This is the fakest story i have ever read. From begining to the end, the whole story is DEFINATELY fake. For starters, there is nowhere in hell that any authority be it immigration, customs, or airport security, will tear your passport. Even if you are caught red handed smuggling drugs or with explosives, they definately won't rip your passport apart. Secondly, there is no way you will go to an airline country office and specifically tell them Kiev but they book another destination for you. It has never happened. And then the Op noticed a different airport code but still went ahead with the journey? camman guys!! Thirdly, you didn't eat for three days? Does that mean you are travelling with zero cash on you? Highly unlikely, if not what stops you from patronizing all the Mcdonalds, KFCs, Burger Kings, E.t.c that i know for sure exist inside both cairo and istanbul international airports? Fourthly, So you heard the announcement like: This is the boarding announcement for Egypt air flight ------- for Moldova and you still went ahead to board the flight? The alternate scenario is that the announcement is for a flight to Kiev which magically terminated in Moldova(which is impossible) or else the whole airport would be in caos as every passenger would be complaining. Fifthly, Airline cabin crew doesn't have the authority to detain anyone, So how come they detained you and even tore your passport to pieces? Six, It is IMPOSSIBLE not to be served several dishes on an international flight. Sleeping passengers are woken up to choose their meal, unless you specifically tell them you don't want anything(after they wake you up), which is not likely because then hunger will kill you. Look hear mehn, this is nothing but a cheap blackmail against egypt air that common sense will tell you is fake. I ain't saying Egypt air ain't bad though, the murraphukers once served me a vegetarian meal made up of only leaves while rest of the passenger were enjoying beef or fish or chicken. At another time, they refused to allow me exit the airport while i am on a 21 hour transit time at cairo international airport. I won't blame them for that though as everyone is required to have a transit visa before exiting the airport(i didn't have one), but they still gave us meal tickets and constantly brought us hot tea and were generally nice. That was back then, now the transit time in cairo is less than 3 hours for all destinations. Well, now i prefer flying Emirates anyway not because other airlines are bad, but because everything about emirates is just world class 1 Like |

CityNG: I have seen your comments to others on this thread and it is interesting how quickly you pick up fights at the slightest provocation. I have said nothing to deserve your acerbic comments but I will consciously stay away from playing this in your turf. If you can't handle being challenged when you submit facts, then refrain from using the internet. Some of us will challenge what you spew, and within reason. So deal with it. 4 Likes |

to be honest i don't know why nigerian parents are eager to ship off their wards to far places in the name of education unaccompanied and unsupervised if they can afford to pay his tuition then they can equally afford to have either the mum or dad go with him considering his age secondly as an educated person why can you not book your own tickets online and only go to pay at their office if necessary in this age of online payment why allow someone else to book you to a wrong destination? Which brings me to my own story when i had a trip to the Caribbean in order to avoid visas and due to the short notice i was convinced by an agent to book a route that needed no visas needless to say by the time i got to my destination after 4 days i knew that i cannot wish my enemy such ordeal so why put myself through it? and it was there i noticed why some people claim to be maltreated by airport staff or immigration officers is that they don't know how to present themselves coherently with sufficient evidence to backup what they are saying bearing in mind that these people have heard all sorts of stories from people attempting to game the system. 1 Like |

Egypt Air is Crap for sure. My luggage got left in Cairo but thank God it came on the next flight. . I also know that Nigerians are treated suspiciously at transit points. Blame those who tarnish the country's name abroad. Can't verify this story as the poster sounds extremely ignorant of travel rules but being 17 yrs old,I understand. |
Re: Egypt Air Wrongly Routed A Nigerian Student To Moldova by Pennywise(m): 7:30am On Sep 14, 2014 |
The Egypt air official who tore up his passport may have been trying to destroy evidence. Has this become standard procedure with that airline when they think a case may be brought against them? It will be silly for this family not to exploit what promises to be a winnable case with potentially huge payoff. In other countries lawyers will be knocking on their door day and night rather than the over-threaded charge and bail path our lawyers choose to take. |

aaidel: Don't mind them ojare The issue at hand wasn't if I had a visa or allowed entry (same thing), the issue was that I went into Madrid to eat but someone else with a Nigerian passport wasn't allowed to do that. And I only brought it up to show how far our national integrity has fallen. I now fully understand that some Nairalanders are juvenile delinquents. |

I find it credible that the Egypt Air personel could just not believe that someone would be as dense as to purchase the wrong ticket, get the wrong boarding pass and board the wrong plane. This doesn't excuse the behavior but I am matured and travelled enough to see things from different perspectives. |

aaidel: It's the other way round. A visa doesn't guarantee you entry and it is the prerogative of the immigration to allow you into the country. He wasn't issued a visa. Except there are no legitimate reasons to be visiting, an American citizen cannot be turned away from a Spanish airport. That is normal procedure (based on agreements between both countries) and not a celebrated case like your friend makes it seem. |

CityNG: I don't know what planet you are dude but I don't know how you expect a Nigerian passport holder to be allowed entry into Spain without a EU visa, in this day and age. Yes, we lost our respect over the years but that's not news. I think you made your point that you have an American passport and you even showed us the evidence. That was the crux of your message even though you tried to conceal it by feigning ignorance. For the records, it is normal procedure that you were allowed into Spain as an American citizen without a visa. |

cautious: Just as I thought, your angst is with Americans. This was never about America or celebration (only someone with deep anti US sentiments will harbor that), the issue was that a fellow traveller was denied entry solely because he was holding a Nigerian passport.

CityNG: surely having got to moldova you will have a hard time convincing anyone that wasn't your intended destination as the flight would have to be announced, calls for boarding made and even the pilot would have announced before taking off and it would have been on the screens on the plane not to mention the customs and immigration cards given for entry, this isn't even a case of same city names different countries. once you have missed all those cues it makes your story all the more unbelievable that the ticketing agent sold you a wrong ticket. one other thing bothering me is how the lady that asked for his visa at istanbul did not pick up the error because there is no way i can present to board a flight to moldova with a ukrainian visa but these are all things for lawyers to figure out but knowing the average nigerians laid back attitude i doubt this will ever go further than a story that touches the heart 1 Like |

aaidel: Absolutely. The UK requires any American that has a criminal record to apply for a visa as they will most certainly be sent back based on the severity of their crimes. For the USA, as a Briton (who traditionally doesn't need visa to enter the US) if you've ever been denied entry on ESTA (basically showing up at a US border without a visa and asking to be poarolled into the US) then you can never use ESTA again and must always apply for a visa. So this idiotic idea that he has that you can just show up at a border and be admitted just because you;r san American is ludicrous. It just shows that he is not a savvy traveller. |

Re: Egypt Air Wrongly Routed A Nigerian Student To Moldova by Nobody: 9:34am On Sep 14, 2014 |
aaidel: Nope not true perhaps you need to expand your education beyond Googling. Why do you have an adverse reaction to people that have first hand experience as opposed to Googling? Prior to boarding, the airline scans your passport and send it ahead to the final destination (at least US or UK) so that they can figure out if you're awaited person or a threat to national security or in the case of the US if you're on the no fly list. The immigration services will still interview you before entry so it's serving two distinct processes. Just as an example, "I" just showed up in Madrid immigration, they were not "expecting me nor were prepared for me". I was originally simply a passenger headed to LAX to the airline. So tell me how would the airline know that I would decide to go to Madrid for breakfast ahead of time? |
