Beremx:
My first flight was to Abuja courtesy of a great friend. It was equally my first time visiting Abuja. I was nervous initially but I became comfortable later. After that flight, I haven't traveled again by flight. Hope to travel and experience it soonest

I wonder why my mind keeps repeating boyfriend, boyfriend, boyfriend after reading your comment

Mine was last week Friday.
We experienced some turbulence
At that time i started regretting my decision to travel by air
Everyone was dead scared.
Thank God for everything
The experience was nice

It was nice and cool… I was looking around like a novie.. the hostess can easily identify a new flyer… so she approached me multiple times to ask if I needed any help for anything and also for drinks and food…

I watched some movies but I dint really follow the story line Cus my mind was on the flight… couldn’t sleep. when I saw us crossing the Atlantic Ocean, for hours..

We landed and I look around to make sure don’t forget anything.. the hostess wave goodbye with dere shining smiles…

I believe I will fly soon

Let me just copy it from one of my previous posts.

In my JSS1, my school took me and my schoolmates on an excursion to an airport. We were not allowed to enter an airplane because of 911 attack. But years later, I travelled by air.

The first flight I boarded was a local one. No family member or friend to guide me. I didn't know how and where to go when I entered the airport. I saw a place marked "Departure" (entrance) and took the route. I got to a scanning point and was searched and scanned. I asked a random worker on uniform a question and he pointed to the ticketing stand of the company I was to use. The rest was easy to detect and follow until boarding time. I saw my seat number on my ticket but didn't know how to locate the seat when I entered the plane. I didn't see number on any seat. I didn't know that the seat numbers are on the roof (should I call it ceiling?), not on the seats. I asked an air hostess who gave me a strange look before directing me to check the roof part above the seats. My first experience of turbulence (galloping in air 😀) scared me.

Another funny experience was when a hostess pushing trolley around to pack wastes after the passengers had had snacks got to my side, I myself trashed the wraps of my snacks into a waste container on the trolley and the hostess gave me a strange look. I then observed and noticed that other passengers were relaxed and she herself was picking the trashes from the trays, meaning I shouldn't have bothered myself to do the trashing myself. That was it. After then, I have travelled by air to 3 countries without difficulties in navigating through airports.

One of the things I have learnt from travelling by air is that the bigger an airplane is, the more comfort the airplane offers. For most small airplanes, no enough space for your legs, and you have to stretch your hands to the ceiling to adjust AC, turn light off or on and to press call button. But in most of bigger airplanes, you do the operations on a touchscreen in your front, and you have more space for your legs. You can't (or let me say you are not allowed to) recline your seat in some small airplanes.

I don learn somethings sha 😄

Till date, my ear still pops. I hate it. However, the taxing and take off is very trilling because of the speed.

Took I not me

Who taught you this?

from Ibadan to abj! notinz special! just one robot speaking into my ears! even I didn't understand her English self

chatinent:
I am quite acrophobic... I had to act up like I wasn't new to it but after it took off, I felt badly nauseous that to locate lavatory come bi problem for me. See sweat. I asked one member of the cabin crew and she giggled and guided me while staying outside the door. See me they struggle to reduce the volumn of the throwup with red eyes. Haha. Omo I finished, to come open door knob come bi problem for local man again. Had to knock a bit and she opened it trying to stifle her explosive laugher.

Trust me, I bone, and staggered to my space. Omo, another wahala of looking for my seat come bi problem o. I maintained steeze continuously falling my hands.

I think another time was going into the business class when I was economy. I no fit talk this one o.😅😅😅


What about you jare?

It was 2018.
The take off was the most thrilling part. I was just feeling somehow.

It's the take off that will be somehow.
But other parts are just normal.. u won't even know u moving.

But once u leave this country... one thing for sure is u will be very angry coming back.

Just normal wasn't too intrigued just that my school friend threw up mid air

My first experience I pretended like a pro.

My best experience would have to be “one gigantic airbus” experience via emirates to Dubai. That flight was yummy and magical. One of my fav scenes of that particular flight was how the pilot hovered around burjkhalifa and all the passengers had to look UP the windows unlike the traditional down to see the beautiful night scenery.
Turned out it’s the plane windows doing the magic like we were flying upside down!
The windows had a button to blur the glass incase of sunlight , instead of normal manual shutters

….can never forget that one flight in a hurry

Your mother?

