendants will hand out the immigration/arrival cards and customs declaration. best for you to fill up the cards before the plane lands.

- depending on what airline you'll be taking is what international airport you'll be going to. check that with your travel agency or airline website.
- be at the airport 3 hours before schedule flight time (yes, 3 hrs na ngayon, i was glad i complied with that one bec it can get really hectic at the airport)
- proceed to travel tax counter and pay your travel tax depending on nature of your trip, if tourist, P1650, OFWs pay very minimal amount
- then queue at your airline's check-in counter for your luggage, they'll take your travel tax receipt
- after checking in your luggage, proceed and pay terminal fee of P700
- proceed to immigration with departure card
- after which, you're ok to roam around til your flight is called :-)

hope this helps ...
