Dont be like my grand pa that was travelling abroad and was offered food and drinks in the plane, Old man rejected everything, Only for him to go over 12 hours journey on a hungry stomach, Papa thought it will be paid for by him, when he got to his destination and was complaining he was super hungry , they were shocked as this airline was known to be top notch in feeding their passengers. So they asked papa, didnt they serve food in the plane, Papa said they did but me i cant waste money on those expensive meals oo, Everyone just burst into laughter, Haaaa Papa you have dull yourself oo, Its all paid for, Its free, anything you order is free, You can even ask for more said one of my aunts. grandpa said seriously? He was so mad that on his return flight, he drank over 21 cups of tea and juice cheesy cheesy he ordered for more plates of food. if possible he would have gotten take away lol for your website design, blog design, Ecommerce websites visit www.leksmediaconcept.com or call 08173091370

sky diving is quite extreme, not for the faint heart. If you need training, try the lesser stages like roller coaster, safari, bungee jump.....
Then you go confirm well if your liver strong reach.
Hold money for pocket too, guess its like $500 in the states and 2000 dirham in Dubai. Better still go to Ghana, try the bungee jump.

This got me, I also lost my hearing partially, like it was clogged, but my friend with me didn't feel the same. Thought something was wrong with me. I think it has something to do with air pressure

Opinionated:
Doing something for the first time can make you very nervous and anxious. It is even worse if you are boarding a plane. Although the experience may be pleasant, the unpalatable things you have heard about flying may scare you. Beyond this, there are other important things that can disrupt your flight which are probably unaware of because you are flying for the first time. in line with this, Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency shares 9 things first-time flyers must know to enjoy their flight.

Arrive at the airport super early


Whether you are travelling within or outside Nigeria, you should arrive at the airport super early. This will help calm your nerves. But if you are first time flyer and you arrive late, you would be disorganised and uncoordinated. Consequently, you may miss your flight. Alternatively, you can arrive a day earlier and lodge in one of those Lagos airport hotels.

Keep your carry-on bag small and light

You should carry a portable bag where you can keep your valuables like passports and other important travel documents. It is easier to reach, anytime you need them.

Get in your seat and power down

You do not need to show everyone on the plane that you are a first-time flyer. It will simply reveal your stupidity. When you get on board, choose your seatmate carefully, sit and switch off your phone or place it on aeroplane mode.

Do not tip indiscriminately


There is nothing wrong with tipping. You can if you want to. However, don’t just tip everyone that demand money from you. You may end up tipping them with all your pocket money.

Avoid junk food

Eat proper food, not junk. You do not want to throw up at the airport or on the plane. It is highly possible that you may throw up because you are overwhelmed or anxious.

Don’t carry cash

It is not advisable to carry cash when you are flying let alone for the first time. You may lose your money. Before you travel, contact your bank to know how you can get an ATM card that you can use anywhere in the world. Besides, if you want to carry cash, do not carry too much cash.

Do not patronise touts to exchange money

There are all sorts characters at the airport. So, be careful who you deal with. Never patronise touts especially when it has to do with currency exchange. They may change the money at a higher rate or give you fake currencies. There are bureau de Change wherever you are travelling to.

Bring your headset

Your headset will keep you company when you are bored or anxious. You can listen to your favourite music. This will distract you from your worries about flying for the first time.

Don’t be fearful


Do not think about all the stories you have heard about flying. You should believe that nothing will happen. If you dwell on it for too long, you may end up not travelling. It is not easy but you have to ditch your fear or paranoia.

MrBrownJay1:
LONG HAUL FLIGHTS:
- make sure you go online and pre-book your seat as much as 24hrs before the flight... Choose a proper seat with enough leg room for sleeping duty. Doing it at the check in can be a hit and miss, unless you arrive really early (no no for me)

- In most "proper" airport, you just need to arrive 1hr before Your international fight, and all is well (check in never closes before that)... No need to waste unlimited time at airport waiting for your flight. All airlines say that we should arrive 2/3hrs before departure simply because if everyone arrived 1hr before the flight, there wouldn't be enough time to check everyone before the flight takes off.

- party real hard the night before your flight, go home, quick shower and pick your bags straight to the airport. As soon as the plane is in the air, close your eyes ET VOILA, by the time you reopened them, you've arrived at your destination.

- always bring a comfortable sweater as their AC is a biatch.
That might back fire as some Airline charge for this.

Charge for what? Seating allocation?
Most long haul flights can be checked-in online up to 24hrs before the flight.... Seat allocation is part of that check-in procedure, unless you are flying some low cost company (like Condor etc)
