Tips:

1) If you must fly domestically, I recommend just Arik and Aero. Anything else is just too risky for me.

2) Ensure you get to the airport on time. Be there at least an hour before your flight. Domestic flights usually require you to check in before 45 mins to your flight but since this is your first time try to get there earlier than that.

3) On getting to the airport, go straight to the stand for your service provider to verify when check-in would begin for your flight. If you are there an hour before depature, chances are that they have already begun.

4) Do not forget your means of identification and your booking ref. For online bookings you can print out your online booking form. These would be needed to secure your boarding pass.

5) Try to travel light, if you must travel with all the bags and baggages in Nigeria, be prepared to pay extra. Hand luggage can be carried aboard the plane.

6) Creams and any liquid substance may not be permitted on board if they are not securely wrapped and sealed. Items like needles or any sharp objects ain't allowed.

7) After getting your boarding pass, go straight to the depature lounge. You can ask the ticketing officer for directions.

8.) Ensure you listen attentively to the announcer in order not to miss when your flight is expected to take off. There are usually two warning calls and the final call for boarding. The announcer would normally call on the airline name and then the Plane number. This is written boldly on your boarding pass.

9) In the plane, an Air hostess would usually guide you on your seat location (though this should be on your boarding pass), how to put on stuff like seat belt, life jackets and general safety tips.

10) Always ask questions when in doubt. It would help too be close to someone experienced and boarding same plane with you. Don't form 'Mr. Know it all'.

11) Remember to relax and enjoy your trip.

If I remember any more, I will surely let you know. Safe trip.

The seat number will be on your boarding pass. While boarding the stub would be handed to you. That too contains the seat number.

The seats for commercial planes are usually arranged systematically to the right and left. The numbers are alphanumeric. If your seat is say "18A"...you go to row 18 and use seat "A". The Air hostess should be able to guide you though.

Depending on the type of plane. Seats " A" and "d" are usually window seats. There are times seats may be taken at random too. Always follow the Air hostess' or host' directions.

You may not be allowed to use the seats by the door if you cannot help open it in the event of an emergency. On such cases, you would be allotted some other seating position.

Don't worry you will be tutored on how to open it, in the event that you got to sit in that position.

Try and enjoy the flight, though I don't trust your first service provider.

I think window seats are cool. Apart from when you take off and the landing, you would rarely see the ground. So being afraid of heights may not count much.

If you aren't comfortable with the window seats you can always ask the ticketer to allocate a seat along the aisle.

People are usually advised to turn off all electronic devices but if you have something that doesn't interfer with the planes radio communication, you may be permitted to use it. Phones are generally not allowed to be on.
