Don't let worry about negotiating the airport stop you travelling. Check in desks are clearly signed, just look out for a JY rep standing somewhere nearby. Security is a necessary pain, no matter how many times you've travelled. Be prepared to take off coat/jacket and scarf. Make sure any hand luggage liquids and gels are in 100ml or smaller containers, and fit into a sealable clear polythene bag. Bags are usually available at the airport if you can't get one locally. Have your mobile, and laptop or tablet somewhere easily accessible so you can put them on a tray for scanning. In recent years, airport security has tightened, but, it seems to be better managed, and queues move quite quickly. Happy travelling. Please post when you have booked your holiday.
