Slip your shoes back on, grab your items out of the bin, and stuff them back into your bag. You can try to organize them later - now it’s time to just get out of there. Check your phone now for any alerts, or check the screens all over the airport to make sure your flight is on time. Proceed to the gate.

Once they’ve started boarding, please, please, please, wait until they call your row. Then stand up, get in line, and board the plane. Congrats! You did it! And it was much less painless than before, right?
