Hello everyone,
How's the weekend going?
As my Alaska journey gets closer fear dey catch me lol.
Anyhoo, please I am trying to book emirates online:
1) I noticed the only payment option online is to use your card. Is there a bank you can pay in like some other airlines do? My card doesn't work online and they don't accept third party cards so I can't use anyone else's card.
2) I intend to travel at 35weeks, I saw an epistle and a form on emirates website talking about "traveling as a preggie" and fit to fly (their fit to fly seems a bit more detailed than other airlines). Please I hope they won't give me wahala on the day of my trip. Please those who flew emirates while pregnant can you advice me? Thanks

Hello House, congrats to all the new mothers, May God bless your LOs! Pls I need advice from this forum , I have a layover of 7hrs in Dubai and Emirates is only providing accommodation (Dubai Connect) for the inbound flight. I am thinking of getting a hotel accommodation myself as I will be traveling with my 3 kids and a nanny (hubby joinning us later) . Has anyone done this before? tried searching but couldn't find anything. Is there any hotel inside the Dubai airport that I can book? And lastly will I need transit visa for the few hours.
Septemember moms going to Houston can we connect I will be leaving in August! Have a beautiful weekend all!!!

Hello dear,

1) to answer question one select the pay later option then go to their office and make your payment. Alternatively you can go to the bank. Note that there's a window of time for this once you book on hold. I cannot remember how long the time is right now.

2) just print out the fit to fly form and give your doctor to follow the same format. You shouldn't have any issues.

Kemo88:

Thank you for your advice.
You see here's the thing. I'm not seeing any pay later option on the website. All I'm seeing is credit/ debit card. I'm confused
Also, I have printed the form, so are you saying once my doctor fills the form no need for the letter again? Or should I just get both?

chloe7:
emirates has citibank and firstbank and one other bank, you can either book on hold and pay at their office in v.i that church gate towers, or pay at the bank, use the booking on hold option

Are you using ur fone 2 mke this booking? I wud advised u try it with ur tablet or laptop. Another alternative is to change it to desktop site incase if it is on the mobile site setting incase u r using ur fone.

MetroTee:


Have you decided on the state where you'd like to have your baby? If so, try to use the search box to get information on doctors using your chosen hospital. Alternatively, you can actually use the link on the first page of the thread to find a hospital and doctor

Search 'budget sheet' for a sample of budget breakdown or Phema's posts.

You can adapt the letter I used below. Although I had already called to confirm they'll take me on but just sent this email to create correspondence:

You can do these while waiting for other responses.
Good morning,

My name is **** from Lagos, Nigeria. I called your office yesterday to inquire about Dr ****** taking me on as a patient as I intend to come to the US to have my baby due February 2016. I am currently ** weeks pregnant and was told by the lady I spoke with to send my medical records across first.

I have informed my hospital here and they will be sending all records directly to this email address. Kindly look out for it please.

I'll be a self pay patient and will be very pleased if you can take me on.

I look forward to hearing back from you.


Thank you so much, we have made arrangement with whmc. Can you advice the exchange rate to use on my budget sheet. Thanks

Lmao but will one person actually have time to open three accounts and be quoting herself too in posts, anyway this is a faceless forum and absolutely anything is possible sha

candyce:

1.The three of them opened an account this April.
2. They all live in Abuja.
3. Due for delivery in July, all houston bound.
What a coincidence

Kemo88:

Thanks but there's no option online of booking on hold.... How do I do this?

chloe7:
booking on hold option comes up at the last page I guess, let me just try a dummy booking on my phone to confirm that because I have booked an emirates flight on hold before and paid in their office

LadyGuinivere:
I see a new trend. A lotta new posters introduce thmselves. Tell us they have been reading...Then ask for affordaable hospitals. Some want it emailed to them sef.
Please that is not how this thread works. You the pregnant mama, the one with a vested interest are the one that does the heavy lifting. Luckily for you, it has been made easier. All you have to do is read. People have posted the hospitals they used. That was their idea of affordable. Read. Pick. Choose. You can now narrow down your options and ask the older moms their experiences.
People here are pregnant, some have jobs, some are using bow and arrow to hook pta and doing midnight for cheap flight. Is it fair for them to do your own research for u too?

Kemo88:

Yeah I'm not seeing it on there. Thanks I await your findings

chloe7:
I just did a dummy booking see what I saw on the website when I proceeded I saw that I could pay on interswitch only, I think your card can go on quickteller for that amount, try it again

MadameU:
A piece of advice for those trying to book Emirates online and pay in a bank; know that it's very possible, just pick the pay by card option, when you get to the next phase look out for the pay by interswitch, click that go to the next and tick the pay in the bank option and move on ...if you tick that it won't charge your card, but if you do not then you would be debited. Should anyone have problems please PM. Or post your dates n I could do a trial booking for you. I no be agent o but it's funny how I book flights everyother week just to see if rates will increase or decrease .

chloe7:
if that's where you are going through I pray you find favour, some people she don pass there and it was a breeze, pray you fall into that category and be armed with every document you think will be helpful to you

swappylove:
