Good

I don't want to open a thread but I need an answer to this question. My friend just got wedded and uploaded a picture of herself and hubby just outside their new home or somewhere. Its was a photo grid of several photos and I noticed that the guy was having a massive bo.ner while snapping those pics. Should I tell her to take down the pics undecided I'm sure nobody will want to tell her but it's quite obvious. Don't want to hurt her feelings too
if its a massive boner they probably have noticed too,they just letting you guys know they had a great honeymoon

That number 4 is totally wrong! You will get a cheaper rate than airline website if you book ticked from a verified agent because airline always give them some discount

Lagos to abuja book it by 1am shocked shocked. I don't think your strategy works on domestic flights.
Op isn't referring to flying by 1am. He's referring to booking the flight by 1am.
There's a difference.

Na to begin set alarm for 1am to dey check flight o.

@Chloe7 , you were right after all! grin
Still waiting patiently for Emirates or Lufthansa discount promo for my September/October travel. Me i don't have the 280k I am seeing now.

Please how do I clear cookies on my phone? Once I open Lufthansa site on my device, and try to enter LOS-JFK, the last dates I entered some days ago will pop up. So the cookies part is true. And the booking early part as well. I'm guilty. I like to plan well ahead, as I no want story. But as for this year, pepper no too rest, so I'm chilling till I see cheap Emirates/Lufthansa or BA. cheesy

booking a non refundable international flight without getting a visa first. The embassy will tell you to not make final payment on your ticket before you got the visa. However, when booking online, the airline companies require your mastercard or visacard details, opon providing those details, the airline will charge your card before the embassy makes a decision. In my case, i spend almost 320,000 naira on a klm ticket, another close to 70,000 naira on hotel bookings and many more, but embassy come deny me visa twice, now the worst part is everything i gave my card details to was non refundable. Not to talk of tens of thousands visa fee and such. Now my travel plans are dashed, my money(getting to half a million) gone into thin air, e.t.c the whole system is just a big fraud. Embassy will find any reason to deny you visa, airline company will refuse to refund your money, hotels will vanish with your money and you are left in the cold defrauded, cheated, hopeless. I will never forgive those involved in defrauding me of my hard earned money

This is informative
Re: 5 Mistakes Nigerians Make When Booking A Flight by Nobody: 7:15pm On Jul 08, 2015
The worst is overlooking the abbreviation of one's name, which is done when ticket is been issued at the airline desk.
Let's say one's name is Micheal Ahmed, the issuing clerk may be acting as if he or she is too busy to write out names in full, by writing M Ahmed or Michael A
What is the implication, assuming Michael Ahmed got involved in a plane crash with the airline he is traveling, it will be difficult to prove what M stands for, will it be Mohammed, Mahmud or Mathew or Mecham etc. Or A for Aguocha or Anyanwu or Ajoke
This is one primary reason most bereaved families lost out in insurance payment.
Now you know, insist your be written in fully

Booking early can sometimes be worth it..

If you book a flight during festive periods,Christmas most especially, be sure to pay almost double of the normal flight fare.. Virgin atlantic comes to mind!! With their wack food undecided
