Good to have you here!! Have you been on this route before using Airpeace or at the Kotoka international Airport Accra at any point in time? Kindly share your experience. Thanks for your comment…

@Bbsharon, I trust you're doing okay.

Wow! This thread brings back memories for me 'Dami.

My first trip ever into Kotoka International Airport was in 1987 via one of the 4 brand new Nigeria Airways wide-bodied Airbus A310 planes. We were originally flying from MMIA, Ikeja, Lagos to the very well-planned and beautiful city of Abidjan in Cote d'Ivoire for an international conference at Hotel Ivoire [where the iconic pop legend Michael Jackson stayed during his 1986 visit to that country].

The Airbus plane first landed smoothly at Kotoka Airport, Accra which had about 3 disused or crashed planes littered around and it felt good to be in that huge Nigeria Airways A310 plane [as a person of Nigerian descent] when compared to other smaller passenger planes parked on the tarmac.

We then flew off again onboard the Airbus A310 from Kotoka Airport, Accra for the nearby city of Abidjan [Félix Houphouët-Boigny International Airport], in Cote d'Ivoire after spending close to one hour at Kotoka Airport.

The new Kotoka International Airport Terminals as of 2022 are more functional and modern than the Kotoka Airport of 1987.



Safe Trips.

Ciao.

In this video I shared my honest flight review using Airpeace Airline for my return trip to Accra from Lagos.

My flight was delayed for 3hours plus and it was a night flight so it was a frustrating experience having to stay in the airport for that long due to flight delays.

That's a great flight review as usual 'Dami. An insightful 13 minutes of viewing. Flight delays tend to take place on the West African routes that I have flown.

Only the best airlines that are time-efficient have always survive globally.

Thanks for sharing!! Talking about the Nigeria Airways plane showed it’s really been a long time ago. And yes, the kotoka international Airport was renovated not too long ago

You're welcome 'Dami... Anytime.

I tried visiting your blog, but it wasn't opening and my Internet access is super-fast here... blazing speed of downloads and browsing is fast. Check on your end to make sure there are no glitches.

Yeah, the flight by the Nigeria Airways A310 to Kotoka Airport in 1987 was 35 years ago as of 2022.

Enjoy your day 'Dami!

Great pictures, thanks for sharing. For the blog guess it’s a server problem because it’s opening at my end here. Thanks for the support always!!

Second, I saw the "tired look" that you had on the 45-minutes flight from Lagos to Accra because of the Arik Air flight delay. Your return flight from Accra was yummy though with the Ghana jollof jumping right into your eyes.

You can get yourself an energy booster drink like Lucozade or even Glucose D drink the next time you plan to take a trip by air and even by road because delays and flight cancelations due to adverse weather condition and more are sometimes inevitable after doing all that you can to avoid that situation.

'Dami, enjoy your weekend.

'Dami you're welcome.

That's strange... but then server issues can cause the glitch situation as you've said. I'll check your blog again with another Internet Service Provider and device.

You'll find the article weblink right below (that I bookmarked some time ago) useful as well.

TRAVEL FATIGUE IS NOT JET LAG
Often used interchangeably, there is a significant difference between travel fatigue and jet lag. While travel fatigue could be caused by any mode of transport, jet lag is related to aircraft and timezones.

Also known as time zone change syndrome, jet lag is when people travel across different time zones and end up disrupting their sleep cycle. This condition is seen related to circadian rhythm disorder and can lead to irritability, insomnia, and headaches.
