Here are some frequently asked questions (FAQs) on flight travels and tours to begin with

Answer: Yes, you will need a passport to travel outside of Nigeria. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months after your return and some countries require that you have at least one blank page in your passport. Not complying with these rules will most likely cause the airline to deny you boarding. For local flights, you can also fly with a valid driver's license or national ID card.

Answer: Flying is the safest form of long-distance transport the world has ever known. In 2018, some 4.3 billion passengers flew safely on over 46 million flights. The fatal accident rate was 0.28 per million flights, the equivalent of one fatal accident for every 4.2 million flights. Yet we still have accidents, so we know there is room for improvement. Each fatality is a tragedy. And that rededicates everyone in the aviation industry to our common goal of having every flight take-off and land safely.

Answer: We refer to "Security" to designate all procedures which aim to protect passengers, staff and planes from accidental/malicious harm, crime and other threats. Baggage screening and ID control are part of the security measures that you will have to go through when traveling by air.

We recommend that you read the latest security advice from the airport of departure before every flight.
