Hello Seniors , please help me oo!! Anyone flew air canada before ? IS it the regular 2 ( 23kg) baggage’s allowance

Once you have done ur booking all the way to ur destination from Naija, i dont think you have to worry about the baggage allowance and i believe its the 23kg *1 allowance.

Hi,

Please has anyone travelled with Egypt airline recently?
What's up with this their "binning fish"? Do they still discard stuff?
Please share your luggage handling experience to clear the air.

Thank you.

You just read my mind on this because I have been thinking of asking about travelling with my precious electrical wanna maker and Kenwood mixer but ive been very busy lately to come online to ask. Then I decided to search for a step down adaptor/transformer and also watched a YouTube video where someone one was sent a 220v appliance instead of a 110v one which was compatible with his countries voltage, but then I still wanted to clarify if anyone has successfully used the adaptor over there with Nigerian appliances. My waina maker can't be left here in naija oooo

Please what is a waina maker? I am just curious, never heard of it. As for the transformer, just make sure its output voltage and frequency matches your Waina makers input.

It is a bit complicated but, for a Nigerian, generally you will not need a visa if
i. you are transiting to Canada
ii. you will not leave the main airport building
iii. your onward flight is not in another airport
vi. you will not need to collect your bags and check them in to your onward flight
v. your onward flight does not leave on a different calendar day to when you arrive

You might need to check here: https://www.gov.uk/transit-visa


Thanks so much &Joo2018. I had to call Jumia travels and was advised to book another one cos it’s most likely I will be needing a transit VISA. So I have paid for my Ethiopian airline jejely.

Thanks
Business over economy.

I hear putting coffee beans in the container (ziploc, plastic, etc) of any products that generally has a smell, prevents it from getting binned. Two people I know have tried it with Egypt Air and nothing was binned (but I don't know if they had fish)

How about landing formalities?

I've been seeing conflicting information online about first time FSW permanent residents landing in Montreal as their POE.

UPDATED: I've seen an answer on twitter.

I put my fish in my checked in bag from Naija and had no issues. I think the fish binning was one off.
