Wow! Similar thing happened to me. I then blamed myself for alerting them. Only to find that it was someone I know who sent me sum suprise funds. Was lucky I could fall back to lloyds while they carried out their investigation even after I told dem I now know the sender. Lol.
Lucky you wink wink

Find out from your school when they'll have breaks (which can can take advantage of to travel to Niaja) before you buy your ticket
Even at that, you can always extend your return ticket's initial date for a minimal fee if the selected date doesn't suit you again
Just contact your airline before the due date and they'll tell you how to go about it

Atm withdrawal attracts a charge of about N500.00 per transaction.

N460, i think.

I stated about N500.00, because that is generally the figure skye bank deducts from my MasterCard. (500 - 460 =40) Fair margin of error, also considering forex rates.

I wasn't objecting, just giving the correct value.
There is no forex rates on that charge.

You're deducted the equivalent value of that amount, in relation to the current forex rate, and then you're charged an extra 460

Bros flying Iberia is like flying Molue oo, forget its a Spanish airline. My brother had a horrible experience with them just in May this year, I'll suggest you take Air Maroc since its very cheap so you wouldn't be too disappointed with average service.
