Compliment of the season to everyone, please my husband applied for UK visiting visa and did biometric since 9th November and till now we haven't gotten any message. I read here about mailing and calling them. Although he paid an agent to help him with the process which is why I want to ask if calling or mailing them is the right thing to do. And also has anyone gotten any positive respond from calling or mailing? Thanks

When it is 1 or 2days to your flight, use your reservation number to "manage booking" on the airline's website. It will tell you if online check-in is opened. I know British Airways opens 24hrs and Air france 30hrs to flight.

Once it is, you can choose your seat as well as provide your Advance Passenger Information(passport number , name, etc)
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by mojohnny(m): 7:38pm On Dec 22, 2020
Have you tried tracking it using the TLS app from the Playstore? That should be your first port of call.

BA allows change of date or cancellation for a voucher. However, I believe you should not be worried about POE. I have someone, on visitor visa, coming in tomorrow (23rd) with BA through Heathrow. Ask me tomorrow evening for update on their experience. Just make sure you complete your Passenger Locator Form
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Nnemomatina: 10:47pm On Dec 22, 2020

Your flight won't be cancelled cos of tier 4, unless the UK Govt bans flights or your airline has other logistics issues. If you are using Heathrow, that airport is already tier 4 and flights can't be rerouted to other airports. Also, travelling in tier 4 for work is an exception from the tier 4 restrictions.

U guys better call Turkish Airlines, they are as dodgy as hell! BA from ABJ to Heathrow is £620 return, cheaper

Good day everyone. Compliments of the season.

Has anyone successfully paid for the Uk visa fee using paga verve?

Secondly, when you use your Naira master/Visa card are the fees deducted/debited at black market rate?

BA a times has a category on economy that allows only Cabin bag and one personal item.

A lot of airlines offer Cabin bag only tickets on international routes.

The tickets are considerably cheaper

lol � your response is hilarious tho , but it's the truth. I almost fell victim last year seeing a cheap flight only to find out I'm only entitled to hand luggage.

I am very conversant with BA classes. BA Economy has 3 levels: Basic Economy with only hand luggage entitlement, Standard Economy with a hand luggage, a laptop bag and 2 checked in luggage, then Premium Economy which is Standard Economy plus more benefits.
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by mojohnny(m): 12:03pm On Dec 23, 2020
A friend used this 3 weeks ago.
The rates were better because she was charged about 51k for the 130 US dollars. 2 weeks before that, I used a Wema Bank card and I was charged about 58k.
So its definitely a much cheaper option if you ask me.and definitely better than black market rates

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Nnemomatina: 1:52pm On Dec 23, 2020
Please oo, I'm just thinking too much, has anyone heard if Turkish is canceling flights already or has anyone's flight been canceled?

From Lagos to UK, just to transit in Turkey..

The situation of the country is really not pleasant... Covid palava

Turkish is not in the travel corridor to the Uk, I think you should ring them to find out or Email them to be sure. They are terrible with information!
