Thanks dear. I got $4000 PTA from naija. I additionally wanted to try Travelex at Heathrow Airport and Newark airport but didn't. My layover was just 2hrs and it flew like mad. Dats why I said people can try. Don't know if dey accept naira by atm card. No harm trying.

My dear, I don't mind living without home Food. Thankfully I didn't have cravings till date. It's a mindset. If I no chop naija food for 3 months,i'll survive. Cravings or not. African store no even dey near me. In fact, to com my host house,na by invitation only. No bus. No taxis. Just mansions. grin. Unless u wanna spend $100 on taxi to go eat $20 food tongue. I'll make do wit wot I have dear. Na dis forex wahala be my focus but God will deliver.

When you finish spending at African store, your middle name will be "had i known" except you dont mind living without home food.

All I did was arrive early to ensure that I had enough time to speak English to the airline officials and still meet up with my flight!

Just insisted that I was unable to process the visa in America due to logistics and will get a visa on arrival in naija

They checked and checked called manager etc but I insisted and I guess they assessed that I was no risk per se.

We arrived naija and I walked to the front to meet an immigration officer who walked me to the office and it was processed on the spot

They wrote my due departure date below that B2. Check d border agency website. I think there's a way to use your passport number to check d actual date.

how many bags is she travelling with? I've not flown jet blue before but I think the other airlines I've used are also on terminal 5. its quite easy, there are carts for her to use if she needs to which she can get at baggage claim. I think its 2 dollars or so. insert your coins and take the cart. if her bags are not many no need.
when she exits terminal 7 there are signs all over or she can ask someone how to get to the air train. she'll take the escalators or elevator to the air train and enter the one going to terminal 5.
Once she gets off she'll just wheel her bags to the jet blue check in counter. that's all.
