I don't understand this love for Turkish airline as Arik is 6hr flight while Turkish is over 24hr flight.
I would honestly prefer to do 6hr to JFK then take local flight to Houston and forget that I even travelled than hope for the so called out of this world "in flight entertainment". My 2 cent

Arik isn't 6 hrs
Turkish is 18 to 19 hrs

Arik doesn't have on board entertainment
Turkish has

U r sure of bassinet with turkish...
Not Arik

Infant is entitled to 23kg on turkish
Infant isn't entitled to luggage on Arik

U have to fly at 32 weeks on Arik
Turkish will carry u up to 35 weeks

My dear Then again preference... To u all these don't matter to another all these means a lot.

Congrats on your safe arrival & POE story. It was a well planned itinerary

Flight
We were to fly to Dubai first, have a 21hr stop over (I chose that intentionally) then to JFK, 7hrs stopover then to Chicago. Trip to Dubai was good, toddlers will always be one but he slept half way through.
Note: Dey asked for my fit to fly in Naija, I showed them but it did not have my due date, fortunately I had other documents from my hospital which had all d other details. In Dubai, nice peeps, attended to us and transported us to our hotel. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner, slept very well and they transported us to the airport for our NY flight. E be like set my belle Tripple with the food I chop for hotel as about two different Emirates staff b4boarding asked for my fit to fly. No Ish, showed them and off we went. In the plane the attendants were awesome, I asked them to help me get an empty set of 2-3seats for me to lay my baby, they got me options and helped me relocate. Fortunately my son slept for about 8-9hrs. Then we arrived at JFK.

Poe
We got there about 8:30am and we're the only flight at immigration then, did the e-book entry thingy, there were 3 options usa/canadian citizen, USA visa and something else. Did for my son with the first option and the 2nd option for me got our print out and proceeded to the cbp. When I got to his presence, we exchanged greetings, Gd morning, Gd morning and I gave him our passports, he asked how long we would be staying, I said 8weeks and he asked why? Then I responded - To have my baby. He den said Oo. Left his seat, asked if I had any bank statement, I said no but I had 9k cash. Then he stamped me in for 6months. I proceeded to Agric, dey asked what I wanted to declare, told them, pepper, egusi, garri, pondo and d guy stamped something and said I could go without them scanning my bag, den I told him I noticed they did not stamp my sons passport, he responded that, it was bcoz he was a citizen and dey don't have to do it except we insisted. I told him that was fine and off I went.
Pushed my baggage to Emirates who shipped my bags to the local flight they had booked for us (jet blue). We went there by train, asked if I could get an earlier flight but none was available. So we waited for the remaining hours, was surprised how time flew and den we boarded our last flight. And in 3hrs we were in Chicago. D chill that day at Chicago was one in town. Our host picked us up and off we went.

Now waiting for my momma and den LO. I hope my long post wasn't tiring. Thanks to everyone.

Bolijiks congratulations

Does arik now allow up to 32 weeks, thought it was 28 weeks.
@simbabe, thanks, but I don't mind u referring me to someone ready to sell at 400 abeg.

Infants are entitled to 10kg baggage allowance on Arik while adults are entitled to two baggages of 30kg each unlike the usual 23kg most airlines offer.

Please should the medical clearance to fly be from personal doctor or it must be gotten at Port health?

Most airlines require it from your physician. But to be double sure check with your airline its usually on their website

Sorry I have been sleeping Emirates lodged me and my vouchers were given to me when I checked in in Nigeria. 3 vouchers actually, on for visa in transit, can't remember what the second one was for and then for the hotel.

Before I forget, make sure you book your hotel with customer care before the date of your trip.
