[@SassyFunke]

Happy Sunday beautiful people! I hope you enjoyed this video. And SHARE any video requests you may have. (a flight review/vlog is coming soon so stay tuned). Wishing you all a fantastic week ahead ❤❤

[@sodiqonanuga3070]

How did it go? Like how long did it take you to leave the airport and what did you need to have with you.?

[@WEEZEE01]

Hi sassy can one get the yellow departure card at the airport? Is yellow departure card same as yellow fever?

[@kehindealimi5629]

Sassy the new airport is lovely....

[@belloblessing6049]

Love the way you pay attention to the full details of Navigating through the Airport ❤

[@SassyFunke]

Thank you for this wonderful feedback

[@joye5761]

Beautiful airport hopefully I will be able to experience it in December by God’s grace, Nigerians 🇳🇬 please learn to appreciate something WITHOUT any form of negativity. I was going through the comments and people are talking about maintenance culture why that, same thing online about the electric trains I don’t get it. It’s what we say about our country that determines how WE are treated by foreigners and perceived as well (no exceptions) I am glad of the positive developments in Nigeria ❤.

[@olaoyedepo3705]

Honestly, the amount of checking is ridiculous. What on earth do they think is worth trafficking out of 9ja. Just avenue to chop money.

[@christianahmatthias5604]

I will be flying to Johannesburg next week, so timely vide-o❤❤❤😮😮

[@Reeny-qr77]

How was it please ?

[@obianujuike9160]

Thanks Sassy for the information. The new terminal looks great. I hope to enjoy it when I come to our father land. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ayoksades9118]

Sassy ! The New Airport fine ooooooooo 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@davidolarewaju6323]

Thank you so much. Sassy the new airport fine O... Hmmmmm the Multiple check up is unspeakable😂😂😂

[@bonmasbonmas6622]

I appreciate your videos

[@demetriusvolkodav4923]

Sassy, the new airport fine o! Thanks again for some critical Sassy Funke content navigating us through new terminal. Hopefully, Nigerians will embrace this new terminal and demand that a maintenance culture be embraced and treating it as the shiny jewel that it is. I didn’t hear from you any points of employee extortion… has that been eviscerated?! Thanks again for your essential content😊!

[@SassyFunke]

You're welcome. Thank you for your continuous support of my content.

[@m65520]

There's a table now for you to put your luggage on at the first NDLEA check point. It was really seamless for me and hassle free. Loads of space, working charging ports etc

[@SassyFunke]

Thank you for providing this well needed update 👏🏾👏🏾

[@dayoawosika138]

Sassy, Longtime o!! Looking good as always. Babes, The new airport fine o!! Keep up the good work. I am looking forward to seeing the new terminal soon!! 🙏🏾👊🏽🙏🏾😘

[@joyneneogonnaya6735]

Sassy, the new airport fine oooo 😂😂😂❤

[@raymondcrystal2477]

Well explained no difference from what you said. The new terminal is very clean just hope they can maintain it.

[@UnknowingMe120]

Sassy the new aport is fine and amazing!

[@smithivan1457]

Thanks for sharing, at least I now have idea of what to expect in my next trip.

[@SassyFunke]

Glad it was helpful!

[@denisehorner4683]

Thank you so much for this updated video. This was the new, international terminal, correct? I will be flying on United Airlines. Is this where I will go? Thank you for including the bathrooms! That was a concern of mine. Yes, please make another video and show the shops and restaurants before and after security. Where do you sit to wait for your plane? How long does it take from the time your ride drops you off until you can get to your gate if you have to check a bag. So many steps, I need to make a list. Just to get into the airport you have to show your boarding information and open your bag on the ground for them to poke around? Also could you make an updated video on landing in the airport coming from the US? What should I expect as an US citizen traveling for the first time. Thank you!!!

[@omololukalejaiye3097]

Sassy, the new airport fine ooo

[@SassyFunke]

Thank you :)

[@Toby_Escapades]

Thank you will be flying from this terminal next week

[@abiolasaibu645]

Sassy😘. The new airport fine ooo 😃

[@1homebred]

Yet to have that experience, Lufthansa still uses the old terminal . Less hassle this time only carry on for a short day Breeze out, breeze in online check in🏃🏿

[@babafemiesther108]

Nice One, keep it up

[@dominiqueking4344]

Sassy, the new airport fine o! 😁😎

[@Odua1]

The last time I saw a paper boarding pass was 12yrs ago. Since then it’s been on my phone. The airport is beautiful though

[@joye5761]

They still use it in the Middle East (Qatar, Saudi, UAE, Jordan) 😊

[@dcg2275]

Thank you so much. Sassy the new airport fine o.

