  - label: Timing
    title: Three hours for international — Air Peace desks die at 90 minutes
    detail: >-
      Domestic Air Peace desks open 3 hours and close 45 minutes (boarding 15).
      Regional desks open 4 hours and close 60 minutes (boarding 20). Web
      check-in on the Air Peace T&Cs is 24 hours–1 hour domestic and 24 hours–3
      hours regional/international. Confirm the hall at
      flyairpeace.com/departure-arrivals/ — Air Peace splits GAT and MMA2 by
      route.
    summary: >-
      FAAN asks international passengers to arrive at least 3 hours out during
      the T1 rehab. Air Peace international counters open 6 hours before
      departure and close 90 minutes out; boarding closes 20 minutes.

    title: >-
      T1 is closed — T2, the temp hall, MMA2 and GAT are four different
      buildings
    detail: >-
      The temporary hall is 8,000 m², 20 desks, 3 gates, peak 1,500. First
      passenger 2 Mar 2026 on Middle East Airlines; Ethiopian, KLM and Air
      France also used it at opening. Follow the airline, not a 1979 T1 photo.
      Skywalk T1–T2 is not live.
    summary: >-
      International check-in is either T2 or the temporary departure hall next
      to T2. Arrivals stay at T2. Domestic is MMA2 or GAT / MMA1. There is no
      airside walk between international and domestic.

    title: Lounge water if you have access — buy a sealed bottle landside if not
    detail: >-
      Skip leftover SEO naira bottle prices. The 2019 PESP Candy / Barcelos
      photos are MMA2, not the closed 1979 T1.
    summary: >-
      FAAN does not publish an airside fountain map or a bottle tariff. Atelier
      / Air Peace / MMA2 VIP pour water once you are in. MMA2 landside food
      court is the certainty buy for a sealed bottle.

    title: 'Priority Pass is Atelier, MMA2 VIP or Gabfol — not Air Peace'
    detail: >-
      Do not walk SDS E-Wing, Oasis D-Wing, Skyway, BA or AF/KLM rooms as live —
      those sat in T1. FAAN says unnamed VIP rooms exist in the temporary hall;
      they are not named on Priority Pass this pass.
    summary: >-
      Atelier is the T2 international card lounge (4.2 from 386 PP reviews, max
      3 h, under-12 free). MMA2 VIP is domestic 3F. Gabfol is GAT Arik wing
      only, 07:00–17:00. Air Peace Executive Lounge is F/J on a T2 Air Peace
      boarding pass.
