Hello
I'm planning on going on vacation during their midterm break in Feb, as Easter won't be possible due to obligations at home and work.
A friend is telling me that we might be turned back at POE because the kids are believed to be in session and it might look as if we have immigrant intent.
Anyone had any issues with similar circumstances at POE?

Are you in Nigeria? If yes then it looks fishy to be travelling during mid term as mid term is usually one week max. Except the kids will be out of school for sometime just to go on a holday. It is a dicey situation sha.Pick another travel period to avoid issues.

Yes, I'm in Nigeria. I was planning to add a week to their break. Thanks for your advice, I'll just wait for a convenient holiday.

wahala..the economy is just getting worse and worse...ethiopian airline wch provided affordable flights to usa, is no longer cheap. over 3m naira now for a return flight.
pls who knows of any cheaper way to get to washington or houston area with below 20hrs total flight time that cost less than 2m naira?

The cheapest airline now is AirFrance for travel between now and March!

Fam, ticket prices now are ridiculously expensive. Its has been like this for a while now because I've been waiting for price drop since last year! But its looking more and more unlikely, this is the new normal.

Don't worry, once her intentions are clean.
She will be allowed entry, worry less.

Congrats

She flew from lagos to Houston, of course with a 2 hr stop over in Istanbul. She got fit to fly from her hospital (medison) and the Turkish airline people said the fit to fully will suffice and no need for the FAAN medical (that one is 10,200 naira). Flight was delayed because of IT problem in aviation since last week. She finally left 2 hours late. Fast forward to IAH. I called her (had done e sim for her) and was educating her on what to say. I was praying fervently and waiting for her to call me. I was mostly scared because we didn’t say we were going to have our baby at the interview.
Cbp officer - How are you doing today? Why are you here and how long will you be staying? Wifey - over 2 months, be staying in Airbnb apartment until my family comes. Then we’ll be moving to a bigger place. Immediately she said child birth. The officer screamed and called another officer.
In secondary -
She met a lot of people and was asked to sit down

The Naira, our government and our economy are the problem. The NGN has no real value against other FX, hence the crazy ticket prices.
Today, the USD of the N3m is $2k approximately. If USD:NGN was 900, you'd be looking for N1.8m. Getting cheap flight is a long shot right now.

Thank God she pulled through.

This is my flight itinerary with United Airlines.

I will be switching airports from IAD (Dulles International Airport) to DCA (Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport).

I have two questions:

1. Considering that this flight itinerary involves one airport switch (IAD to DCA), will my checked bags be automatically checked through to the final destination of SBN (South Bend International Airport) or will I have to retrieve my checked bags at the port of entry, IAD, and check them again at the next airport, DCA?

2. What are the most seamless transportation options/routes from IAD to DCA?

You will be asked to retrieve your bag at the first point of entry in the US. You will be shown were to take them to once you clear customs/ agriculture. Next time you will see your bags is in your final destination.

NB- Ensure your bags are tagged to the final destination. ( This will be done at the Lagos airport)
LOS - SBN ( These are airport codes.)
