As has become my habit, my outbound flight was in Economy. I checked in online but was only able to get seq.4.

Got to the airport fairly early because my loving husband was too eager to drop me off at the airport and get to work. So I was practically shoved out of the car at Murtala Muhammed Airport with my 3 suitcases sometime before 8AM and went off to check in.

I have become a familiar face at the VS desk. Check in was an absolute breeze and the extra time I spent was chatting with my friends at the Virgin desk.

I had been warned that the Oasis Lounge had been cut in half because of renovation but I wasn't quite ready for what I saw when I got there. The lounge was barely adequate in its full size but now, it was more like a slightly comfortable waiting room. Service was non existent as I got tired of waiting and eventually got up to order a drink from the bar.

Boarding was called at 9:30 but we were kept in the waiting area for a bit and boarding started with the usual priority and was unusually quick and efficient for a Nigerian flight. (I later found that a charter flight crashed shortly after taking off around 9:30 and airspace was about to be shut down).

The flight was full in UC and PE but fairly light in Y so as soon as ee reached cruising altitude AUs were given the opportunity to move to the empty rows so I moved from 32F where I was sandwiched between 2 people to 32A with 2 seats to myself.

Cabin crew were efficient and friendly. I can't complain about the food portions as I'm used to the little packs now.
