After getting a uk study visa one can really get confused about issues such as how to take money to the uk, choosing an airline that will save you money etc. I've never travelled ouside naija so my first question is; Which is the cheapest airline to the uk? All the veterans PLEASE HELP

@poster

find a travel agent or a travel shop and compare prices from a few or more!

prices varies and are quite competitive nowadays

virgin nigeria is very good and cheap

Take Afriqiyah Airlines from Lagos-via-Tripoli to London. Its the cheapest flight to UK.

Londonbad, congrats. Though i neva travel before, I av a friend who works in a travel agency and she sold ticket for a friend of mine who travelled 3 weeks ago. The guy travelled on Afriqiyah Airline and it was so so cheap

LondonCool:

As you land from the Afriqiyah plane at Gatwick Airport get ready for TOUGH questioning from Immigration Officers when you arrive. They can over-turn your student visa if you are not sharp and eloquent. Passengers arriving from Afriqiyah airlines are rated the least level of Nigerians as they normally produce the highest number of "Oluwole" passport/visa holders into UK

Chei Londoncool you no go kill me. NSE don de mess up you come here de pass time.

Cheapest and best do NOT usually go hand-in-hand. What are your plans when you get to the UK? I am assuming someone will be meeting you there. Be ready to answer all sorts of questions at the airport, since your passport will be blank. Good luck!

londonbad y not try KLM

CALL VIRGIN STUDENT CENTRE ON THIS NOS. 01-8150036. GET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR INTL STUDENT ID. OR VISIT www.STICNIGERIA.NET
BID U DA BEST.

If you know you cannot stand up to scrutiny , take a direct flight.

british airways offer cheap rates for student travellers but they would need yo letter of aaceptance from the varsity and a photocopy of both yo visa page n data page of the int'l passport to do that. it's about 113K .the choice is yours

Congrats

You are only allowed a maximum of £3000 due to the money-laundering act, but I guess if you have to carry more than that, you need to declare it on the landing form that it is for your school fees and upkeep.

@ Busy body

3000 pounds! Thats too much cash o. Was at GTB yesterday and they said they've stopped selling travellers cheques FOR NOW. Learnt that cashing T cheques originating from naija no easy I'm considering the mastercard option. Do u have any idea if naija mastercard works in the UK?
