I can host you too but make sure you bring kilishi for me.

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.

adaxme:
U people have money for flights??
Na woah.
My advice just don't comeback here abeg

Science4me:
Your can use Turkish Airline or Airpeace or BA.

I have used Turkish and they provide good service.

If you dont have luggages you can use Royal Air Maroc if not, avoid them totally.

Use Coach/Bus to transit to Liverpool from Gatwick or Heathrow (Your best options will be Flix Bus, or National Express), if you can book them 1 week in advance you should get them cheaper.
There are also trains to Liverpool but quite expensive Rail is the most expensive transport in the UK)

There lots of places to visit, you can shuttle and check some nice places in London and even Liverpool or other Cities.

If you can get a foreign account it will make your journey easier too, so you can pay bus fairs with your card. (I dont know if Nigeria Mastercards and Visa work now).

Enjoy.
Thanks. I don't have a foreign account but my host is trying to work out something with his son's card. I'll send the naira equivalent to him

ILoveNG:
Ethiopia airline remains the cheapest option, just that you will spend some more hours. If you want speed, then British airline or Air peace

And very importantly, Please get yourself familiar with the purpose of your visit as stated in your application. Or make a different plan if there’s need for change. Just know your “whens” and “wheres” before landing in Uk.

Because they will question you briefly at the port of entry.

Special advice: if you have plans to visit Uk Another time, don’t spend the whole 6 months there on your first trip. Leaving before your visa expire doubles your chances of getting another one

AndroBlaze:
Hmmmm is AirMaroc that bad now??

If you can get a cheap Ethiopian Airways flight, try it.... it's also fun seeing briefly other African countries instead of going direct IMO...the only reason I visited Libya was because of a connecting flight and this was pre Gaddafi removal, so I could confirm with my eyes what people had been saying since.

Ebenezer2021:
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?

kimjessey2019:
Avoid under age girls. Especially in that Liverpool, they will tempt you but be strong like me.

Quelme:
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.

Btruth:
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.

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

doncartel:
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.

KIDfurniture:
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 ———
I applied once and got it. Also included letter from my employer stating vacation

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

Hypnotise:
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.

Lawalemi:
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

PlasmaTV:

Abeg bring small crayfish for me when next you're in UK o. I've never used Airpeace internationally. I thought they said Airpeace is like flying on heaven's plane.

I agree with your points. I appreciate the extra luggage that rwandair offers though I've never used it. Wetin I wan carry?

doctore212:
Abeg make you no too vex, which one be small pin charger again.

I can't comprhend

Semaj77:
I use Skyscanner , it gives you the best prices available and also options for hotels. To get a better price book well ahead and you'll likely shave off 20-40% of the cost of getting a ticket impromptu. Book like a month ahead.


Modified: Just checked and I see you can get a return ticket for less than 1.1m to Heathrow and back

Lawalemi:
Thanks for the insight.

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

Lawalemi:
Oh, grateful. I plan the travel for late September.

I'll check out the two airlines as advised.

Oblongata:
When do you intend on travelling?

At September you can get a RoyalAirMaroc 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 should expect to pay from £30-50.

Have a pleasant journey in advance 👍

Borrow2222:
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.

Zeefaa:
Pls can Nigerians take Emirates? Layover in Dubai to the UK. Thanks.

Also any idea how they are in Stansted compared to Heathrow & Gatwick, Stansted just closer to the accommodation
