Do you have any tips for my flight to Maiduguri?
If you're not prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a pain-free start to your vacation in Maiduguri. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a great experience if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Maiduguri?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Maiduguri a breeze. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
  • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
