Op, just go with the flow. Before you leave though, bake some pancakes. Pay close attention:

1 1/2 cups milk
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1/3 cup caster sugar
25g butter, melted
Whisk milk, egg and vanilla together in a jug. Sift flour and bicarbonate of soda into a bowl. Stir in sugar. Make a well in centre. Add milk mixture. Whisk until just combined.

Step 2

Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Brush pan with butter. Using 1/4 cup mixture per pancake, cook 2 pancakes for 3 to 4 minutes or until bubbles appear on surface. Turn and cook for 3 minutes or until cooked through. Transfer to a plate. Cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Repeat with remaining mixture, brushing pan with butter between batches. Serve.

Make sure you plan to be at THE DEPARTURE AIRPORT 2hours before 7:30 am

2- As small as possible size of luggage

Finally, just pray to God for journey Mercies!!!

After that: there's nothing else you can do!!!

Enjoy!

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 ticket 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 embarrassed. Pls this is urgent! When I get to the airport in the morning what shud I do? God bless.


get to the airport like 3 hours before the official time..Your bags will be searched thoroughly and your bags will be kept with a tag too....Arik airline is a nice aircraft, I used it the last time i was travelling overseas and am impressed with their services btw so i am confident you will have safe trip.If you need any other info,feel free to let me know

NOTE : KEEP TO TIME BECAUSE THEY DONT DO AFRICAN TIME.

A lot of the people you will meet in the airport are also flying for the first time, so it's no big deal. Just ask questions at any point where you don't know what to do. There is nothing to be embarrassed about.

And get there well ahead of time!

From my experience, you will feel somehow for the first time no matter what.Be calm. The plane will behave as if it hit potholes in the air. You may feel dizzy or throwing up depending on your nature. But there is nothing a big deal there. You will soon love it after travelling many times. Follow the instructions of the captain or cabin crew as the case may be.stay positive and enjoy your Joni.

I had my very first flight on my way to Abuja from Lagos in september courtesy of a nairalander. cool
I was really scared and I kept asking everyone around me how the experience was. All I kept hearing was
"aaahh! You will vomit o!
Don't sit near the window.
Make sure you pray,
Buy enough chewing gum and tom tom
Bla bla bla!! "

My flight was slated for 1.30pm,Discovery Airline. I bought enough chewing gum to last me throughout the flight. I boarded the plane and I sat next to the window. Every other thing that happened next,I wasn't scared. I behaved like someone who was not a first timer. Coming back to Lagos,I boarded Aero Contractors. All the same,it was a nice journey.
