Flying with 2 infants,now that will be really stressful.... most airlines hardly fly an adult with 2 infants but I would recommend you call there US office again and ask for a reduction of price but if dey refuse jejely pay or hubby can come n assist you back home cos the price they are calling can get him a cheap ticket too....my 2 cent

@kaakaa Thanks dear. I called and said I would like to include my baby to my ticket, the lady asked for my ref code which I gave her, and all she said was to include an infant the cost is $305.60. I want to assume that she saw my details on the system after giving her my ref code I.e. an infant already attached to my ticket, but she made no mention of what the other person said the other day. Now I am confused, if I go ahead and pay but get to the airport and I am being held up unnecessarily because of what the initial person had said.

Someone advised i get to the airport very early on my date of departure(Jan 29th) and sort for someone travelling to Lagos and ask to attach my baby's ticket with the person.

Any ideas? Please help people. I am running out of time.

I think the cheapest option for u is to pay the $305.60 . Finding someone that will accept for you to attach a ticket to theirs could be an uphill task considering that people will not agree to help you with a bag needless say a human being. You may get stressed trying to find someone that will help out. Travelling with infants is stressful already then u want to add hunting for a good samaritan? lipsrsealed Pay what that lady told u. If there is any challenge, the airline will bear it. Just request for their supervisor and do not pay a dime extra. Or better still explain to the lady that u already have an infant attached and ask if this will be a problem. Sometimes cutting corners and trying to get something cheaper may end up actually costing more in terms of real cost. My own stand on the issue. Don't suffer ursef at the airport o o. Do u understand the pressure you will find ursef if you are yet to get someone that will agree and check in closes in less than 30 mins? Well,with God all things are possible but HE gave us a brain for a reason.

I'm not sure you can travel with 2 children under the age of 6. You need to attach one of your babies to another adult or pay for one unaccompanied.
You may have problems when checking in as the system will keep rejecting one of the babies(from experience )
Can Hubby come and get you guys? Trust me you'll need the extra hand.

They will not allow you carry 2 infants on your lap. Even if they will allow one adult to 2 infant, one of them must have a seat. Better still read d airline's policy on travelling with infant.

That is why she should give full disclosure to the person that attended to her. I don't even know how she will cope with 2 infants. It is best for her hubby to accompany her.

Some shops/stores like macys do tax refund for foreigners, but i think you get back only 50%. U need to have your passport and your return ticket. The catch there is you need to be returning to your country within 2weeks, on your ticket if you still have more than 2weeks to your return date, no tax refund. If your gonna buy much, you can wait until about 13 days to your return date before buying.thats the last i know of tax refund as of last yr.


Wow! Interesting. Information is power.

Pls dont assume, you have to call back n explain your situation with the 2 kids and get the right information. To avoid the stress of being held up n it will help you be sure of your options.
If they accept which I doubt bc it's just reasoning here, how will you LAP 2 infants...fine pay.

They may ask you to purchase a seat for the big one....
This is where attaching to someone else comes into play so you can avoid paying for a seat......

Your best option still remains hubby coming or any relative that has a ticket....cos how will you cope with 2 infants crying at the same time or sleeping at same time or if the big one needs the convenience.... hmm babe i don't envy you ooo.... its well
