Three hours for international — Air Peace desks die at 90 minutes
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.
T1 is closed — T2, the temp hall, MMA2 and GAT are four different buildings
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.
Lounge water if you have access — buy a sealed bottle landside if not
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.

LOS · Ikeja’s split-campus hub: T1 is closed, international lives in T2 plus a temporary hall, domestic is MMA2 or GAT, Bolt is back and Uber is gone — 7.14 million is 2024 traffic, not T2’s 14-million capacity leftover.
COO · Benin's main gateway (about 550,000 passengers a year): one compact terminal close to central Cotonou, with flights to Paris, Brussels, Istanbul, Addis Ababa and Casablanca, a dense West African network and three Priority Pass lounges, but limited food and strict visa and yellow fever checks.
