Anybody knows how easy it is and the cost to get to Sunderland from London?

Oloshi83:
Unfortunately, this is not 100% correct. If it was true, agents wouldn’t exist.

Airlines typically offer agents bulk seats at discounted prices not available on their websites because they have the reach and can often attract the numbers required. These discounted tickets would normally have some sort of restrictions and it is a way for them to push sales especially when they’re struggling to put bums on seats.

As an individual, you can’t buy more than say <365 tickets a year assuming you travel every day of the year. Which is pretty much impossible. An agent can sell that in a matter of hours/days hence the exclusive deals they get. It’s pretty standard and makes business sense.

Sometimes it is because the airlines give discounted tickets to agents and is a standard practice worldwide.

james1004:
Stop arguing. You’re wrong on this.

JustCare:
Stop arguing baba, I have pals that offer such services.

rs172:
Oooh ok, I understand it now

Busayomiie:
@Justwise and other gurus, I just got to the UK on Sunday, please how long will it take to get my NI? Also how long does it take home office to send my BRP to the school?
Thanks guys.

Justwise your help is needed

What I was saying is that travel agents CAN indeed obtain prices lower than what is available on the airline website, but that in my experience it is usually Emirates and co that provide discounted tickets through the travel agents, while is is generally not possible to get lower fares than those displayed on airline websites through agents for the European airlines such as KLM, Lufthansa and Air France.

I buy all my tickets myself through airline websites.

My cousin and a good friend's wife are travel agents.

Zeecos:
Sometimes they are cheaper. See what I found on skyscanner.

mrpudikin:
No sir this is not entirely true.
Agencies(especially licensed agents) usually are given tickets directly by the airline at a lower price the customer would get himself and in order to gain customers the agents may sell sometimes at lower price than the airline itself. For example those that got BA tickets here at a low price than usual.
And yes its true most of what we leave to agents we can do ourselves. But not everyone believes that and thats how it is.

Hope you get what im tryin to say please

Cyberknight:
We would have to define "ticket price" first for the purposes of this discussion.
The ticket price you can get on an airline's website and the price they give you if you buy in person at their offices can and usually vary.
However, travel agents can get you prices lower than either of those two.
In my experience, its usually easier to get such lower fares if using airlines like Emirates, Turkish Airlines, Qatar Airways, etc. I find the European airlines less friendly to giving such discounts, so I usually buy tickets directly from their websites as I prefer flying direct to Europe and transiting there instead of doing Emirates long waka.

naledis:
This is not entirely true. Most of the times I have purchased my travel tickets it has been through licensed agents like Wakanow (this is not a sponsored ad)

I purchased my BA ticket for N214,000 which was a student fare I accessed through same agency mentioned above.

Should people be careful when using their services? Yes.

However your statement above is not entirely true sir

Southhost:
Yes they do , they sell way below

Hoverboy27:
but it’s not everyone that can afford the fare on the airlines website.

This thread is about to die off. People will prefer to converse on the whatsapp group than here and posterity will forget this thread soon. If our predecessors had created a whatsapp group, i doubt we would have had access to the information we already do.

Justwise, kindly see to this. Thanks

RalphJean:
E be like say you Na like those kind students for my secondary school during exams.
Dem go collect question paper, look all the questions, then set their own question by themselves and answer the questions by themselves.
The question was not about Labour and Labor, the root of the question was about British English.
There is nothing like ‘Labor‘ in British English.

RalphJean:
Justwise, biko. Look at the context.




It wasn’t about English, it was about British English.

RalphJean:
WRONG!

There is nothing like Labor in BrE

dustydee:
Do we? Start from nairaland and you will understand why they sometimes request English language certificate from Nigerians.
Our English has no standard, for example Nigerians use boot and trunk interchangeably, labour spelt as labor etc.

noblealuu:
I'll do this. Ain't they the ones that colonised us? We speak British English mehnnnn.

Xeeex:
Education is free if you learn the language

Justwise please unban me

Ayotunde71:
Dear all,

I read most of the posts on the previous pages and i must say they have been really helpful. Thank you to everyone that has been taking time to share their experience(s) on this platform.

I am preparing to apply for spouse visa to join my husband in the UK as soon as possible. He holds an ILR, he was previously married and divorced before we got married a month ago (He has the decree absolute).

As part of the accommodation requirement, he currently lives with a friend in a single room self contain rented by the friend (the friends name appears on the tenancy agreement) but their name both appears on the internet payment document (utility bill). He has been planning to get an apartment for us as soon as my visa is approved. Do you think we could use his current address for the application and write a letter stating we would get a bigger apartment for us as soon as i get my visa?
What other advice can you give based on your experience?

Also, for the financial requirements, he meets the requirements of £18,600 annually. Do you think he has to still show some more money he has currently in his account? if yes, do you have a rough idea of how much please?

Furthermore, do i have to show any financial document that belongs to me since he is my sponsor?

Finally, i read in some of the previous posts about posting documents to Sheffield, this remains unclear as some were saying it is needed while other said it is an old rule. Can someone please explain the current situation better?


Thanks in anticipation of your responses.

bucade11:
Good day house! My sister applied for her student visa and she was granted on Wednesday, she went to pick her passport on Friday. The problem here is that, I noticed one thing on her visa, the passport number written on her visa is different from her passport number. What can we do‼️ Please help‼️
