He will have to fly using Turkish Airlines. Turkish Airlines is part of the STAR ALLIANCE network. They have an interline agreement with Copa Airlines which is a Panamanian Airline that flies to several countries in Central and South America. Guyana is located in South America.

What is an interline agreement? It is a voluntary commercial agreement between individual airlines to handle passengers traveling on itineraries that require multiple flights on multiple airlines.

So, tell your friend to go to the Turkish Airlines office located at Plot 1061 Leadway House, 1ST Floor, Herbert Macaulay Way, Abuja . Tell him to tell Turkish Airlines that they should book his ticket in such a way that he will fly from Lagos or Abuja to Istanbul Turkey using Turkish Airlines.

Then change flights in Istanbul Turkey to another Turkish Airline flight going to Panama. From Panama he will catch Copa Airlines which will take him directly to Guyana.

Once he checks in his luggage, he will get his luggage at his final destination which is Guyana. He does not need to pick up his luggage in Istanbul and Panama and check it back in. Also, he will not be charged multiple times for his airline ticket. He will be charged a one time round trip airline ticket despite the fact that he will need to transit through 2 different airports located in 2 different countries.

Also, he does NOT need a transit visa for Turkey as long as he does not intend on exiting the airport while on transit. He also does NOT need a transit visa for Panama as long as he is not exiting the airport and his transit wait time within the airport is within 12 hours. So, as long as he does not have to wait longer than 12 hours in the airport in Panama for his flight connection to Guyana, he will be fine.

So, let me show you how the itinerary will approximately look like using the actual airport codes in bracket. Let's assume his city of departure in Nigeria is Abuja. It will look like this:

Abuja (ABV) to Istanbul (IST) to Panama (PTY) to Guyana (GEO)

Let me give you the name of the airports:

ABV : Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja

IST : Istanbul Airport (Turkey)

PTY : Tocumen International Airport (Panama)

GEO : Cheddi Jagan International Airport (Guyana)

I just want to add that I am neither a travel agent nor do I work for Turkish or Copa Airlines. I was once in your friend's shoes. I needed to travel to that region of the world directly from Nigeria and found myself wondering on how to get there since acquiring a transit visa for a 1st world country from Nigeria can be so difficult. God showed me the way after I unsuccessfully tried to figure it out on my own and I was able to travel and get to my destination successfully. Hence, my decision to assist you and everyone else reading this thread with this travel information.

Anyone traveling to South and Central America or to Jamaica from Nigeria is advised to use this route especially if you are traveling with a Nigerian passport and you don't have a transit visa for the UK, USA and the likes.

Safe travels!

Now seems like a great time to head to Guyana. The oil industry is booming and their population is tiny. Engineers might have a job waiting on them.

Go get a good job, cozy Guyanese house, and a Guyanese baddie.

Make sure you go with enough money that can sustain you for few months because this place looks like Nigeria to me. They mostly depends on family members who live abroad like US and Canada.

I don’t think this is a place to look for job.

Note: I am not here to discourage anyone. I based my comments on what I saw when I traveled there with Guyanese friends.

Also, I was only there for 2 weeks
