Some good travelers in d house, pls how many planes wld one board from Nigeria to Canada? And possibly d routes with diff Flights!

Am asking because my niece wil soon be traveln to Canada and wants dis info, jst incase, so dat she doesnt get missing on d way as some flight does to dem passengers.

wat airline does she wanna go with? KLM is da best cuz it is transit visa free if she is coming with a Nigerian Passport

Yes shes coming 4rm 9ja, where is d stop over on d transit visa stuff, is ther no direct flight?
Thank u stepper

Let her simply go to a travel agency in Naija, they will give her a ticket and inform her where and where she will be transiting her flight would not be more than 2flights. Airlines that will take her are: BA, Airfrance, KLM shikena.

There is no direct flight from Nigeria to US. the best option for her is KLM, From Naija to Netherlands and after 5-8 hrs, she will be transit to Canada, the gate where she will be staying to wait etc will be on her ticket and she can alwayz ask questions? How old is she? I was 17 wen I traveled on my own so she can do it, its very straight foward,

let her go with Airfrance, Lufthansa and delta airline she will only have a stopover in the airline origin and in some few hours she will get connected. these are the hours she will stay in each origin, check below

Airfrance 4 hours in Paris
Lufthansa 4hours 10min in Frankfurt
Delta airline 7hours in Atlanta
KLM 8hour 25min in amstardam

Debie_101, hotstepper & Tha_dude, much thanks 4 ya'll's contribution, meanwhile i am forwarding all this info to her so she cld make a vivid choice of hers. @hotstepp, she's 21 and should be on her way by early April or late. Any more info et' contributions would be appreciated.

Since her waiting period and location wld be on her ticket, what times do fall to dis? Cld she be waiting during the nite hours as well, are there provisions 4 a guide while on their way, this and some more.
Thanks

she will land very Early in the morning and connect that same morning but on Delta airline it will be in the nite


Note: if she want to get her ticket you can give her my office address i can get her ticket for her

ok, she should be fine. all the information is very clearly written and she can alwayz ask questions. plz, I alwayz advise people to use KLM wen traveling esp. for the 1st time. The waiting time might be long but it is worth it. However, if she doesnt want to use it for one reason or another, she should make sure she goes with another airline that is visa free for Nigerians holding Nigerian passport if not, she has to go get a transit visa for that particular counry b4 she can embark on her journey. What part of Canada is she coming to?

Whaoo!! Debie, whats yo position on this, are u an agent or u jst personaly want to assit?? In dat case send me yo bio data and yo location lets c if this works out, meanwhile i'll like to go by what hotsteper has said using KLM, i hope she shld be fine.

@htsteper, She'l be comin to stay with me in Vancouver, how abt that?

@htsteper, She'l be comin to stay with me in Vancouver, how abt that?

oh k, she will be fine. it is be easier than you think. if da fear cant leave her, den da best option is to hand her over to the airline people and they will take care of her until she gets to Canada. This is wat is normally done for younger kids and older people.

Ok. Thanks.

cheapest fare to Vancouver on KLM is 320,000 on economy class and all other prices are economy class too, that what the airline is selling to Canada and for me i am a client service officer working for a travel agent company if you want to contact me get me on the address below and we be looking forward to your patronage.

@ brein

It doesn't even have to be KLM. She can use British Airways as well, depending on where in Canada she is flying to.

You can transit through Heathrow, and as long as you don't leave the airport, you won't need a transit visa.

If she is going to Vancouver, then British Airways is definitely the best bet. Fly into Heathrow and then fly to Vancouver from there. The flight is direct and I've personally used it on a number of occasions.

Cheapest to Vancouver is 320,000?? is that a return ticket??

Please check properly for yourself brein. I would advise British Airways from personal experience to Vancouver.

@debie_ Gosh!!! N320,000? ? Shld dat be a return ticket or? That amount is absurd!
@debosky, the choice is my niece to make, am only bin supportive so she doesnt get victimised or bored. Thanks and i'l make my research.

it gana be good if you make a reseach and am very sure i never give you a rong fare and mind you all fare give it on a return ticket, only if you want a oneway ticket, note that on british airway while coming from vancouver there is no connecting flight back to nigeria she will have to sleep over the nextday to connect to a flight coming to nigeria, plaese try to comfirm that only if she want a one way ticket

pls wat will be the best airline to use to get to ontario? and does anyone know anything about Emirates?

aydracula:

Where in Ontario are you going. Is it Toronto? Anyway KLM fly to Toronto and it is very good. A friend of mine travel to Toronto with Emirate and emirate's price is the cheapest. Emirate is also good from what I heard. But guys believe that it is better to fly into canada thru Europe. I hope this help

Not necessarily. Emirates fly direct to Toronto from Dubai; However, it's a longer trip from Lagos since they have to go thru Dubai.

KLM, AirFrance, British Airways, Lufthansa all of them are good. Take your pick. I prefer flying BA but would also fly Emirates business class to Toronto cos of the experience.

BA (Lagos to Vancouver) no be am on the return leg. Because of the change in departure from Vancouver, you have to overnight in London. Unless you have something doing in London, it's pretty much a waste of time. And I'm not suprised at the N320k. I know someone who paid N400k in December for an economy seat from Lagos to Vancouver; the dollar/naira wahala is definitely affecting everything.

Uhmm!

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Ticket 320k!!!

AIYE MI OOOOOOOOO!!!

This is too much!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Delta bro, to stay overnight in London, doesn't one need a Transit Visa?
The flights to Canada Via British Airways are out of sync if one is coming from Nigeria. I still prefer flying with BA because of their 3 X 23 KG Checked baggage limit.
It's the highest standard baggage limit, good for bringing expensive food ingredients for mumsy.

Josboy

It's the highest standard baggage limit

pls tell me more.

3 checked luggage @ 23 KG
as opposed to other airlines which offer 2 @ 23 KG

Don't know how much stuff your sister intends on bringing, but this could be useful.

I went with BA on myay 2 naija in 08, it was 2 luggages and 23 KG just like KLM

Oh, ok.

Hi, I'll be travelling to canada next month. Pls help wit current info on preffrred airlines and current prices. Final destination is Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
Thanks
