Good day....

i want to book a flight from montreal to saskatoon, i can see just one luggage for check-in and payment for extra luggage. Please anyone with the range of the fee or how i can go about it, the fee is already on the high side

@Ketima
Your gist was insightful
I'm also heading to Saskatoon next month, and have been in search for accommodation, do you have an agent or someone that can inspect on your behalf.

Ketima:
Landing Gist!

So on 12th of June, I set out to imo airport to board flight to Lagos for travel slated on the 14th june.

Flight info

Airline: Ethiopian airline, Air Canada, WestJet
Time of flight: 1:40pm.
Route: LAGOS - ADDIS ABABA - DUBLIN - TORONTO - CALGARY - SASKATOON.

On the 14th, left house for MM1, got there around 9:30-10am for 1:40 flight. As I entered, went to immigration abi na custom people. Crowd was there. I gave them 1k and left without my luggage searched. From there, I went to agriculture unit, they said I will pay 2k for every bag ( I had 3 luggage with 1 hand luggage and laptop bag). I got angry there cos when I brought out money to pay them, they said I should stop showing the money that camera will see it that they only accept POS. There I knew that the money was illegal. Na there I knew I had I'm on top. At the end of the day, I paid 1k with thank you sir from them. The gave me a letter of declaration of the items I have. The didn't check it. Was only asking me and I'm telling them. From there I left to Ethiopian airline stand. I was asked to weigh the bag, Omo the kg was overwhelming but what was more overwhelming was the price I was asked to pay for excess. Now this the tip if you're to use Ethiopian airline when travelling and you have excess luggage, do what is called upgrade of your luggage instead of extra luggage (outside the 2 23kg/bag allocation). This will make you to pay lesser. Paying for extra luggage is higher than paying for upgrade. Upgrade is where you upgrade your 23kg to a 32kg. So at the end, I reduced my luggage to 2 overweight bag. Each weighing 31kg. If you have extra bag, even if is by just 1kg, you will be charged for the cost of 23kg. Also, know how to woo those guys weighing the luggage. I handed him 3k, told him to reduce the weight of the to 28kg ad 25kg respectively. So he wrote it down on my luggage for me and in the piece of pepper which I used to go pay. But know this may backfire cos, as I went to tag my bag and drooped it on the weighing lever, the guy said it was reading 31kg but what's on my payment receipt is 25kg and 28kg. But it passed. So be mindful when doing this part. It may not work for you. Someone before me paid 314k for extra luggage while I paid 46k for upgrade of my 2 luggage.

From there, I proceeded to fill the yellow card, wrote the address I intend to stay at the back, went to immigration officers. Who stamped on my passport. Then to custom officers who scanned my hand luggage and laptop bag. From there I went to my gate for boarding.

Note: I was only asked to show my ArriveCan, passport, COVID-19 vaccination card (I'm fully vaccinated)

By 1:40, we all boarded and ready to move. We left at about 1:50pm if not mistaken. We got to Addis Ababa exactly 9pm Ethiopian time and 7pm Nigeria time. Went through immigration check. Then head to gate for boarding to Dublin. We left just after 10pm Ethiopian time. Not sure the exact time. Here, I was asked nothing. Just to show my ticket and passport. He wished me safe flight.

Past 10pm, our flight left for Dublin (7hrs+ flight). We got to Dublin around 5am, Dublin time and Nigeria time. We didn't go down the airline. Crew and pilot was changed. Plane cleaned and refuelled. 45mins later, we left for TORONTO.

8:10am, we got to Toronto. I only have one word for Pearson international airport. MIGHTY. Mehn this airport is big. From where we disembarked to where I went for self declaration na marathon. Please if possible, let your carry on bag be the one with leg(roller) that you can drag. I suffered carrying my bag and laptop. Please also no form oo. Ask questions oo. The airport is MM1*5. So I got to declaration form machine, placed my passport, then answered questions asked by the machine. After submission, it took my picture and gave me a printout. I took the printout to where to get the my permit. I got there and stayed on the queue. It got to my turn. He asks for my passport. I gave him. He asked is it my first time. I said yes. He said congrats. Printed my permit and stamped my passport and said welcome to Canada. Under a min, I was done. I was even thinking maybe he isn't done. I asked him is that all, he smiled and said yes. I left there to go pick my luggage.

After picking my luggage, I checked it in for my next flight to Calgary. Here another wahala began. The gate Ethiopian airline printed on my ticket wasn't the gate of my flight. After walking miles to find the gate, I stayed there. When it was my time, nothing was happening at the gate, I was surprised. Still I was waiting cos that's the gate on my ticket. Little did I know I was on the wrong gate. So as nothing was happening on the gate, I went to another gate to find out, I was told that I'm at the wrong gate and my flight is almost done boarding that I should run oo. Before I could get there, I was told the gate is closed that I should go change my flight to next one at the customer service office. Already my luggage was already checked in. So I now had to wait for another 4hrs for my new fly time. So please, if you're using Ethiopian airline, when you get to Air Canada, be asking them about your flight. Your flight gate might be wrong oo. I made the mistake, don't make same mistake.

Got to Calgary around 5pm, Calgary time. By then my luggage was already waiting for me. I picked it and waited for my family to pick me up.

So I will be here for a month before moving to saskatoon, my final destination.

Canada is neat. Chilling at the park now flexing.

All of us waiting for PPR shall surely come to this Canada.

Currently roaming my Gloline here. It changes from Beno to Telus.

My final note is, if you're flying with Ethiopian airline, please just be mindful of your self. Alot of drug peddlers going to Oman, Brazil, etc use them. So be mindful when someone just becomes unusually friendly.

Wish us all the best ok.
