I will smoke weed the day I'm flying out of Nigeria so I don't disgrace myself at the airport..

The confidence and flamboyancy on my movement would even make fellow travelers ask for help from me..

I will celebrate that day here on Nairaland

Smoking weed would nake you trigger drug alarm if they swab your luggage for test grin

You will be surprised that it would be easier for you to navigate your way through the airport than Good is Good motors, Ezenwata Motor Parks etc..

However these are the steps;

Make sure you arrive the airport 1 hour before departure time(Since you are flying for the first time) . Once you get to the airport departure hall, check for the booked airline stand, because you are going to be seeing: Max air, Air Peace , Dana Air cubicles inside the hall...you can also ask anybody on reflective jacket(officials) to direct you to your airline stand...

When you get there, join others on the queue for checking in..make sure, you have your ID card and booking number handy..Once checked in, you would be handed a boarding pass to enable you board your plane....and if you carry a heavy luggage, they would be also checked in...don't worry about where they are taking your bags to..be rest assured, you would see them in Kano upon arrival...

When you are done with the above, ask them to direct you to the boarding hall, where you are going to wait for announcement of your airline...listen attentively whenever any announcement is made and check your ticket if your airline is being called; You would be hearing something like: Max Air 777 Lagos to Kano boarding at exit G etc..

Now, I assume you have entered inside the plane...show any of the cabin crew members your boarding pass, he/she will direct you to your booked seat...Then wait for further announcements by the air crew including the pilot...Don't look down if you have phobia for height grin grin..and don't panic, when the plane encounters air turbulence or they would find out say you be JJC... grin Just look for newspaper and be acting as if you ve been flying all your life.. grin

On arrival in Kano, just follow fellow passengers to where you can retrieve your baggage...then hail a taxi to your hotel or destination...

Safe journey!




if them think say I be JJC, who cares cool

I'll be travelling to Kano, when I enter the departure door, where should I go, what should I do. Abeg help my life, I'm just confused. Just describe the whole process for me. Also when I get to my destination what next.

Also in my ticket, I can see cabin book class YW. What does it mean.

pls help.

You seems to be the type that gives up in life easily. Why can't you ask these questions at the airport? You asked only one person and then you gave up.

What stopped you from asking other people at the airport?

Good day my brother,
There should be no fear or confusion at all.
1. You need to know the Wing of the Airport your flight is; is it Old Local Wing or MMA2 Wing?
If I know which of the Airline Ticket you have, I should able to guide you on this too.
2. Make sure you arrive 30min (minimum) before departure time on your ticket
3. On your arrival at the departure lounge, go to your Airline Counter to get your boarding pass & seat number.
4. Then you move upstairs to wait for boarding (that is if its MM2). If Old Local is the same floor but, you will move to waiting lounge.
5. Carefully listen to announcement, when your Airline boarding is called, then move to the line.
6. Above all always ask questions (that is my logo).
Best regards,

Just do what others are doing bro. They will always ask you where you are going and direct you. The only thing you should worry about is how to fasten your seat belt, that thing is too complicated for a first timer. Just ask someone to help you and save yourself the embarrassment.
Re: I'm Traveling By Air For The First Time And I Don't Know What To Do by LordVarys1: 8:42am On May 27, 2021
The easiest way is just to locate anyone going to the same location and on your plane as well. Strike a conversation, finish, when it's time he will be the one even telling you o boy let's go.

This is not as difficult as you are making it look. Plane injustice like every other transport system. Feel free to ask questions.

When you are trying to locate God is good motors in a new town ,don't you ask questions?

At the entrance of the plane ask the hostess to lead you to your seat if you find it difficult locating it. This thing is easy biko.

When you reach your seat, fasten your seat belt, spread your legs, widen your arms and sit like a king, na your money. Enjoy your flight bro

My brother my people have said it all, but just to add this, keep a close eye on your luggages, very important. Even if u have no luggage still shine ur eyes wella, don't allow someone to come close to u cos someone with hard drugs may drop them in u, and u will become the bearer till maybe u are eventually caught.... If u scale through with them, they pick them up when u arrive at the other end. It's quite magical.

My brother shine your eyes, Na 9ja airport u dey go so.

Make sure you buy GUM before heading to the Airport. 4get what people flaunt on social media.
It's neva a Good experience esp. with LOCAL Flights. INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS have got good stability. U need try that too.
Finally, Before boarding ARIK Airbus B398 en route Lagos to Port Harcourt give ur life to Christ, the PILOT is a WHEELBARROW pusher.

Very simple, once you enter the plane, wait patiently till the plane is up in the sky, then carefully open the window without making any noice or notice and jump out... you will really like it....


U don't need to thank me, we are here for one another!!!

my advice, don't be the first person on any of the queues. Also, listen to the announcer. Thirdly, turbulence as not as turbulent as you imagine.

[b]There is always the first time for everybody, please don't feel awkward about it. As others have advised, get to the airport as early as possible to ensure you have enough time to correct any mistake that you may make. Depending on the airline that you will be flying, there are two wings of the domestic airport in Ikeja, one is called Murtala Muhammed Airport 2 (MMA2) and the other is called General Aviation Terminal (GAT). You can check on google which one you are supposed to proceed to.

Be mindful of who you seek information from at the airport, there are a lot of scammers/touts there looking for newbie like you to exploit. Only talk to anyone in uniform for assistance. There will be a lot of touts harrassing you to offer unsolicited assistance, be careful !

Since this is a local flight, I expect you will be travelling with few things. Get a small decent bag that you can put your personal effects inside (LIQUIDS ARE NOT ALLOWED, NO TOOTHPASTE TOO, EXCEPT IF YOUR ARE CHECKING IT IN !). If you have more than one bag, you will have to check-in the bigger one. It is important that you do not check-in the bag that has valuable items like your laptop, camera, etc. Put those items in the "hand luggage" bag and keep it with you at all times. When inside the aircraft, put the bag in the overhead bin that is above you or nearest to you. Keep your eyes on it at alltimes because some people are now in the business of stealing things from other passengers in the plane.

Do not be shy to ask questions. Look for a responsible looking co-traveller and make friends. Tell the person it is your first time and follow his/lead.

Have a pleasant trip !
