Good day everyone.

The intent of this topic, is to stimulate a healthy and productive discussion on the challenges Nigerians abroad face during planning, making travel arrangements, and the actual journey experience itself. The festive season has just ended and most people have returned to their station/base. I believe this is a good time to recount experiences whilst still fresh in the mind good or bad, so that solutions can be found for a more enjoyable journey in December 2024.

To kick this off, I propose the following talking points:

1. Budgeting/saving for the trip, how early to buy the ticket?
2. Airline recommendation/warning from various departure points, based on affordability, number of stops, transit time, baggage allowance, food and in-flight entertainment.
3. How often do Nigerians travel home for Christmas : yearly, 2 years, 3 years or 5 years
4. Worst part of the journey home and how it can be improved

Let's type away ladies and gentlemen.
