Flying can be exciting, but it can also be stressful if you’re not prepared. From long security lines to delayed flights and last-minute document issues, a lot can go wrong. At Links and Tours Ltd., we’ve helped thousands of Nigerians travel with ease—and we know exactly how to make your trip as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Before you head to the airport for your next adventure, here are 8 essential air travel tips you should know.
Before you even book your flight, make sure your international passport is valid (at least six months beyond your return date) and your visa is approved. Missing or expired documents can ruin your trip before it starts.
🔹 Bonus Tip: Keep both physical and digital copies of all your travel documents.
For international flights, arrive at least 3 hours before departure. Nigerian airports can get busy, especially during peak travel seasons. Early arrival gives you time to check in, clear immigration, and deal with any surprises.
Make sure your carry-on complies with airline size and weight limits. Avoid packing liquids over 100ml in your hand luggage and keep power banks in your carry-on, not checked bags.
🔹 We recommend using packing cubes or travel organizers for easier packing.
Choose simple, comfortable clothing, especially for long flights. Avoid belts, heavy jewelry, and shoes that are difficult to remove—you’ll thank yourself during airport security checks.
Download your airline’s app or sign up for SMS alerts. This way, you’ll be notified instantly about delays, gate changes, or cancellations.
🔹 At Links and Tours Ltd., we also track your flight and keep you informed before and during your journey.
Always pack a few essentials in your hand luggage:
A change of clothes
Toiletries
Chargers and power bank
Passport, visa, and insurance
Snacks and water bottle (fill it after security)
🔹 In case your checked bag is delayed, you’ll still be covered.
Every airline has different baggage rules. Check your ticket to know how many bags you’re allowed and how much weight is permitted. Overweight luggage fees can be expensive.
🔹 Book with Links and Tours Ltd., and we’ll confirm your baggage policy upfront.
