1. Avoid putting any business document, CV or anything that shows a different intent to travelling to the Uk for a visit in your bag/parcel.

2. Avoid collecting bags/helping any person to bring something from Nigeria to the UK (no matter who that person is).

3. Ensure you are familiar with where you are going and how you will get there and what you plan to do during duration of your stay. make sure it tallies with what you wrote on your visa application.

4. If your friend is picking you up from the airport, ask for his full name, address and tel no and ensure you write this down on a piece paper/writing pad.

5. Avoid air maroc by all means. That airline is not even fit for purpose for carrying cattles.

Cheapest flight booking? Depends on what you can afford and prices change according to the season

Just avoid flights that may transit in Europe because you would likely need a transit visa.

Connections to Liverpool depends on what airline you take. Besides you can also take a train to Liverpool so use your airline
Tourism ideas...since you're in Liverpool best to search out what's available there.
It's a big City

Thats quite wrong... in most cases, If you do not need to leave the airport then you are good. I have gone through France many times.

abeg go, na you be the first person? wan come they indirectly rub am for our face.

Avoid under age girls. Especially in that Liverpool, they will tempt you but be strong like me.

Just fly British Airways from Lagos and land at Manchester Airport.

It’s a direct flight with only a few hours of connecting time.

Check in your luggage at Lagos Airport and collect it at Manchester Airport without stress.

Don’t bring lots of clothes, as you can buy clothes cheaper there.

When you arrive, look for an affordable Airbnb and book it.

BA is the safest and fastest but more expensive than other airlines. Except the guy is ready to shoot out more cash.

Would have asked, Why would you choose winter to visit liverpool of all places?
Are you going for the depression? However, since you are going for just 2 weeks, pick the earliest date in september and return asap before the nuisance weather takes over.

Dear Nairalanders,

I eventually got my UK visa for six month and I plan to visit the country on a two weeks holiday. I have a visa for September to March 2027. A friend in Liverpool hope to host me for the period.
Please advise a newbie like me on:
Cheapest flight booking
Best airport to connect Liverpool
Best places for tourism
Clothings
Hotel - in case I'm moving around.
Food
Etc.

Thank you

bolaayenimo:
Be careful in Liverpool. Crime rate is high

You need a transit visa if you are a nigerian, with a nigerian passport, without uk residency.

Make London part of your plans. Beware of Phone snatchers ...Book Airbnb for cheaper place to stay. Use flixbus for intercity travels. If you're out clubbing and a lady invites you over for house party or a cup of tea, Take note! If a girl says no, it means no even if she don off pant. If you go out with Naija girls, na you go spend. If you go out with Oyinbo girls it is 50/50 or you pay first, she will want to pay for the next.

If I were the OP i won't even accept any invitation from a lady to go to her house for anything, any discussion we need to have must be done in public.

Some of those white girls are mental and can accuse of sexual assault just for fun

o tan o!

MrJames007:
Op, avoid married women.

nearest airport to Liverpool is Manchester international airport.

Liverpool and Manchester are both in the North West of England. Two big cities with a large population of blacks. You would enjoy the city but be prepared for the Scouser accent. Enough said innit mate.

Why you dey come towards the end of summer. Anyway, come along with winter jacket n jeans. Forget all those light trousers.

Hotel is expensive, come with non scottish pounds

Enter through heathrow ...use qatar airways. Check wakkanow

Congratulations. If you are traveling on a tourist visa with what you filled on your application that you are staying in the hotel. Never make a mistake of telling the immigration at the port of entry that a friend is hosting you. They can turn it to something else for you.
Get into the UK either through Heathrow or Gatwick Airport. Then, you will need to connect to Greater London to get to Euston, Kings Cross or Paddington Station to get a direct train to Liverpool City.
Good luck on your first trip to UK. Have a nice stay.

For tourism, you can go to Bold street in the city center. The best nightclubs in Liverpool are around that street. There’s a top Nigerian DJ called Gee Momo around there, you can google his current location before going.

