Carry-On Must-Haves for Nigerian Flights

Whether you are flying for 1 hour to Abuja or 6 hours to London, your carry-on bag is your survival kit.

1. A Warm Hoddie/Jacket

Nigerian airlines (and international ones leaving Nigeria) BLAST the AC. It can be freezing on board. Dress in layers.

2. Power Bank (In Carry-On ONLY)

Lithium batteries are fire hazards and are BANNED in checked luggage. If you leave a power bank in your suitcase, security will open your bag and seize it (destroying your lock). Keep it in your hand luggage.

3. Noise-Canceling Headphones

• Domestic: Flights can be noisy (babies, chatter).
• International: Essential for sleep.

4. Hand Sanitizer & Wipes

Tray tables are rarely sanitized between hops. Wipe down your seat area.

5. Pen (Blue/Black Ink)

For filling out Immigration/Customs forms. Crew rarely have extras.

6. Snacks

For domestic flights, you usually get "Chin-Chin" and juice. If you are hungry, bring a sandwich.
