Please forgive me if I'm posting this in the wrong category, but this seemed to be the best option.
I have a flight coming up in October, and it is my first time flying by myself, and only my second time on a plane, so I'm pretty nervous. I'm worried that I'll miss something or do something wrong at the airport and miss my flight or mess up with my boarding pass. Some background information: I'm flying from PIT to LAX, with a connecting flight at LAS. There is a 55 minute window between the connecting flight, and I'm worried that it may not be enough time. (The only time I flew it was a non-stop, so I have no experience with connecting flights.) I booked my flight through Southwest and paid the extra $10 for early bird check in. I know that this automatically checks you into your flight 36 hours ahead of time, so when I arrive at the airport, all I need to do is print out my boarding pass. Is this correct? I know it's still two months away but I just want to feel completely prepared so that I will not worry about the flight. Any advice would be very much appreciated!
