Tripletmom:
Oh yes you will need a transit visa. However, they also have a lounge within the airport where you can stay. I didnt want to spend money on the visa so i stayed there and no issue at all, we were comfortable till our flight time

Morning,

Mama’s that have flown with Turkish airlines, please, i need an answer
Was told by one of the wakanow agent that i will need a transit Visa to get hotel accommodation on the return leg.

Congrats on your pregnancy. Guess what, you are still in the early stage so you have enough time to read and digest. I am not sure responses to this your post (even if people choose to)will be enough to prepare you for this trip. Sis, you have to read up. You will be spending millions of naira on this mission, you deserve to get the best out of it. Start from the first page of part 5 with your jotter an pen, you will thank me later with the amount of info you will get. All the best....

chychy4us:
What you are eating could be a culprit, when ever I take soft drinks like coke or Fanta and when I drink tea, my 3 month old baby acts that way too. But if I don't take them for like 3-4 days ,she acts normal. I think is still the colic thing, their digestive system is immature and can not tolerate everything we consume, until they outgrow it.

Thanks so much ma'am, i consume hot chocolate almost every morning at work so maybe that is the issue. I will change to water immediately. MIL is saying i should use flagyl and she wants to give baby too....na that one fear me sha. I dont want my baby to use it oh

Thanks mama .Mouka shop here said they do not sell(they put it in shop for 3yrs and no buyer). I found vitafoam shop nd he said he will book it for me by ending or early may, it should be available. I will wait to get the bed before the carpenter starts his own work.thank you

Apologies.. just read your comment. You can actually send a mail to vitafoam urself to book your special order. It takes only a week. That's what I did for my DD bed. In fact I gave the furniture guy my desired measurement and mailed same size to vitafoam. It was a perfect job

Call the airline, they will put you on standby for the next flight for same day.
Happened to me and my family on 24th and Delta put us on standby, so call american and see if they will do same for u too.
Cheers.

Thanks so much....the flight is the last one from jfk same day. Though the rep suggested that we still approach the counter and discuss with them. But even if the standby will be granted, that means it will be the next day.

Please my people, any suggestions on cheap hotels around JFK? There was a delay on Turkish airline to new York and so American airline to destination will be missed.
The next thing is to look for hotel now oh....prompt suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Yes it is the same access visa card. I tried a friend's access mastercard but it failed (I guess she needs to activate it for such transactions) so i paid with the visa and it was successful.....and yes I used it for the local flight within US

manlikegb:
@semilore12 please is the access bank card you mentioned the normal access bank visa card? And also, the american airline ticket you got, is it for local flights within the US? Thank you.

@chloe7 @Hopesprings @chibertha @TeeteeK...I appreciate all responses. so I sent my reservation to my friend in US with my access bank card details and still no luck. Immediately she selected nigeria as the billing address, it gave an error that the search should be done in country of residence. Unfortunately naija is not on the list for that when trying to search....serious headache.
Who has another idea on how to book local flight again abeg, help a sis.

Thanks, i will give that a shot though i dont think it has to do with the limit but the airline site itself. They probably dont accept cards from naija

Call the customer service they'll redirect to card services to ask what's up

Hello house,

My sister, her hubby and daughter went for their interview last week but were refused. They were there with all necessary documents as mentioned on this platform but VO didnt even ask them for anything related to the trip.

Sis & Hubby: Good morning
VO: Morning..passports
VO: Are you married?
Sis & Hubby: Yes
VO: How many years
Sis & Hubby: 3
VO: Have you travelled before
Sis: yes, Dubai for our honeymoon 3years ago.
VO: Is this your child
Sis & Hubby: Yes
VO: (asks hubby) where do you work?
Hubby: i work with xx bank and have other business that i run
VO: What are you an engineer doing in a bank
Hubby: gave explanation
VO: (turns to sis) where do you work?
Sis: Homemaker for now but intend to resume work after delivery due to the issue i had during last pregnancy while working
VO: what is your profession
Sis: I am a medical doctor
VO: (noticed previous refusal on hubby's passport and asks hubby) i can see you were refused before, why?
Hubby: yes, but i dont know why but i applied alone.
VO: (she types for a long while) sorry you are not eligible

She is really disturbed and would like to reapply.Our concerns and hoping our sabi mamas here will help us
1. Should she re-apply with her daughter alone?
2. Do you think she should try abuja or stick to lagos.
3. As regards new president, do you have a suggestion on what she should do differently this time.
4. How long do you think she should wait before she re-applies. She is due in March 2017

please help oh...
