Morning, everyone!

In May I will be taking my first flight on AA, taking advantage the cheaper fares from DUB.

My route is DUB>ORD>BNA and reverse. Flying in J(TATL) and F(domestic).

The forums seem to tell me that in the interests of efficiency every enjoyable aspect of flying has been stripped out of the experience, either by TSA or gate lice etc.

What should I expect, and what should I be prepared to do to make the job/flight of others less stressful?

Thanks in advance.
