Thanks really get ur point
ohzee:


Please don't ever check in your laptop. You may end up with a cracked screen. You can even use your laptop during the flight. But you must check in liquids, soap and metal objects, though a few are totally prohibited. The only liquid allowed in your carryon luggage gas to be small about 50ml. Always put your important documents in your hand luggage and keep with you at all times. Remember that checked in luggage can get missing or delayed

If it is an international flight-mak sure each of ur bag/luggage does nt exceed 50kg....spilt them evenly..
Yes, u can go in with ur bag pack(provided the contents are 'OKAY' -don't put any metal, bomb, gun, weed, etc inside it)..
Abt seat belt..the air hostess will surely explain the procedure on board, or u can politely nd quietly ask ur closet neighbour 4 guidance...sucess sir

on my first time, I put my cream and perfume inside my handbag and they didn't allow me to check in with it.( had I known I 4 put am inside my box) I tried selling it cos it cost me a lot to buy them ,no one wanted to buy but they demanded to take it as a gift from me if I want to. I had no option than to give it to someone.( then inside the plane) when we were on air our plane was experiencing some difficulties, the pilot warned us to prepare 4 anything we see and told us if we didn't make to our destination that they are sorry and wish u well that we should no that they have done everything in their power to save us but to no avail. so my dear fear catch me so tha na cry I come they cry, the ask myself watin carry me enter plane, I promised myself that if I survive that one I no go ever enter plane again omo I com hear "gbum gbum gbum " I come shout one wicked shout " mma mu eyi"(my mother ooooooh) people wia shouting Jesus na eme I come change my shouting to Jesus. after sometime our pilot come say we wia out of danger that he is sorry for wat ever we have experienced . omo since that day na fear i de fear until now, even wen I enter car( I don promise myself say I no go enter ship at all) . I can never forget my first experience in a plane

naijainfogalery:
That was how a man was offered meals the first time he was on air plane and he rejected it thinking he will have to pay only for him to get to his destination and people told him anything he takes is absolutely free, this got him furious, on his return trip, he just kept asking for more saying my money no go waste.

In my first time experience, i wore a thin cloth when i boarded the plane. After some munites in the air, i started feeling cold especially in my head, as if air was entering through my ears. I was just praying that the plane should land fast. I was relieved of this around 30 minutes after landing. I will not make such a mistake again.

On my first time, I put my laptop in the big bag to be checked in and had my body lotion in my bag pack.

This gave me away straight as a first timer.

The attendant was friendly so I was not too embarrassed.

What is your story?

You are wrong to generalize. I know a guy who flies regularly without any luggage. Just the clothes on him. Then one day, he had to carry his hand luggage and his lotion was inside and it had to be confiscated. Does that make him a first time flier? No.

Your hypothetical syllogism is totally flawed.

Left behind my e-visa with a colleague while already at the last check before boarding. This was like 10 mins to take off. It was a wild rush. They all catched up and it was all fun via emirate to uae. Immigrations can distabilize first timers, so arrive for check in on time.

People rushing to board as if anyone will be left out grin. Once u have boarding pass ... no need to rush. Its not danfo, your seat will wait for u.

Most people are actually rushing to be sure they get a space in the overhead lockers matching their seats as some people have the habit of occupying theirs and even that of other people, only for the flight attendant to move urs somewhere very far from your seat.

All government agencies that was present got their own share from me.

When i checked what remain with me in the flight

I discovered i lost almost $1500.

Ever since then, i always check-in my cash with baggage and keep little in my wallet.

Is that not stupidity when u know that 99% at the end have their luggages above or right opposite them. Oyibo to rush to board. Still they travel with luggages. We are always in hurry, u see someone hurrying to church grin