[@michealnicholas1503]

i wish to see the live videos more in the airport .

[@bonmasbonmas6622]

By July I will use the facilities to confirm. Thank you

[@MsGG-International]

Thank you Sassy Funke for this much needed video Keep up the good work. . I used Qatar Airlines in March this year and found out that we checked in via the New International Airport/Terminal, but we actually departed from the old terminal 😆. Also, there was a table for your luggage at that 1st security check point.

[@SassyFunke]

You're welcome. Hopefully sooner than later they can operate most airlines from the new terminal

[@juliusadeleke35]

Thanks for the update.

[@cassieneal6427]

Looks like a beautiful airport. Great information very informative. I know security is needed, but if they already checked you in once, why go through the same process when you are going through boarding? Surely, if someone is doing something illegal, that should be caught when you first enter the airport. That many check, nothing or anyone, should be making it through this airport.

[@Tirelesswarrior]

Thanks a bunch. It's well explained. It looks great but a little strewn with many checks. Lets know when many major airlines begun to use this terminal.

[@GoodhopeNwokogba]

Thank you dear.the new airport fine o

[@olalekanagboola7492]

Sassy u r doing a good job.

[@denisehorner4683]

I will be flying to Lagos in Oct. on United airlines. It seems it always arrives at Terminal 1, Gate E55. Could you please do a video on where that is? I cannot find a map of the Lagos airport. I have seen the beautiful new terminal but Terminal 1 is the old terminal, right? And where will I come out to meet my friend? and where will they drop me off when I depart to fly back to the US from Terminal 1, Gate E55. If you are kind enough to do a video, could you also include the bathrooms like you did on your video of the new terminal? Thank you so much for your videos! I need all the help I can get lol

[@humakuwah4649]

Lagos's new aiport mobile procedures are very compartmentalized making for better efficiency. You have a great voice Sassy. One that can speak on any topic. My Tanzanian friend loves the way Nigerian women speak. Like "fine o". haha You know I really do not know why, other than repetition, they are continued to be referred to as suitcases. Most travelers do not pack suits. Good stuff once again Sassy. Thumbs Up!

[@SassyFunke]

This is so kind of you. Thank you so much🙏🏽

[@hakeemsogbamu1008]

Sassy the new airport fine oooooo

[@SassyFunke]

Thank you :)

[@shedrackodo5112]

Please and please wats the difference between flights tickets and boarding pass

[@margaretabifarin9420]

Sassy, which Airlines are departing from the new international terminal?

[@chincherri]

Seems they have taken off things like the hourglass thing at the main check invplace..sorry am abroad..ks this true?

[@patiencebateren9706]

I'm happy that the airport is new but the checking is just too much and stressful😊

[@baruwaomotolanioniko5043]

You've said it Funke,,, the maintenance culture, it's a matter of time,,,, one example is Ogbudu resort

[@SassyFunke]

Obudu resort is a test case indeed

[@andersonojoshimite6047]

@@SassyFunke Obudu is not a test case for the following reasons. First, it is owned by Cross River State and not Federal Government. Secondly, Obudu and Tinaoa were abandoned by the Ben Ayade administration. Thirdly, Obudu is a resort not an airport. The comparison is akin to the orange and apple analogy.

[@dcrownprince337]

​@@andersonojoshimite6047what these people are simply trying to say is that we lack maintenance culture in Nigeria and allow supposedly good public projects rust away. Maybe i should include the national stadiums both in Lagos and Abuja.

[@kolawoledare6421]

Hello, do I need vassination doc for bording at Lagos airport

[@Kristinaiscurrency999]

WOW? Thanks for the information.

[@SassyFunke]

You're welcome. Thank you for watching

[@markrobby7136]

No electricity at Lagos Airport, folks. They took light yesterday at this same airport for hours. Disgrace!

how does arrivals works?

[@stephanieawadje2988]

Thanks so much for this. I just want to ask if a yellow vaccination card is required for a student traveling to the US

[@shordy77]

Dammmmm how much time the check u. I wanna take my kids but all that checking n dealing with kids imma lose it

[@sholaojedokun6362]

Good job Sassy! Great information. What is the estimated timeline (worst case scenario) to go through this process at this Lagos International Airport(Terminal 2)? Thanks

[@SassyFunke]

It took me approx. 30-40 mins but I would give yourself min 1hr in case the immigration queue is longer.

