Hello fellow Nairalanders, happy new year! Pls a friend of mine needs these information; which airline is best to patronize when travelling to India frm Nigeria? Any one with idea how much the ticket cost? Which airline will be affordable for someone low on cash? If anyone also got info on what to expect on arrival pls share... Or general info that someone visiting for the first time would need.
Thanks all... Humbly expecting ur responses cos its needd urgently

I guess that "someone" travelling is you coz you seem abit nervous with your questions.

The cheapest airline I know of from Abj or Lagos to Delhi or mumbai is Ethiopia-n airlines. You can compare rates for all airlines on wakanow.com so as to determine the cheapest.
Secondly the farther your intended date of travel the cheaper the ticket.
General Info?
*carry your yellow fever card
*100 dollars is equivalent to 6000 plus rupees
*have a hotel reservation or the address of where you would be staying handy because immigration would ask.
*pay for a prepaid cab @ d airport to take you to your destination if no one is picking you up instead of the private taxi"s. Trust me, I know why.
*when you visit places like INA market, Select city walk, Sarojini Nagar and any other place our Nija brothers hang out please be careful and choose your friends wisely.
*Hotels in big cities like Delhi and mumbai are not so cheap.
*i know Indian girls are pretty but if you are a guy endeavour not to look at them twice else they would cry you raped them.
*indian food is spicy but not tasty so opt for mongolian/chinese alternatives.
*finally I hope you ain't planning on over staying your visa there coz Indian police are not smiling with illegal immigrants anymore.

Did I mention the Indians are just as corrupt as Some Nigerians? So be sure to watch your money closely, bargain for low prices when buying anything and count your change well.

Safe flight!

cheapest airline is emirates..u can check tripadvisor..emirates flies from lagos and if ur travel date is like a month ahead, u can get a ticket for 1000american. ethiopian fles from abuja but its pricey- about 230k if ur trip is like a month ahead compared emirates 160k. emirates is better cos better food, shorter layover in dubai (layover in adis for ethiopian is almost 7hrs while the 9.20 from lagos on emirates layover is 4hrs)

ethiopian will take you cross continental on the the cramped 737 while emirates will fly you all d way wit the tripple7..believe you me, aircrafts matter especially since you are flying economy and its a damn long distance- about 12,000km.

in india, if you knw to jump metro, take it..its cheaper- 150rupees round trip or atleats to to the city centre- rajiv chowk. thats d centre of delhi...taxi is 3k rupees about 9k so decide.

you hav nothin to fear from nigerians- dont let anybody deceive you. they will talk to u if they see you are Nigerian, but thats just about it, its left to u to decide to befriend them if so wish. if you wish to meet nigerians, go to afrivan clubs- spasso at select city walk saket, quantum in noida, attitude and stay alive in gurgaon.

if you want cheap things that approximate at quality, try the INA market, palika bazaar gafar market.

stay out of trouble and stay away from indian girls- they wont talk to u, much lesss shhagg u