Ebenezer2021:
when you reach there tell them you're from calabar and that you eat dogs.
If you are visiting Liverpool, you won't hear or understand 95% of their English as they're Scouse and speak so fast with a different accent and strange words

Which one be strange words again? No be same English that is our official language?

Can you share details of document submitted and how many times did you submit before it was granted My brother just buy all u need from temu! Everything in abroad is china low grade ———

Last September I travelled back to the UK after holidays with Rwanda Air, around 650gbp roundtrip and they allow you 23kg x3 luggages.
I specifically chose Rwanda Air cuz of the luggage I had to carry back, from dried meat to kpomo to Mangala to honey to garri.
Try Rwanda Air, you'll thank me later, also we were delayed in Kigali and our flight was rescheduled for the next day, they stamped us entry and transported us to Marriott hotel for the night, free lodging, drinks, food until we departed the next day, all free of charge.
I was silently cursing Nigeria the whole day.
Air Nigeria I mean

Rwanda is an amazing country. Though I won't choose their airline (flew it once. Decent but below par), the country and airline are very okay. Rwandair is cheaper than Emirates and other airlines sha.

Nigeria has an incredibly long way to go. Incredibly long.

If I post a video of a Scouser (British from Liverpool) speaking a sentence comprising of 10 words you will not understand 8 words.
Have you ever heard Steven Gerrard or Jamie Carragher speak?

I can't laugh finish ooo😂😂

You go off pant for naija guy front come till tell ahm stop.. Naija guy wey don imagine say him don fork you finish even before una reach house talkless say you wan off pant.

For our side, if shifting of pan wan dey dey too long, we tear ahm.

Complete your 2 week visit by the end of October. You dont want to be here for the first time beyween November and March.

Oblongata:
When do you intend on travelling?

At September you can get an AirMaroc cheap. Just go to their website and check their prices there.

You can also try RwandAir or Ethiopian Airlines. These are relatively cheap as well. Go to their websites, you really don’t need travel agents at this age.

You can get a bus directly to Liverpool from Heathrow or Gatwick. The bus is ‘National Express’. You can go to their website and make your reservation. You can should expect to pay from £30-50.

Have a pleasant journey in advance 👍

Do not use Rwandair or Royal Air Maroc no matter how enticing the price is

Funny how when I created topics like these, they got hidden and deleted. This forum is utterly useless.

Buy thermal wears in addition to a hooded puffer jacket for extreme cold. If you want to hustle for quick bucks doing delivery before returning to Ng, join deliveroo, better still, use the time to do research about certifications and work permits that’ll be suitable to you, in case you’d want to return for work.

adaxme:
By the way this is just show off
Ai Wil give better answer.
nairaland contains Nigerian people hustling.

Don't concern yourself. You're not contributing anything to the discussion.

Below par compared to AirPeace or AirNigeria?
Rwandair is not only cheaper but also allows you to carry 3 luggage of 23kg plus hand luggage for free.
Which other airline can do that?
The 3 luggage of 23 kg thus 69 kg total means a lot to those of us with large families abroad.
Leaving aside dried spices and vegetables, honey, crayfish and mangala wey I carry, I still carry two fully dried goats, kilishi and ponmo enter UK, I even pay extra 100$ for the 4th luggage.
U want make my aunties swear for me?
No airline fit cheap pass Rwandair for travel go UK from Africa with luggage.

Na UK OP dey go, no be heaven plus na im first time, make im use Rwandair Air cuz e cheap and go allow am enough luggage for carry naija goodies go share.
Abeg free the OP, if OP too know im no for come online come ask this kind question, if for just go buy ticket from Swissair.

franchasng:
Op please avoid AirMaroc, you won't like the experience, not for a first timer like you.


Qatar Airways is very okay.

Instead of AirMaroc go for Air Peace

Royal Air Maroc is pretty messed up and they really don’t appear to like Nigerians. I stopped using them many years ago!

But unfortunately they remain one of the cheapest Airlines to UK.

Na so that royal air maroc bad reach? Unfortunately they always have the cheapest fares along with just 1 baggage allowance.

That is assuming his friend shows up🤣
