cevek11:
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?

*This is generally applicable information; you may need to modify it for your circumstances. For instance, if it's a really small, local airport dealing with just a few flights a day, things may not be as strict or structured as in a bigger, busier airport.

-Go to the airline website and check in for your flight online ahead of time, today or early tomorrow, if you can-- will save you time at the airport and possibly save you from not getting on board, if the flight is overbooked

-Print out your boarding pass so you know your flight number, departure time, boarding gate, boarding time (note: different from/earlier than departure time!)

-Head to the airport early. Give yourself time to get there about a couple of hours before the flight, at least. You never know what might happen with traffic, or when you get there, especially since you haven't done this before

-Don't forget your passport/travel ID (since it's a local flight you might not need a passport)

-Head to the check in counter for your airline, at the airport; get a luggage tag for any luggage you're checking in (i.e., anything that's not hand luggage) and drop off the checked luggage there. Try not to over-pack your checked or hand luggage, or you might have issues with overweight luggage.

-Go through security. There should be signs directing you to where this is. Or just ask. You may have to take off shoes, coats, etc; so bear that in mind when dressing- wear stuff that's easy-on-easy-off

-No liquids or gels in your hand luggage unless they're really small (for international flights, at least; not sure if that applies to domestic)

-Keep a eye on your stuff as it passes through security (if it has to go through an x-ray machine, for instance); you want to make sure everything that goes in, comes out

-No metals in your pocket (keys, jewellery) in case you have to pass through a body scanner while passing through security. Metal will beep, and you may have to undergo another scan

-Find your gate. There is normally a counter around tehre. Sit close to that counter so you can see and hear clearly when boarding is announced-- the speaker system may not be optimal.

-If you think you'll be hungry, you can take stuff like snack bars, chocolate bars, granola bars (not sure if that's available there)-- basically, stuff like that is not likely to be confiscated. There may or may not be places to get food once you get past security (eg if the airport is really small). You'll have to get water once you get past security, though.

-Get on board (hopefully flight is not delayed). Put your hand luggage in the overhead bin or under the seat in front of you. Fasten your seat belt. Listen to the safety instructions. Enjoy the flight!

lol yeah, then it shakes and act like something's wrong Nd make very loud noise. The landing is the hardest cuz the plane just goes off and start falling, then go round the sky( this is when is looking to make the right landing spot) then you'll think the plane is light and start falling...

pacespot:
Nigerians and their inferiority complex, what's wrong in someone being a bit confused as a first timer in a place (airport), whatever that isn't clear to you ask for help from anyone even your co-traveler. Most of the people you're traveling with are sane people, especially, when your flight is international. The only problem are the rogues called immigration officers looking to take advantage of naive travelers.
And this is the mentality of black people: taking advantage of themselves, making things difficult for themselves, this same mentality that's giving you (the traveler) inferiority complex already. Like someone said he felt embarrassed when taught how to fasten a seat belt, imagine!. So even the molders of the Airbus can't have problem with a seat belt?

Note: I would've come hard on this topic if it's about people sharing experiences of traveling by air, but I see most people here are just ostensibly making it seem as something of a class beyond an average person. Which I think is the same mentality that's bedeviling Nigeria today.

if your a first timer they will sure want to extort money from, put the money on your wallet and all so put like 2000 naira on de wallet, show them de money if they ask u, but don't give dem, give dem de 2k, they will try to delay u, just stay they with dem, and plead a llitle, they will finally stamp your passport and allow you go, they might even get angry and not collect the 2k, and if your a Yoruba guy or u no how to speak Yoruba it will be a bit easier for u, my first time i was with 2500$ and 1850 naira, they said i must give dem 100usd, eish, me told dem i cant touch de money cux i have already budgeted for it, i gave dem all de 1850 naira, dey started intimidating me dat they wont allow me fly giving so many fault, I simply called a friend who asked me to seat down they will them as if am not bothered, one guy just came and they wanted money nd the guy spoke Yoruba and they just stamp him and allow him go. at de end they got so angry and let me go with out collecting the #1850. don't give them any tin, they know first timers are always too excited that they can do anytin. a friend of mine going to Malaysia last week gave dem 300usd due to fear
