Help with exception catching

[omgonoes]

Hi i'm having trouble doing the try catch in my methods.
Could someone give me some pointers to where I can put them?

 public static void openFlight()
   {
      Flight Flight;
      String FlightID;

      System.out.print("\nEnter id of Flight to open: ");
      FlightID = sc.nextLine();

      Flight = getFlight(FlightID);

      if (Flight == null)
      {
         System.out.printf("\nError - Flight %s not found!\n", FlightID);
      }
      else
      {
         boolean result;
		
			result = Flight.open();
		
         if (result == true)
         {
            System.out.printf("\nFlight %s opened for boarding.\n", FlightID);
         }
         else
         {
            System.out.printf(
                  "\nError Flight %s cannot be opened for boarding!\n", 
                  FlightID);
         }
      }  
      }

The method is written in another class, and I'm using eclipse.
I want it to be able to throw an exception if the flight cannot be opened, but i've tried putting it in but keeps erroring , so i'm a bit lost.

Really appreciate it.

Actually to be honest I don't know where to put the catch, that's the problem I'm having.
I only know where to put the try

 try {
 public static void openFlight()
   {
      Flight Flight;
      String FlightID;

      System.out.print("\nEnter id of Flight to open: ");
      FlightID = sc.nextLine();
//etc...

the catch line I'm trying to put is something like

 catch(FlightNotScheduled fnsE){System.out.println(fnsE.getMessage());

I only know where to put the try

 try {
 public static void openFlight()
.......

Well, that isn't right either.

So which is it?
Do you want to throw an exception when result is false, or do you need to catch an exception thrown by another method call (eg the open() method on Flight)?
