Do you have any tips for my flight to Benin City?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Benin City could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Benin City?
It's all about being organised. We've rounded up some helpful hints for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Benin City, here you come:

  • Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
  • Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
