I wonder what today brings for me. I have a zero seven hundred return flight which I believe will take place at ten hundred hours or a little later. Coming into the city was a frustrating experience as my sixteen hundred flight was pushed to twenty hundred hours which later got adjusted four times into twenty three hundred hours. I’m expecting the same inconvenience this morning. 2 Likes |

Update: My flight went smoothly. It seems morning flights are the priority for Nigerian airlines. By 6:45 a.m. we were called for boarding towards the appointed 7:00 a.m. journey. In the airplane we spent an extra 45 minutes waiting for latecomers, other departing planes and finally making all preparations before we took off. I had zero complaints at the end of the day. It seems morning flights are what I’ll pick whenever considering journeys. Once in a while I’ll journey by road, but if the money is there I’ll spend it without thinking twice. 26 Likes |

otokx: Lol, I booked a return ticket Ibom air ticket for 2 passengers on 29th Nov. On December 4th, I decided to reschedule my flight, the whole process to reschedule the flight was a nightmare due to their web page having poof user friendly interface. I couldn't see my own personal booking reference and despite calls and mails, nothing came fruitful, I spent ₦11,000 extra to reschedule, only for their mail to eventually come and their call centre to call me, and then asked me what I intended to do. I told them clearly I want to reschedule my flight to 21st December while the passenger that I co-booked stick to her 14th December flight. Alas, I was made to pay additional ₦37,000 (to be on Premium Seat cos no more economy seats left) and they effected the change to 21st December 14:00hrs flight. Suddenly, they for whatsoever reasons known to them, decided to bring the flight time to 12:00hrs. On 21st December at about 02:00hrs (2am), they sent a mail that the flight is now 11:00hrs. This made me quickly reschedule all I had planned for and even abandon some other tasks lined up so as to meet with the new time. Got to airport and checked in my luggage, and proceeded to board the aircraft. The flight was smooth and we landed in Uyo at 13:00hrs approx. We waited for more than 1 hour to retrieve our luggage and when we didn't see any sign of our luggage coming, we decided to start questioning. Then a representative of Ibom air came and informed us that they left our luggage in Abuja. Was the aircraft cabin area filled? No! Why was our luggage left behind? Flimsy reasons. I had to spend another ₦5,000 for Bolt to go pick up my luggage that evening by 8pm. Totally terrible experience. 36 Likes 5 Shares |

How many hours from Lagos to Benin by road now |
Re: My Four-hour Flight From Abuja To Benin by GboyegaD(m): 5:47pm On Dec 26, 2021 |
Not really but one I encountered and promised myself to avoid any connecting flight through Charlotte although this was about a decade ago. It was on a summer morning and we had too many airplanes about taking off. We spent almost 45minutes before it got to our turn. I think when we got to the runway, another airline were the ones given clearance and until all their planes had gone before AA planes started flying. For the most of it though, I sleep off once we are about taxiing except it is an airport in flying off from for the 1st time. 1 Like |
