Abuja to Port Harcourt
This route skips Lagos. You leave Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport and land at Port Harcourt International Airport in Omagwa.
What to do with this route
Both ends have a terminal question. In Abuja, follow the domestic terminal on the ticket rather than the general-aviation building FAAN describes for non-scheduled flights. In Port Harcourt, use the domestic terminal unless the ticket says otherwise.
