Reschedule Your Flight

This is the next step after you have missed your initial flight. Go to the ticket office and politely tell them that you missed your flight and would want to reschedule it. They can ask you for a token and you may be lucky to leave the same day after they have fixed another flight for you.

You Should Come Early to Airport

You must have learned about the frustrations of missing your flight. You would not want to experience it again which means that you have to come early to airport. Missing your flight the second time is not going to be fun, not to you or the ticket office. This means that you should beat all hurdles to make sure that you are on the reschedule flight. If it means relocating to a near-airport hotel, do so. If your airport is in Lagos or Abuja, you can book an airport hotel in Lagos or an airport hotel in Abuja. Airport hotels are hotels within few miles around the airport.

Make Contact

Now that you are ready to move, make quick calls to assure those at the end of the other side that you are coming to meet them without another sorry story. Make arrangements with your hotel which might be an airport hotel in Lagos or an airport hotel in Abuja to ensure you don’t wake up late.
