Do you have any tips for my flight to Makurdi?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy hints that will get your Makurdi holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Makurdi?
It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Watch out Makurdi, here you come:
  • Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