[@Oluwakemiabiola]

Sassy, the new airport fine o

[@SassyFunke]

Thank you Kemi ❤

[@samuelsotunde3622]

I can’t wait for virgin Atlantic to use this airport

[@adebowaleodufuwa6759]

Hi where does Virgin Atlantic use

[@olukoyaopeyemisolomon5060]

What restaurants are there? A good flight starts with a good meal for me and I always like to buy chicken for mid flight hunger

[@sodiqonanuga3070]

How did it go? Like how long did it take you to leave the airport and what did you need to have with you.?

[@mujeebsikiru7109]

Sassy the new airport fine o😊

[@SassyFunke]

Thank you for watching :)

[@Juzt-Oyin]

Its not all airline that are in the new terminal right? Thank you for all these. I really do appreciate. As a first time traveller going this month, it is overwhelming. I've never even seen the airport physically in my life. So the anxiety is at its peak.😢

[@SassyFunke]

Yes not all airlines are going through this terminal

[@XeniaAlvarado-eb1wi]

Thanks for sharing this insightful information. I’m wondering- do they require proof of vaccines or proof of vaccination from COVID? Or is that not a requirement anymore?

[@japhetTolorunju]

Not required anymore, I traveled to nigeria and returned to usa this month. Covid vaccination no more required

[@adebowaleodufuwa6759]

New Airport is fine oh ...quick question you mentioned two places where family not traveling with you cannot enter can you please clarify at what point does your family say bye to you my apologies if a similar question has been asked and answered

[@SassyFunke]

From the entrance of the airport terminal, they are likely to turn family members away. If they don't and they are able to enter the terminal, they will definitely not let them go towards immigration (after the check in process is completed)

[@ajbaba1026]

Hi Sassy Funke, can I still travel from the UK to Nigeria with my expired Nigerian passport?

[@terry4801]

Watching this video will stress people out before they even get to this airport. I wonder how many passengers miss their flights because of all these checks and delaying tactics? These officials will be after some dash even more now due to the current economic situation.

[@joyneneogonnaya6735]

This video is very informative but I'm not gonna lie, I've lost count of all the checking.... checking,...... checking.......hmmmmmm.....I think it's fair to say that you need to arrive 4hours early so you have enough time to go through all the checks and get to your boarding area on time. Just my observation 🚶🚶🚶🚶

[@darlaharvey2319]

When will all flights start traveling into the new airport? That other airport is hiddeous

[@SassyFunke]

I agree that old airport need to go

[@lanrea9373]

Thanks sassy. I was just wondering why the NDLEA did not see all these drugs going thru the Airport to different countries.

[@SassyFunke]

They actually catch a high number of people too

[@johnsonsmith912]

What about those on wheelchair?

[@SupremeBros2012]

Bloody heck how many security checks, these guys diffuse the customer experience of travelling One security check at the entrance should be enough plus the X-ray after passport control It’s a rigmarole The other thing I notice is at immigration, beside the warped way of creating employment is what is the essence of the two checks, can’t one agent perform all asks even if you have to have more agents on the job, it will make things flow better and give a good experience The airport needs to flow otherwise it’s just a shiny object with the same obstacles Great building but the process need to improve otherwise it’s still not a good experience travelling through Nigeria

[@nanaceonyamekye3701]

Air peace is a nice flight I must say but

[@AfroSamurai1089]

Looks like this is a terminal fitting of Nigeria's position on the continent. The security checks appeae to be onerous but one hopes they are there for the safety of passengers and the city.

[@triedstoneSports]

2:38 "...How long will this last with our maintenance culture...?" Why are Nigerians so inherently negative? You can't make one positive video without inserting a "but". Abuja airport is functional years after commissioning. The rail networks and stations are well-run. We are not animals. Stop the needless negativity.

[@SupremeBros2012]

In Funke’s defense , our rap sheet is long but it is understood that we shouldn’t project what is not there , it’s hard when you have precedence though My beer with the airport is not structural which I find impressive, it’s operational (tedious process)

[@triedstoneSports]

@@SupremeBros2012 I agree, but we also have precedence of sound maintenance. When the Abuja Airport was commissioned, many said it wouldn't last a year. It has been running efficiently for years now. Ditto: The Lagos-Ibadan and Kaduna-Abuja Rails. We need to stop this penchant for always expecting doom for our country. It is self-defeatist.

[@andersonojoshimite6047]

That's the effect of years of being brainwashed by Western propaganda machinery. Sadly, Nigerian KZbinrs are the most unpatriotic in Africa.

[@tayokarate]

Which rail network? Rail from the airport ? No it's not working

[@triedstoneSports]

@@tayokarate I meant the existing Lagos-Ibadan and Kaduna-Abuja rail networks. Are they not running efficiently?

[@anthoniaotaniyenarigbe797]

The whole process of security is way too much. Someone will missed their flight by the time their done checking. They need to improve on that. It should be more improved system and well structured,making it an easy process for the travellers.

[@mikemakinwa]

Ah the amount of checks seem very exhausting

[@edwinodus]

❤Afunkube❤

[@fasolacork]

What about bribes? Is it still so bad like before ? Im afraid to travel trough Lagos airport as im sure they will lock me up or make my flight delay as i will never ever pay few hundreds euro bribes to take my departure...I want to visit nigeria but that airport making me stress and change my holiday plans every single time when i think about nigeria....because of these bribes last 15 times i went to east africa instead Nigeria...hope something changed over there and these days people can departure in Lagos like everywhere else without stress and bribes...please make a video with updates. Respect Sassy

[@folashadeadetula4607]

I hope the extortion level of the old terminal hasnt found its way in this new terminal

[@elizabethkuye9166]

Funke, thanks for the information but how many checking do you need? I have not traveled through the new airport but I am not impressed my sister. Just the maize you go through before you finally rest will make you dizzy. Common people. When are we going to make things easy for our people? If you travel through JFK airport, you only need to check-in at the counter, go through the TSA and go to the boarding gate. Very simple. I appreciate what the government is doing but more needs to be done. We are a great nation for crying out loud. Let us do a better job. I still travel through the old airport but I pray for improvement. Good job sassy Funke ❤

[@thatwakandaboy]

Sassy, what kind of camera do you use for your videos?

[@SassyFunke]

DJI osmo pocket and my iphone

[@abbyjeboda8335]

The people that you pay for trolleys are scarmers they took #1,500 from me despite the fact that I told her I do not need any help. I went back to get #1,300 after making a lot of fuss.

[@SusanD7112]

It would be wonderful if this new terminal was available for international travelers using the major carriers (Delta, United, Virgin etc.) we still have to use the old terminal 😢

[@SassyFunke]

Hopefully sooner than later when they fix the structural issues

[@cheryl7351]

Darn, I'm using Delta next week😢

[@kingsleyemeka6194]

Is a shame so small on lift up stairs u will see more complaints I query for hours outside is too small place

[@SassyFunke]

I have heard a lot of feedback on this. Its a shame indeed

[@teeteeme5752]

I'm sorry but they can do better to expand it and make it a whole new international airport

[@maxteel2017]

The airport is tooo small and it's not complicated.

[@victoriajackson6997]

Do I need to lock up my luggage?

[@SassyFunke]

Yes its advisable

[@hakunamatata2000]

try to do less cuts in your editing

[@uba8227]

Why so many screenings and checkings? This is cumbersome. Can anything be simple at all in Nigeria? I have been through many international airports, and none was so tedious. You have only one security screening for everything ranging from contraband, safety, and drug. When Nigerian Authorities introduce any new thing, they show unnecessary overzealousness.

[@ezekielukpong7471]

Don't cause panic to first time people coming in to the country. You keep saying" I'm not sure or maybe " be careful

[@praiseenterprise8605]

I was hoping to see more of the airport than watching you talking

[@benjionosakponomeakpojaro22]

Sassy, why are some of nigerian security officer's don't like to put on their uniform, so that we can identify them better, instead of putting on casual clothes. Or are they ashamed of the nigeria uniform, or should be proud of their work and the country nigeria.

[@SupremeBros2012]

Agreed, it also creates resentment when you see someone in a seemingly casual clothes asking you questions about where you are going I still think all these checks are counter productive and it perpetuates the bribery culture

[@promisebethel2226]

Oga does people are on night shift

[@SassyFunke]

Not at all. They are not ashamed. It is VERY intentional. I once approached an official once to ask this same question and they said it was a way to work undercover and identify suspicious activities easier.

[@madlynehall429]

Too much details
