Please has anyone gone inside Emirates office in V.I to pay for a ticket using a credit card? Holding an American credit card, I was turned away. The reservation was priced in Dollars. The agent said they have never accepted cards. But 3 private travel agents claim they should have accepted it.
Will the airport accept my credit card to pay for the ticket?

   But if you have credit card, why don't you log on to their website and have the ticket booked by yourself, I don't have business with travel agents, i book every of my trip myself (with my credit card) and i find best offers; or is there something i'm missing?

yes. Sad to say if you are flying out of nigeria with emirates, you cannot use credit card online. They say due to fraudsters. We have given ourselves a bad name when it comes to using credit card to purchase emirates tickets. I'm just pointing out the conflicting info i am getting. I need to be able to use my credit card to pay for my booking
.

Why not try klm? I think they still accept c.c for 9jerians

Well, if dey dnt accpet it at dia office
then look for anoda airline or rather
try klm n do it urself.

vicjustice said u can log on and pay thru dia website.
bt check if it is secured

Oh, sad news, Here's an update: There is a BAN on the use of all versions of credit or debit card issued in Nigeria as well as the use of any foreign credit card to purchase any outbound reservation from Nigeria, therefore, you can only use your credit card to purchase tickets of which the origin must be from outside Nigerian: For example, you can use your UK credit card to buy a return ticket from London to Lagos, but not from Lagos to London, and you can not use a Nigerian credit card to buy ticket for any route or destination whatsoever. this is the stance of Skyteam (which is an association of all major airliner in the world).

Is this ban still in effect? I'm trying to pay for excess luggage an none of my mastcard or visa are going through.

Emirates Airlines is one of the best airlines in the world
