As a first timer, i ll advise you get to the airport on time...prolly 1hr before departure time.
After getting your boarding pass... stylishly ask the arik lady what next n where next to go.

When u eventually board the plane, snap jor....dont mind those that say u shldnt. Take one or two before u eventually put off your fone.
Ask anyone around you to help with the seat belt too...

Oga...no crime being a first timer, and no crime in asking .
Safe journey !

Please don't laugh at me, it's not like I can't afford it but I've just not been inside a plane before. I usually travel to other states in Nigeria by road. So this person has texted me tictet Ref Number for Arik Air to Abuja tomorrow, but I don't know what next to do. The time texted to me is 7:30am.
Pls if you have travelled by air, domestic flight before pls advise me. Didn't want to ask the person, so he doesn't feel embarrased. Pls this is urgent! When I get to the airport in the morning what shud I do? God bless.

What I really want to know is that when I get to the airport tomorrow, what should I do with the ticket REF number the person texted to me

OP, I love planes. I am going to someday, somehow fly one as an hobby of course.

There is nothing special in flying in a plane, IDK. The only somewhat quirky part is the take-off and descent/landing.

This was how I felt when I flew for the first time.

The plane has to taxi a little bit on the taxiway, moving from the terminal to the runway. You know, making all those boring bends and just moving at a slow pace for a while. I am always bored by this part. No excitement whatsoever! Speed was about, say, 20km/h.

Then it gets to the runway, it stops, the engines fire! and it becomes louder. Damn it, I love this part!!! It begins to move at blinding speed greater than 200Km/h. A force opposite the direction of motion of the plane pushes your head backwards...Ahhh adrenaline!!!

Just when you are about to cuum, it lifts off on you-- climbing. The tires get off the ground. It is at this stage that some bush people fomit There is this momentary weightlessness, elevation. The tires leave the ground and the plane achieves altitude. There is a point here during ascent when it feels like the plane is falling, it is not, it is simply not climbing as steeply as before and/as there is "cutback" to reduce the thrust used to take-off. This part is a little fun too.

Cruise is boring, except if it is Amelica you are travelling to The plane changes altitude from time to time, the pilot as well will at some times tell you the altitude, speed, location and condition of the flight.

Descent and landing is not as exciting as take-off from the point of view of the passenger (I love watching planes land and take-off). The plane loses altitude gradually, gets on the runway with a screeching sound. The speed here too is WOW. You'll almost feel as if the plane is not gonna stop. It does stop, all the times I have flown

Due to the time of your flight, you may have experienced some of these already. I wish you safe flight back.

The OP didnt make the flight. I feel like deleting my comment, mschewww.

surprised? It was actually my first visit to Abuja. I have never travelled long distances that's why I have never used a flight.

When you get to the domestic airport , ask of where arik is....then ask where the line to abuja is (u will see pple on different queue). join the one to abuja. when its your turn to be attended to, give the arik lady the ticket REF no with you...and she ll give you a boarding pass.
NOTE : she ll ask you of your ID CARD.

Try get there on time and ask questions from anybody .that will help out a whole lot.

Safe flight .

Nice!! Hope someone can use his Driving Licence for ID Becos i will be taking my first flight by next weekend by God grace

You gave a concise detail of a flight experience. Thumbs up! But I wish you didn't forget the next to the window experience close to the wing. There's a lot of actions on how the wing parts overlap, interchange and finally come to a state of rest when the plane stabilises.
