Always go direct to the airline website and book your ticket.
I don't trust all these agents.

They better book the flight oo. All the times I have called, they have always said they have booked it. I checked Checkmytrip and it confirms that they have really booked the flight, but the main airline are unreachable I don call tire. If they don't book it, it means I would have to forfeit my connecting flight. I am hoping they have done it because all the times I called, different customer care reps told me it has been booked.

ChemEngr01:
Go to the homepage of Royal Air Maroc. Then click Manage My Booking. You'll see booking number and passenger name. Put the 6-digit code under booking number. But instead of putting your full name under passenger name, put only your surname. Let me know if this helps.

This is what I have been doing with no luck. I just read somewhere that online check in begins 24hours before flight on Royal Air Maroc and it's a reliable source. Thank you.

ChemEngr01:
Did they send you a 6-digit alphanumeric code? Probably titled check-in number or reservation number?

They sent me the code and they also sent a ticket number. They are saying the airline hasn't updated their website. And it's 3 days now.

FA13:


Can you go to their office and physically confirm?

I guess that is what I should do next..

I don't know if I should trust this Wakanow people. The airline doesn't even recognize me and they are saying they have booked the flight and I shouldn't worry. The lady who answered my call wasn't even sure. Please what should I do next? I have a very bad feeling about this.

tolatof:


What airline??

Royal Air Maroc. I wanted to say I called Wakanow.

I called Wakanow today and they are saying the ticket is fine and that the airline hasn't updated their website. How true is this? I don't want anything to go wrong with this flight. This Wakanow people shouldn't make me angry oo .. My connecting flight JetBlu didn't give me this problem. When I inputed the ticket number, my bookings came up.

LagosismyHome:


I agree you don't have to wait till 24hours..... 24hours is for checking in . There also a place to view your ticket after booking, your details should come in when you check the website under manage my booking

Give it a day or two and if it doesn't then call the agency and clarify

Thank you very much.. I will call them today.

Ekebs:
Not check-in bros. One should be able to see his flight itinerary when you go to manage flight on the airline website. I believe they haven't confirmed your ticket. You can try manage flight today, if it doesn't show, then contact the people immediately.

Thank you very much.. I will call them today. They gave me a ticket number and confirmed the booking, but the airline is saying is something else.

patsodek:
Probably you entered the agent booking reference and not the airline booking reference. I booked with ajala travels, when I entered their booking reference I encountered similar issue. Check the lower part of your itinerary print one and look for the airline booking reference. I learnt wakanow's customer service is poor but I was contacted yesterday after booking a local flight with them.

No, I put the reference on the itinerary. I put the ticket number of the flight and it's still the same. I will call them today.

Beautyaddy:


You should be putting in your details information 24 hours before your scheduled flights which you stated to be the 6th of next month which is August 5th.

That is when you should be using the "check in" link.

Ohh, thank you. Haha, you know it's my first time

NefT:

You will be fine. Try and make a call to them tomorrow morning. How much did u book this ticket, from where to what destination?

Lagos-JFK. Na cheap flight Bros

MAKE UNA HELP OO


So I booked a flight on Wakanow and they sent me the PNR and the Ticket number, but whenever I go to the airline's Check in and put the details they say the passenger isn't found. Do I have a reason to panic? The flight is on 6th of next month. And they aren't replying mails or answering calls.

Tommy001:


I won't advise booking with the airline directly, cause local airlines cancel and adjust their schedule a lot, you need someone to be responsible for that and keep you updated, check-in for you and make sure you don't miss your flight or even rebook.

I've had terrible experiences with Nigerian airlines and wakanow(took 6 months to refund), only travel agency I recommend is Travelden

OluDare01:

Personal Travel Allowance (PTA) and Business Travel Allowance (BTA).

Ohhh Okay .... So does that PTA have a minimum amount?

patsodek:
You can get up to 4k USD from the bank. It's PTA not BTA.

BTA means you need to have some amount of money with you before you travel. It's not PTA. I am asking, if the minimum is $1000

LagosismyHome:


Staying with a friend should be ok as long as they are happy to have you .

How much to carry... only you know your pocket. Yes you can go into the bank and buy dollars by PTA. Although the rate is probably the same with black market these days .

Thanks a lot.. Wakanow is saying $1000 BTA..

Please is there any need for BTA as an F1 student? And how much do I need to hold while traveling? Please it's urgent. I have a place to stay for a while before I rent my own place. It's a family Friend's house close to the school, the same state. I hope I won't have an problems?

USA is just a change of location. Doesn't mean you're fulfilled or successful. Your mum is dumb.

May God punish you accordingly..

patsodek:
My passport is ready for pick up. Not easy to be on administrative processing for 2 weeks.

Congrats man.. I know say fear don hold you.

They are back again

LagosismyHome:


No o 3 not 4

2 checked standard bag ..each 23kg max
1 hand luggage some airlines do up to 10 to 12kg for hand . Some will agree for handbag and in addition to hand luggage

Can I take hand luggage and bag back? The bag will be with me during flight.

LagosismyHome:




The list of prohibited stuff is here but what comes to mind is stay away from Meat , hence why sometimes indomine is allowed and sometime it not because of the chicken in the spice .
https://www.cbp.gov/travel/us-citizens/know-before-you-go/prohibited-and-restricted-items

The standard is 2 bags of 23kg each and a hand luggage . anything outside that is extra charge but the best place to check is the airline

All liquid such as even perfume, toothpaste , deodorant should be in your checked bag and not your handluggage as liquid is not allowed in hand luggage . Keep your money in your handluggage or pocket or something that is with you at all times and keep your document with you to be with you at all time. make sure you remain calm so you dont forget anything such as document on the plane or in the airport .

This is a premium reply. You don too help us. God bless you big. So 2 23kg bags, one hand luggage and my bag pack right?

LagosismyHome:


no issue at all , otherthan why buy two way which is more expensive and it most likely you wont use the return leg

If you plan to come to Nigeria within a year, great if you have no plans then you dash the airline money for nothing

Thank you so much for everything you have been doing here. Please, I would like to know the things I can't take with me to the US and how many KG of luggage I am allowed to take. I don't want them to seize anything lol.

Please who has the link for port of entry interview for students. I have gone through the previous posts and I can’t find anything for students. Thanks

Hehehe, I need the link too

ghs007:
The maximum duration of US visa validity a Nigerian citizen can get is two years whether it is for a bachelors degree, masters, PhD, visitation etc. However you can stay in the US even after your visa expires as long as you are in status (your SEVIS record is intact and you have not violated the visa) but you must renew it if you come to Nigeria when the visa is not valid. I hope I have answered your question. Have you collected your passport?

Ohh, thank you very much. Yes, I collected it today. Thanks bro.

Hello, guys. Please what's the Visa duration for Bachelor's degree? Is it 2 or 4 years? When should the Visa expire? In 2 or 4 years? Please I need an urgent reply. UBAH1

Fake!
