Good day all,
I will be updating this thread much later due to the fact that I will be airborne in a couple of hours from now.

For a quick tips for those coming to Cotonou, this one is for you;

Have a valid yellow fever vaccination card with you to avoid problems with the immigration officials at the Cotonou airport. ( It is not a flying requirements, but an entering requirement into Cotonou, so that you dont miss your flight by those strict Benin officials at the airport)

Please and please again don't try coming into Cotonou through Idiroko border, follow through Seme border through badagry to avoid story that bleeds the heart

For those coming through an agent, endeavour to make sure you see your confirmed flight ticket before doing a covid test ( E get why)

When leaving your hotel to the airport make sure you collect receipt covering your 15 days stay from the hotel reception in case you are asked at the airport.

And please use your head

I don't think I can spend almost a million naira just to go to Dubai. It's not worth it.

This trip cost about 380 to 400k (visa and flight inclusive) b4 the pandemic.

I just advice people not to apply for visa now and wait for naija airports. All this stress.... Naaaa

Sorry everyone that I have not been able to update the thread for a while now . I fell seriously ill after about a day I arrived Dubai. But am recuperating now, I believe it was due to the stress I passed through my 30 days on Cotonou.
My trip to Dubai from Cotonou airport was very smooth unlike if it was at the Nigeria airport where officials suck one dry. I never spent a single money at the airport as far as your documents are complete. The only people who had issues at the Cotonou airport where those who normally boarded the Turkish Airlines through fraudulent agents who issue them runz flight ticket and those that previously had the fake Idi roko stamp on their passport and rectify it by stamping the original one. If you are in this set I mentioned you will need somebody at the airport to board you to avoid issues of missing your flight.
We arrived Dubai without issues on Tuesday morning and I must say our passport was not even checked to confirm the 14 days Benin stamp on our passport. They were just checking us in as if we were about connecting to another flight, infact I myself was very surprised. Immediately we were stamped in we proceeded to carry out another covid 19 test at the airport which didn't take up to three minutes and later proceeded to pick our luggage. I believe the reason the Dubai officials were very lenient with us that day might be due to the fact that they were almost rounding up their fast.
So for those still coming to Dubai through the Cotonou route make sure you do the right thing to avoid issues that will result to you spending more money by learning from the mistakes I made.
