This TR is about my 1 hr flight from Lagos - the commercial centre to Abuja -the nation's capital.
This was supposed to be a 14:30 flight from Lagos to Abuja so I left my office at 13:00 with the intention of getting to airport at 13:45. However even though I was 5 minutes away from the airport by 13:30, I managed not to get to the airport until 14:30 thanks to the legendary Lagos traffic. Convinced that I'd missed the flight, I was going to the customer service desk to pay the re-booking fee when I heard the announcement for the arrival of VK46. Lucky me eh?
So I made a detour to the check in desk, confirmed that I was stll able to check n for the flight, checked in and made my way to the departure lounge which was rather hot. I didn't linger there and quickly took the elevator up to the VIP lounge. For the reasonable sum of Two thousand Naira (about £8) you get a snack and cold drinks, but most importantly, comfortable sofas and aircon.
Eventually boarding was announced at 15:30 so I left the lounge and headed to the plane (I think it was aBoeing 737-400) and boarded immediately. Cabin crew were definitely trained by VS and you still get the sense that you're on a Virgin flight as it's the same efficient and friendly service as you would expect.
All in all, it was a good flight and I felt I should put up a TR as a guide in case any V Flyers are ever in my neck of the woods
