I use Jumia. I've never really liked Waka now. Buying from airline website is usually expensive. I hope they refund you asap

thesicilian:

I have heard several negative reviews about them also, don't think I'll ever find myself employing their services. I prefer dealing directly with the original airline websites.

thesicilian:

Lol. The black man always thinks himself smarter than the one before him.

halfcurrent:
Wakanow has zero customer support. Either buy your ticket directly from the airline website or use Expedia or Travelstart. Forget Wakanow. They services are horrible. They are only interested in collecting your money. I have had terrible experience with them and vowed never to even browse their website

There are no class actions in Nigeria. Everyone either wants to "leave everything to God" or mind their business, not knowing they're shortchanging themselves in the process.

petemail2all:
Lagos was already in May. I think someone canceled or rescheduled. That's y you can see that April.

petemail2all:

YankeeJJC:
keep refreshing at night from 11pm, u might be lucky to see closer date when someone cancel his/her own

ifyalways:

MadamTee, it's ridiculous cos besides who I quoted I also noticed that phrase is like an anthem here. Lol

No, I'm not lazy. I actually read pages and pages of this thread which most were frankly filled with kumbaya and banters.

Back to the koko, trust me, this thread would have been much helpful if the first page is tagged with a simple guide like :

Get a hospital/doctor of your choice.
Fill your ds 160 form.
Pay your visa fee.
Get ready for interview. Have all your docs ready eg correspondence with doctor, payment reciept, accomodation yada yada
Go for interview. . .

Now, with that in place,everyone would understand when one is referred to reading through the thread for specific queries like personal recommendation, hospital experiences etc.

Just saying o.

As per humble yourself part of your post. Hahahaha. Internet sha.

Apple19:
@all, thanks for this advice. My options are

1- Will just book my hotel in Houston, call doctor to schedule appointment, and then declare Houston as my final destination. but then I can tell them I'll be staying to do some shopping in Dallas before my appointments.
2. Get a scanned correspondence from Dallas and present it at the POE and pray they won't raise an eyebrow.
CUZ.....

I went for ante-natal this morning to complain about the mucoid discharge stuff and hardened stomach (but no PAIN, and the thick mucoid stuff is not stained AT ALL!!) So the Doctor checked me and said am 2cm dilated in a nutshell, that my enemy is having preterm labour.!! hence, sent me to the labour ward for admission straight.
Getting to the labour ward, I rejected the admission and left. Hubby and I entered commission don't just know what to do.
Now since that VE, I've been having some funny stomach ache, and going to toilet like every 10minutes.

Pls mamas, what is my faith?? I know say na the Devil for my village dey work, but I've sent the host of heaven to stop every contractions and premature labour. My ticket is scheduled for next Tuesday, hubby wants to reschedule it to this Friday. But I hope I'll be safe in the flight...pls help O.

On another note, Hubby's visa was approved today, but not in a good mood to type Visa Interview now. PLEASE I NEED HELP O.

teefex:


Pls I have a question about moneygram, I have asked before but nobody replied me. If I do moneygram and send all my money abroad,what proof will I have at POE that I have money with someone abroad or d money is mine. Pls is really urgent travelling 3rd week of January. Thanks

US local flights charge $25 for your first checked in bag, $35 for the 2nd checked in bag and $100 for any additional checked in bag. Also if you fly local, remember that on your retutn leg, you would have to pick up your bags and then commute to the international wing and re-check them in for your international leg since your tickets are seperate.
This can be quite tasking with a baby and all. So, i really won't advise that.

vcole:
It all depends on the following.
1. Did you declare birth purposes at visa interview or did you send a letter of intent?
2. Where is your final destination?
3. Ticket fares.

Generally people say JFK POE is easier but other folks have had proper scrutiny there as well with secondary inspection and delays.
Houston POE is said to be tough, Atl also somewhere in the middle of these 2. However ppl have passed through without so much hassle, others have had hassle, others have been turned back.

Bottom line, if you have all your necessary documentation, go for the shortest duration. 12 hr flight 9ja to houston or atl. Unless you wanna fly arik, 12 hr flight to jfk. (Lol!)
You may have to go for secondary inspection but as long as you have all the right documentation and enough funds, you'll eventually gt through.

Bisoye82:


AirFrance do not insist on fit to fly.I just checked their website.ask your agent to use AF and route your itinerary through JFK as POE(it's possible ie Lagos -Paris-Jfk-etc),but it's one checked bag @10kg for infant.
Have not use United before but read here that infant is 2 checked bags at 23kg each.

LadyGuinivere:

I also modified! Did u say 'just 1k cheaper'? 1k usd or ngn biko?!

LadyGuinivere:

U yourself will have to weigh. Me for egs I like ...scratch that . I love cheaper things so I'll likely weigh toward that.
Then.

biollar1:

On patient referral, I was shocked!

bigfido:


hi,
this is a classic case of what i was trying to explain to you. some come off cheaper at first, but when you research further, you start to hear funny stories. i am not slighted about your response even thou i perceived it as quite defensive. I understand the burden involved too. just try to research well before making your decision about the hospital to use. Even thou i have been here for sometime and i have gathered much info, i still come back to look for something new so as not to be caught off guard. I pray for strength for you. pele. have a lovely day ahead. this website can also be a guide for you as it has a lot of hospitals and there average prices therein. http://hcahealthcare.com/pricing-financing/

good luck ma

Hello dear. Pls can you email me Dr F contact. Still trying to hook up with a doctor Thanks.

bigfido:


There are cheaper ones but each of the hospitals has peculiar issues that has been discussed in the previous threads. I can tell you Houston Northwest is cheaper but when you get slammed with a paediatrician bill that is ridiculous, have I done you any good? As it is as well, I can't list the peculiarities of each hospital to you. Your research therefore goes beyond name of hospitals. When you strive to thoroughly "glance through" you will find more useful information. That's my two cents. Happy hunting

Able15:


Not sure bentaub bills are straight forward. My good friend had a terrible experience with them late 2013.
Do make sure you confirm their rates and agree with them first. To avoid stories that touch.

vcole:
Hey, I know hormones and stress may be kicking in but I think you should chill out though seeing as you don't wanna ward off other helpful folks. Your comments on Bigfido's posts are coming off as "rude-ish"
My 2 cents though. No offence.

Bisoye82:

You are right.when I saw her response I just walked away. no hard feelings
