A dream is to book a flight to Dubai for Christmas.

yateh1:

Hallelujah

ursullalinda:
Good experience.....you will have more of it.....my aunty missed her flight with 5 kids because of the accents you were complaining about......We laughed out the living day light out of her.......but since money wasn't a problem she boarded the next available flight with her squad......and I'm sure so many have been on that spot.

English too sweet for your mouth jor. Make i clap for you lolzzz

I’m so happy for you. There is so much excitement in this your write up . More heights I pray for you.

You boarded a flight from Abuja to Lagos and you want to bring down Nairaland.

What should people like us - who have accumulated up to 700hrs on air to and fro Europe - do then?

He's not bringing Nairaland down. He just shared his experience and we are happy to read.

As for your question, people like you should with up 700hrs on air should stay away from the thread.
Very simple.

So i boarded my plane this morning and i can say it was a great experience thanks to all your contributions and tips. Lemme start like this, I woke up so early as my flight was at 8:25 since it's my first time i needed to play safe to avoid stories that touch i didn't give my village people a chance in that aspect.

I arrived at the airport few minutes to 7 and by 7:10 i was done checking in and ready for boarding (I didn't expect it to be so fast and smooth tho)

That was how i started pressing my phone and carefully paying attention to the announcements that one could barely hear. (I think airports need to do better as some of us no dey understand that kind accents) They can just past the announcement on a screen for people to read, anyways what do i know? maybe people have not missed flight as a result of that.

Ehen so while waiting, i was just observing everything, i saw one bros seated behind me so i walked up to him and confessed. "Bros no vex, na my first flight bdis, abeg if dem announce air peace flight to lagos just let me know" he smiled and said i shouldn't worry. Few minutes later i heard the announcement naso i pack my things go join queue, kudos to air peace (unlike the other announcements i heard, they used one local accent to announce before the normal posh accent repeated the announcement so it was easy for me to know it's time to board.

They did the normal thing and i was inside the plane naso i just dey look like village boy. i followed the suggestion by some good NLanders and watched how to fasten a plane seat belt so it was not an issue, i no disgrace my ancestors. except for the air hostess that was rude when i asked her for my seat everything went fine, i was so calm and composed like i've done this before. The plane took off and few minutes later we're flying above the clouds i was just smiling all through then i felt a sharp pain in my left ear, boom i no dey hear well again. then i remembered i was told here, i just swallowed saliva and i'd regain my hearing, it continued through out the flight. some of the things i noticed through the flight was:

Majority of land, like 70 percent is uninhabited, i saw my knowledge of geography come into play as we ascend into the sky, i could easily identify all the different layers like atmosphere, lithosphere and the rest it was like we're traveling to space, asin after all science no dey lie oo but above all God is the greatest. My experience helped me to believe God more, like he created all these things, he has the power to do anything so why even doubt him.

At some point during the flight, the plane was vibrating and turning anyhow lol but i didnt panic because i remembered nairalanders told me about it, i was seated by the window and stayed awake all through. Like 20 minutes into the flight, the pilot said "for those of you sitting by the right if you look by the window we are just flying over ibadan" naso i look and was like, oga i no see ibadan here ooo na just thick cloud i see.
That was how i landed in lagos around 10am and the weather was looking like 4pm nawao. i enjoyed my flight sha and i hope to do this again, but next time it should be canada not lagos.

How did you do the flight booking? Cos I will like to try it some day too. Thanks

My first plane experience 2 of the airport staffs tried to scam me.

One carried my bad that it was above weight and said I had to pay money, this was close to where they measure people’s luggage’s, but my bag wasn’t out on the weight measure.

I knew sth was off cause he was acting extremely nervous and trying to take me away from there but u refused I was trying to get the attention of the person doing the measurements when the lady observed I told her what happened she out it on the measure, told me to go after doing some things.

She gave the man one kind annoying look. I just waka jeje go wait to enter plane

Abeg, leave him a lone. At some point you were first timer too. I enjoyed his experience and I laughed . His quick experience made my day. So please step aside.

I have entered flight several times, especially Abuja - Lagos - Abuja. I didn't know they fly over Ibadan.

If you PCV is between 30%/33% dont bother yourself with any blood tonic.
Ensure you stick to a healthy diet.
Stick to ugu only if you must take it

Tab folic acid 1 tablet daily
Tab fesolate 1 tablet 2 times daily.
