Are you serious? I have been holding on to the passport with my maiden name for 5 yrs now simply because I cant imagine myself booking ticket, risking my life, wasting my money to change the surname on my passport when it is not like the name is biting me on the passport where it is.

That would be a welcome development o cos honestly, I have vowed that if they don't decentralize this thing na so I go dey renew passport each time it expires or I run out of pages.
. I did mine about 3 weeks ago and I had to go to abuja. Did mine majorly because I don't want to have to start doing plenty documentation if I want to travel alone with my children

Good people, please help a sister out if you have answers. I booked my flight a while ago with my maiden name but recently did a name change to my married name so have a new passport with a new number and a different surname. Will there be any trouble flying to the US? Thanks!
you need to contact the airline and find out cos you know it's an e passport and the old one would have been cancelled by immigration. Pls contact the airline and don't wait till d day you travel to avoid stories that touch

Snoozecube is just a room with a bed ( would not want to call it a hotel grin). U are charged by the hour for staying while waiting for your connecting flight. It's right inside the airport and u do not need to go through security or immigration before getting there. It's some walk though, so a wheelchair is advisable. If you are given one, the wheelchair person ( dunno what they are called pls) will come pick you close to your boarding time to the gate for boarding.
The leg room for the regular seats is okay. Was unable to get a bassinet seat on the Dubai newyork leg and the regular seat was just fine. Remember to choose an isle seat oooo!
Cheers !
. Thanks. Like how much per hour pls so I can plan towards it

@ sisiolu Tnks a lot for the message. The first time we were refused was last year December 23rd. Agent told us to tell them we have other means of income if dey ask us. And truly the VO asked and we both answered yes that we have a bakery and block industry according to wat d agent told us.immediately we said that she requested for our statement of acc and we didn't go wit it cuz d agent said there is no need for that.we told her we didn'tSecond time was February dis year after asking where we are going, where hubby and I is working,how much we both was how 1.2million(me, hubby and our 2 kids) she looked at sumtn beside her as if dey paste sumtn on d wall and said sorry she returned our paali back to us. Everythin we said that day was wat d agent asked us to say. 3rd time was Sept 17 agent sent me mail that I have interview on Sept 17th dat was in Aug that a training is coming up aboutclarify myself concerning this road safety issue b4 my next application pleassssse
if you are going for childbirth. I suggest you apply alone with your hubby. If its for a family vacation then 1.2 is too small to take care of all your bills.
