Thanks, i will give that a shot though i dont think it has to do with the limit but the airline site itself. They probably dont accept cards from naija

chloe7:

Call the customer service they'll redirect to card services to ask what's up

I have used access debit card to purchase a ticket of $124 on American airline website while I was in the US. Maybe it's rejecting cos you re in Nigeria.

How is the card supposed to determine your location? A naija card is a naija card, and how long ago was this?

wowi didnt know this thanks for the info

From JFK, you can take a bus to La Guardia airport NY, There is direct to Houston from La Guardia. Its like a local wing of JFK.

Even when we could still use our cards abroad it doesnt work they always prefare cards with oyibo land billing addresses

Please has anyone bought American Airlines ticket using our naija card before. I just tried but no luck......I need help abeg, it's urgent. My booking expires in a few hours

Exactly what I was going to write, the billing address matters a lot, once it's a naija card the billing address is a naija billing address, the best alternative now is PayPal

but if you have a forex account with any of the foreign banks in Nigeria try them e.g standard chartered and stanbic ibtc try using them

Not the card but the website, some websites won't let you make a purchase if the computer IP address is in Nigeria no matter what card you use.

@chloe7 @Hopesprings @chibertha @TeeteeK...I appreciate all responses. so I sent my reservation to my friend in US with my access bank card details and still no luck. Immediately she selected nigeria as the billing address, it gave an error that the search should be done in country of residence. Unfortunately naija is not on the list for that when trying to search....serious headache.
Who has another idea on how to book local flight again abeg, help a sis.

What's your itinerary?

I just tried using cheapflights.com.ng and realized they charge in Naira for local flights within the US.

Got a one way ticket from JFK to Washington for as low at N30k (One way).

This might work for you and every others here... All the best!

For those traveling soon that got deals to JFK or IAD... 'cheapflights.com.ng' has got great deals for local flights in the US and they bill in Naira.

I bumped into it just now while trying to book my flight from Washington to Atlanta. Got a deal for N18k.

In my bid to keep giving back, this is a big breather for everyone here...

All the best guys!

Ethiopian Airline has got a great deal to NewYork for N299k, I think about mid January... you can jump on this and get a local flight to your final destination.

Semilore12 can you tell your friend in the US to pay for it for you then you give the person th naira equivalent.

Oh... I meant for local flights.

You can try flying to JFK or IAD first with either Qatar (N369k) or Egypt air (Sorry, not Ethiopian) for N299k

You can get a flight from IAD to IAH for N37k and from JFK to IAH for N77k

Hope this helps.

It's crazy out there so you gotta look for the most affordable way and bear the stress that comes with it. Except of course, you can comfortably afford the faster routes.

Cheapest so far for you is N540k with Emirates...
