"Arriving in Abuja domestic terminal is quite straight forward and fairly easy to get connection into town. Local taxi mafia is efficient and you don't have to start your trip in the usual Nigerian fashion with a monster argument with the driver about the fare. The price of a transfer is standard - 3000 Naira into the center of town which is reasonable considering the distance into town.  Departure - Probably the highest concentration of hustlers in comparison to the other Nigerian airports. Real crap experience particularly for the first timer. For domestic flights you buy your ticket at the counter negotiate your overweight penalty (someting for da boys) and head round to the departure lounge. Be warned when its time to board be at the front of the que and dash to get on the plane first. Your seat may well have been sold to two or three other people too and if you are not sitting in the seat you have no chance of claiming it and you may miss the flight if its full. As for a refund - good luck. Particularly a problem if you are travelling Friday afternoons."
