If going with arikair, get a return ticket or don't bother.

Other airlines may overlook it but sometimes first timers or ppl r usually asked for their return tickets at the point of entry and if you cannot produce it, den u'll return to Naija free of charge immediately, if u see what I mean.

Just for curiosity sake, pls why would u wanna buy a one-way ticket when it's as expensive as, if not more than, buying a return ticket?
You can just get a return ticket for return in, say, 1 year time so that by the next year, of u wanna travel, u use it or if you'll rather change the date to a later date, you pay change-of-date fee and use it.

Olola15: I just got my visa and am planning to come into Uk on Monday.Somebody mentioned to me that i have to get a return ticket. How thru is this as my plan is to get a one way ticket.

ocheejemb:

Not necessarily true, Emirates and Qatar have really cheap one way tickets if you don't mind the long haul flight, meanwhile BA and KLM will nearly cut your throat with thier return prices, which you are almost guaranteed to keep on changing. Also, if you do get a return, make sure its one that can be cahanged. Use wakanow or something to check the prices.

you have to make sure you are buying a ticket that can be changed, as not all return tickets can be.

Olola15: I realy appreciate alll your contributions on this topic.

Sequel to all your contributions, I am now trying to book a return ticket scheduled to leave Nigeria on the 14th of August and return on June 30th 2015, buh its really spooking me.

I will need all your help. I dont mind any flight nor any number/hours of stopover. Am on a tight budget, just any flight that will take me from Lagos to Heathrow in one piece.

Any suggestions?

adaobi123: Can anyone recommend a good laptop for university, I just wanna be using it for coursework, watching tv shows and with a decent battery life.

None of those £1000+ ones, my money ain't growing on trees yet.

justwise:

Whats your budget?

adaobi123:

Under £600

adaobi123:
Whats your budget like ?
You can try airlines like turkish airlines, air italia, klm, lufthansa, air moroc, Egypt air, Emirates

justwise:

Then you got no prob getting a good laptop for course work, 15.00 inch for tv or movie and with loads of storage space.

Log in to Argos and see range of good laptops within your spec for less than £500.

frostmate: You should be able to get laptaps under 600 from curries/pc world Argos. Also check Dell's UK website, you can get units under 600 that will suit your needs.

You might want to go for one of Acer Aspire models - they have 8 hours' battery life. They are quite cheap as well, check on pcworld

adaobi123:

Apart from price, what other factors are in your thinking?
I take it you are going to use your laptop for your uni duration so personally I'd recommend an Intel 4th generation i5 processor laptop because new software always comes out and needs recent tech to function properly. So 'future proof' your gadgets as much as your wallet can afford it
That been said, factor in hard disk space size, memory, decent battery life , screen size etc.
2 tips (1) Never buy a laptop based on the name. look at the specs (or get someone who understands it to explain to you
(2) Never buy based on price without understanding the specs lest you get another expensive (or cheap) shiny toy.
Cheers!

I did a quick check on the PC World website and the above posted by LabourParty seems to be the best that fits Ada's 600 quid max budget range
It has a i5 4th gen 4200M processor which is better that the i5 4th gen 4200U many laptops at that price range offer though it ships with the slower 5400rpm hard drives
But its 1TB size along with 8GB ram should get her through uni though

worry359:

But all that ONLY MATTERS if you want to play the latest games of edit huge video files!!!!
Or you want to show off to your nerd friends.

If she just wants to do word processing and internet then a cheaper / older model will be fine.
Shee does not need the latest generation processer, the older ones will not be outdated with the software that she wants to run.
The money would be better spent getting a computer bundled with Microsoft office, which will be perfect for a student.
