Question 9

How to survive the flight to Lagos?

Accepted Answer

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Lagos.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

A plane trip can be easy if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and remember to pack a jacket just in case you get cold. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.

Question 10

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Lagos?

Accepted Answer

It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Lagos, here you come:

Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
Travelling with your favourite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
