lol. Yh. Most planes have charging port. The WiFi isn’t free tho, u pay for it. 9 hour layover is long tho. But u will surely enjoy the flight. Qatar airways is cool. The inflight entertainment is superb, meal isn’t bad. And the seat is comfy wit enough leg room. They hav one of d best economy class. And u might be chanced to fly on the A380 airbus plane from Doha to Chicago. A380 is d double-decked plane and also d largest wit cool features.
Thanks lol �

Enjoy your plane ride and ask them if your 9 hours layover comes with hotel stay in Doha.

Your POE into the US will be Chicago. Your onward flight to Cleveland will be a local flight. As long as you have all your documents and you are truthful, no need to worry about O'Hare CBP.

In the spirit of giving back, please see my transcript.
Traveled from Abuja to Newyork via Cairo with two kids. Abv to Cairo wa's not so pleasant because the inflight entertainment was poor. Waited at Cairo airport for over an hour before we were taken to "Le Passage" for accommodation.

Cairo to Newyork was long and smooth. Food and services quite OK. On arrival at JFK, the queue was too much so I used the self help machine. Got 3 clean white papers for me and the kids and I proceeded to the CBP. While at the CBP, not a single question was asked! The lady just looked at my kids, greeted us and stamped us in. If not for say I Don enter Yankee before, I for say na mistake say the real CBP dey front. It was just a breeze. Less than a minute!

On my daughter's prompting, we held hands and prayed immediately we landed. Prayers work wonders my people and I give God all the glory. Many thanks to contributors on this platform too for making me go prepared. I'm right now chilling in NewYork, waiting for my wife and LO to arrive before moving to Chicago.
Meanwhile, the cab man ( old black american) that took me from the airport missed his way! Imagine that? We drove for almost 2 hours from the airport to Yonkers. I was initially enjoying the city view,but I got tired and I had to collect his phone and use Google map to locate my bearing o, which eventually worked.
God is awesome

I know its a year ago, but he didn't miss his way. He was incurring bills for you as a JJC. One yellow cab did that and I googled the customer care and called. They gave me the fixed price to pay him

Hi Ij, am in San Diego came in with F1 visa through DC. Ethiopian airline is not bad and the POE in DC very okay and welcoming. I won't advise u to do LA oooo, coz I know a lady that was turned back dats not our portion. The lady was turned back bcoz of her WhatsApp chat with the hubby, told the hubby she's not coming back to Nigeria they went through her Fon which they don't have right to. Make sure you clear all your chat where u mentioned anything about traveling or something just in case.
Quick one, incase you see crowd in the queue which I doubt call any of the security person say you are a student on F1, you won't need to queue that was what I did. Congrats.
