KARFA will be probably be on the service so he'll show you the way, but in LBA you have to exit landside, go right and around to departures, up to security and round again. It's not far, and easily achievable. You should also have a few minutes in the particularly well stocked LBA lounge if you arrive early/on time.
It's not as easy as NCL, which is in the foolproof, no security, plus easy lounge access band, along with EDI, ABZ and GLA. The NCL lounge looks on to the aircraft so you can time your departure quite minutely.
