Hi welcome to NL Kekere. Ae you a Nigerian?

Kekere you are so welcome to NL.

Every time i try to book a flight i get a message that there is a travel advisory. No can do!

Thanks for the welcome, Zulu!

I'm sure you gone get a lot of travel advisories from the State Dept, that don't mean you can't travel to Nigeria. I'm sure if you check with a traveling agent you can get you a ticket.

I don't plan to give up. I still have some time before June!

Check out asap ticket service, the have pretty good deals to Nigeria right about now.

Thanks for the tip. Will check it out.

Hi every one, I am back.

Found this on ASAP!

ASAP Ticket Fraud

I saw an Ad by ASAP ticket advertising low aifaire to any part of Africa and Europe.I called cthem on 02/17/06 to put in a reservation for a flight for 04/29/06 the agent asked for payment of $1346.92 for the fligh to Lagos,Nigeria which I made on my ATM credit card immediatelly.Unfortunately for me on Sunday 02/19/06 I got a message that my mother that I was going to visit died,I tried to Call ASAP Ticket on that Sunday and the following Monday but they were closed.I was able to get to them on Tuesday 02/19/06 to cancell my reservation. Immediately they hear cancell the agent was rude,unproffesional and told me that I will need A death certificate for the airline British Airways to cancell evethough my reservation has not been ticketed as the time,neither have I received a flight itinerary.Iwas able to get the death certificate sent to me by my family,ASAP ticket agent told me to fax it to them which I did.Iwas shocked to hear from the agent later that the ticket is non refundable,nothing like the refund policy was mention to me and the story now changed from needing a death certificate to no refund period.I contacted the airline British Airways and they told me they have nothing to do about that and that the ticketing agent never contacted them.I sent ASAP Ticket an email which they refuse to reply.Please help what can i do to get my money back from this Scaming ticket agent.You can rech me at amb2amby @yahoo.com

I'm sorry to hear about your mom, I can only imagine what you went through. Most low fare tickets are non-refundable I guess that price you pay when you go cheap.

That was not me!!

I found that article when I Googled ASAP. I don't give up my money unless I do background checks. i couldn't help but feel sorry for that poor individual.

Thank God it was not you then. You doing the right thing by getting more information before paying on a ticket, Like I said previously always remember that most of the GOOD deal on tickets are non- refundable

Dear welcome to nairaland and Nigeria as well whenever you finally get the opportunity to travel, Naija is the BEST, no doubt about that

Hello , you are welcome to nairaland.

welcome

as a jamaican where did you get: kekere ekun?

It's the rough translation of my Jamaican name given to me by a very special Nigerian princess.

Looks like things may work out after all. i have a friend in D.C. who has offered to help. I am so-oooo-oo happy!
