Na wa. E be like say Nigerians in the East Coast get issues.
Thank God say I dey San Diego County.

On the OP's point about carrying excessive lugguage is poignant. Those things may have caused the malfunctioning of the MMIA baggage carousels.

adaobi123:
Forget arik, my mum is too scared to enter their planes. Its either BA or KLM

chucky234: I so much love KLM

ItsModella:
Please, don't even defend MMIA right now. They need to fix their carousels for goodness sake. There are only two carousels, one is annoyingly slow and the other one isn't even working. That one has been defunct since I can remember.

I can't. My mum said nobody in my house is sponsoring any Nigerian airline

It's usually KLM, Air France, Delta for us.

CFCfan:

I don't think so.

adaobi123:
KLM has to be one of the best airlines around

ItsModella: 6-7 is beans. Most times I have to take a 9 hour flight from ATL to Amsterdam/Paris and a 6 hour flight from Amsterdam/Paris to Lagos. With some 4 hours layover....you haven't experienced REAL travel.

adaobi123:
THIS IS TRUE AND I AM ONE THEM. TEAM OVERLOAD LUGGAGE.

CFCfan:

Arik's pilots don't turn on the air-conditioning before take-off, according to some stories rendered last year.

Taking cooked meals - puff puff & jollof rice - past immigration/border patrol? Considering it was Alitalia that doesn't serve these sort of meals, I daresay it must be some serious laxity.

Paentera:

Untrue from my experience - Arik's international flights are out-sourced to foreign crews and each time I've taken Arik in the past five years, nothing of such happened. Im certain the story rendered must have been done either for dramatic effect or to discourage others from using the airline.

CFCfan:
Spot on. But the overall best airlines in the world are Asian/Middle-eastern.

Singapore airlines, Cathay Pacific, Qatar Airways, Etihad, Emirates are 20 steps above everyone else.

adaobi123:
LOOOOOL
I remember one time, a person advised bellview airline to my mum. She just dropped the phone and screamed 'tufiakwa, me, enter bellview you must be joking'.

Your flight should have had in-flight entertainment.

CFCfan:

Bellview is a no-go airline. I think they are defunct now.

CFCfan:

If/when the new Nigerian national carrier comes on stream, I may give it a try.

chucky234: I find that hard to believe either

ogugua88:

[size=13pt]I don't like movies and my music can ony take me so far. Lol. Sleeping is a lousy remedy as I believe I take 6-hour naps, only to wake and find that 47 minutes have passed.[/size]

chucky234: Now this got me laughing so loud that woke up my neighbours.
Bellview spell doom for travellers,though their services across West Afriac airspace was one of the best back then.

adaobi123:
Yeah they are no more. That airline was the route to death

adaobi123:
That's the point of the thread. Talking about your experiences flying with fellow Nigerians. It's ain't easy

chucky234: You have to give it a whole year before going on board that airline,except they purchase some new aircrafts which I doubt as Beoing is fully booked for the next few years.
