Good Morning Seyewest and all other gurus in the House,

Thanks for the prompt answer to my previous question, My next question is;

Do I need to put padlocks on my luggage for safety while checking in? (You know there are many zips on the Box, Hope it will be safe not putting padlocks on all of them), Just being curious.

Thank you.

Some people do use padlock but I don't think it's necessary... Just don't put valuables there...

Stop over calculating things, I thought you will be worried about your return trip to Nigeria when you will have a lot of valuables in the bags and I will suggest you get a padlock if you're not okay with leaving it open.

Thanks my good people for the responses and advice, Being a first time traveler to USA and also with some experiences in Nigeria, these are the reasons for my being curious. Am not over calculating. I will leave it open just like @ayenikunle and other gurus had advice.

Thank you and God bless!

@Ayenikunle, can you please share your online check-in procedures and at the Airport with emirates airline as am also flying emirates to Washington Dulles (IAD)

Online check in opens 48hrs before departure on emirates.com site... then you can pick your seat and check loads of other info there etc... the airport check is very simple and straight forward too... Just queue up at their stand once you get to airport... many people are also 1st timers like you, lol.


Have you tried to log in with your ref number and surname on emirates site?

Don't worry your trip will be smooth but you won't get the Emirates Stopover Program because your stopover is less than 9-10 hours.

That is very rare...Haven't encountered or heard of it so far.
It actually saves alot of stress the luggage goes through like dirt and security purpose.

Landed JFK Terminal 1 yesterday 11:30pm Naija time.

Walked straight on to the machine for passport scan & printed out the slips.

In the next 10mins was in front of the Cbd officer.

Cbd:Passports Please.
Me: Passed them to him.
Cbd:How long are you staying?
Me:15days.
Cbd:Where are you staying?
Me:Mentioned the hotel.
Cbd:Stamps all 4 passports for 6months.
Me:Picked them & said Cheers.

Went to pickup my baggage & straight up into town.

There's nothing like non appearance visa unless you're doing dropbox and this is when your existing visa expired within 12months.
Beware of Fraud.