My first flight was an evening flight to Lagos, I didn’t eat through out the day due to anxiety, even had a 3some with some girls and told them I will be entering a flight that evening and incase this was my last enjoyment, I want it to be double . Eventually entered the plane by 8 and was so scared, I closed my eyes all thru till we landed in Lagos.

Now I don turn frequent flyer 😁

First time was October 10, 2022. I was traveling to Japan, Tokyo precisely to do my masters having won the Japanese MEXT scholarship. It was an all-expenses paid trip. I took off from Abuja via Turkish airways by 11 pm in the night direct to Istanbul (about 6:30min) flight. When we were undergoing check at the Abuja airport, it was like as if it's a film. I could remember all the scholarship rejections I have been getting since finishing nysc in 2015, including the construction sites in Onitsha where I used to do labour work despite being the best graduating student of my cohort. Everything seemed like a movie when after the check, we kept on being told to move from one location to another to wait for flight time. While seating down with other travellers, I was full of thanksgiving in my mind, and I knew it was just grace. When I entered the plane, my god, I nearly cried. But the multitude of people coming in made me realise it's a normal thing. I sat beside the window with one guy travelling to Turkey with his father. When the plane moved, I didn't know that it was going up in the air untill the whole buildings begin to look so tiny while I looked down. I said in my mind good bye naija. I remembered my mother, my brother and friends who probably will be waiting for the morning to set out for hustling. As the plane kept on moving, the beautiful air hostess began to move something and my guy told me they will be serving us food. I laughed and was so happy. I ate all the things and said yest when the air hostess asked if I still care for more drink. Suddenly we began to see only clouds. We got to Istanbul very early in the morning. I laid over for 17 hrs before boarding from Istanbul to Tokyo. While in the Turkish airport, I was hopping from one restaurant to another, trying to finish 100usd I brought out from the money with me but it refused to finish. When we finally set off to Tokyo, they served us food twice. It was a long journey and while people beside me slept many times, I was awake and watching the clouds. I saw from the small screen places we have crossed and getting to(Bhutan, Azerbaijan, South Korea, china etc) when we finally landed in Tokyo, I nearly shout seeing the magnificence if the Haneda airport. I began to remember all those who ruled Nigeria and the depth of wickedness in them. At the airport, I also went through thorough check being a Nigerian. They told me to empty all the food stuffs and clothes. I gladly did and was eager to do more for them. They finished their checking and thanked me for cooperating with them. They asked if I want work permit. I said yes and they directed me to an office where I got it immediately. I slept in the airport instead of wasting money lodging hotel since Tokyo is one of the safest cities. In the morning, I asked for direction and followed instructions on how to get to my school via train. I got to my school around 10:30 in the morning. The student exchange division received me and said they have been expecting my arrival. They led me to my room in the school dorm. I began to thank God and remembered all the experiences I went through in Nigeria.
Right now, I am in the process of finishing my masters and have been admitted for PhD in same school and scholarship. Also, I got another masters admission and scholarship in California and now, am confused as to which choice to follow.
May God bless the effort of every Nigerian trying to become better in life.

I already had all round experience of airport routing and everything that has to do with both local and international air travel before I had the opportunity of travelling for the first time.

I already had contacts of different people at different department in the airport and friends that works with different airlines. I also have first hand information on almost all the popular international airports and different terminals with specific instructions at almost all the entry points.

Of course! I use to work with a travel company and I was very active in the business. So, flying for the first time was just as normal as travelling on a bus. The most fascinating thing for me was flying over Jeddah in Saudi Arabia. It was a beautiful scenery from the air. The most traumatic aspect of the journey was coming back into the country. I was ashamed of this country with ugly view below us while preparing for the landing.

Least I forget. I took 2 fine blankets, 8 bottles of small wines (2 each from the total of 4 different aircraft that made the journey). I also had some earpiece with me at the end of the journey.....

I was also changing my seats at will. I travel in the company of some of my friends. It was fun all through.

God when

I have never travelled by air only been to the airport twice to pick up someone but someday hopefully

.. was high....higher than a kite
