Don't mind all these agents, all na scam. I bought my ticket with flexi option that is meant to give me one free date change through travelstart and something came up that made me consider rescheduling. I sent them a mail to inform them only for me to first get a quote of 125k to reschedule and another mail where they apologised that they just confirmed that I bought a flexi ticket and another quote of 75k..........wish I didn't pay the extra 15k for flexi would have paid a cheaper amount for the ticket because to me I wouldn't pay as much as 75k to change date sha.

nefertitiram:


So it's best to relate with the airline directly because there's just a penalty of $125 to $150 for date change. Haba!

wakanow is asking me for 157k to change date of a ticket a bought with them in February, in my life I will never book through agents, I called the airline directly and I was told they couldn't do any change and only the agent can effect the changes.

PastFaith:
Thanks@Segbas,do u hv any info on a very reasonable accomodation? I contacted Precious Cedars but trying to see if there's an alternative.God bless

I am not an agent but permit me to share my experience here. I wanted to change date on my ticket and was told to pay 165k for the date change, I called the airline and was told they couldn't change, after creating scene at their office, one of their superior called me andd explained what happened. It was united airline- he said I booked L-class called Lima, one of their cheapest seats, and this seat is not available for my intended date change so they will need to upgrade to higher class which is somehow their economy comfort. At last he gave me 3 alternatives
1. Pay 165k to change date of 230k ticket- lailai. I no fit
2. Cancel the ticket, get a refund which will be around 180k-200k and add money to purchase another ticket- sounds very reasonable- but the money will be refunded 3-4wks afta.
3. Let them check for the dates my L class will be available and I pay 160$.

Na so I waka leave d place and adhere strictly to the one week extra I needed to stay ooo.

chloe7:
I guess I might have to create a scene too because I have a 24hour stop over that I didn't even check before booking it, I totally forgot to check flight duration because I thought it was the regular stop over hour, I just decided to check the itinerary and I saw the mistake I made, it will be so uncomfortable for me to stay at the airport for 24 hours with my tummy and my immediate younger sister that behaves like a baby, I emailed the office but they said I have through agent, wakanow resent the 157k email to me putting in bracket (as of now), see the yeye clause, which means it might go up again.

Hi,

I'm a silent reader who used NL info to get to the US (Houston) and have my baby. Baby is a month old and I'm leaving this weekend.

Call the agency again and tell them you need to get a visa for your baby's trip to Nigeria and that their rule says "within four weeks of your departure date if you need to apply for a visa".

Better still, just use the automated scheduling number. It has less drama and i used it. Check for it on-line.

good luck.

What are you flying? Some airlines provide accomodation for such stopover durations (eg Ethiopian)
Alternatively, some airports have hotels within such as Dubai, Istanbul where you can chill for the whole 24hours, at least less than N157k!
So let us know, let's see how we can solve this situation

My husband was given his visa after two denials. He reapplied the third time when i was preggy and was already in the states and was given. He went with all my hospital correspondences, marriage certificate, change of name e.t.c and was just asked his reason for travelling and he mentioned, it was to assist his wife for childbirth. They asked him the name of his wife and he mentioned it, the VO requested for evidence that we are married becuase my passport was in my maiden name, he showed the marriage certificate and change of name, he was asked what he does for a living and he answered. His visa was approved.

bossladyMo:


Change of date itself is not expensive, it's the difference in fare that is. If you buy L ticket on 1 Jan, want to change the date of travel to 1 Feb, and the same L seat is not available...you will have to pay for the difference in fare i.e the extra cost for a different class of seat.

Thus also happens when your initial date of travel is in low season, but now want to change to a date in high season.

The agent is not ripping you off.

chloe7:
Etihad airways o, I might have to visit their office in Lagos to find out if they provide accommodation at their airport, if they provide that and charge about $50-80 for the hotel it's better for me than to pay 157k to wakanow for changing dates

sayoberry:
Update:
... I met a nairalander too. My babies blew my cover in his office NL people recognized me one time

chloe7:
going by the email they sent fare difference is 13,148 and the rest is going to date change

Check here: Abu Dhabi airport has an airport hotel and a premier Inn hotel for transit. Try to book well ahead

157k ko, 157k ni. As if money falls from heaven

ifax:


What annoys me most is that their customer service(wakanow) is not 24/7. It's especially frustrating when you are in another country and need to reschedule. Calling them is expensive, mails are not immediately responded to.
