How were you able to do all these connecting flight all together? Since you flying United airline to London, what will be your flight from lagos to US. How much is the total cost for the flight? I want to make sure I'm doing the right thing too.. Have fun bro. 33 Likes 4 Shares |

With advance technology, I didn’t have to go through the regular Customs & Immigration Line. As a United States Citizen, I was directed to the smart gate & all I had to do was scan my U.S. Passport & the machine takes my picture and grants me access into London. The whole process took less than 3 minutes. 148 Likes 10 Shares

Re: A Nairalander's Trip To London, Abu Dhabi & Lagos by Alexandre7: 2:11pm On Dec 09, 2019 |
lionlee216: Yes I do. But they only asked for my U.S. Passport. Only British Passport Holders, European Passport Holders, U.S. Passport Holders, Canadian Passport Holders & Australian Passport Holders are allowed to use the smart gate. 115 Likes 13 Shares |

lionlee216: My Newark ----- London Flight with United Airlines cost me about $300 My London ----- Lagos Flight with Etihad Airways cost me about $700 With Etihad Airways, I'll be making a one day stop in Rome & Two days stop in Abu Dhabi So I spent roughly about $1000 for a one way ticket back to Nigeria. 41 Likes 4 Shares |

lionlee216: Did you attend your Application Interview yet? What did the TSA Officer say? I wonder why yours is taking a long time. My application only took roughly five days to be approved. I applied & was interviewed at the JFK Airport in New York City, Maybe because of the FBI Background Check. TSA has to wait for your Background Check Results to come back from the FBI. 26 Likes 2 Shares |

Re: A Nairalander's Trip To London, Abu Dhabi & Lagos by lionlee216(m): 2:32pm On Dec 09, 2019 |
Alexandre7: So I'm guessing your United Airline is a one way ticket. Do you have any problems boarding since most airline requires return ticket? 1 Like 1 Share |
Re: A Nairalander's Trip To London, Abu Dhabi & Lagos by Alexandre7: 2:32pm On Dec 09, 2019 |
lionlee216: Yeah, It seems very strange. I wonder why you would be on pending review for five months. Most people I know that have & use Global Entry are United States Citizens. Have you tried to apply for TSA Precheck? That might be processed faster. I know a lot of Permanent Residents with TSA Precheck. 5 Likes 1 Share |
Re: A Nairalander's Trip To London, Abu Dhabi & Lagos by lionlee216(m): 2:34pm On Dec 09, 2019 |
Alexandre7: I opted for the Global Entry cos it has TSA PreCheck included. I'll look into the TSA PreCheck then 3 Likes 1 Share |
Re: A Nairalander's Trip To London, Abu Dhabi & Lagos by Alexandre7: 2:35pm On Dec 09, 2019 |
lionlee216: Yes, my United Airline Ticket is one way. Remember I’m a United States Citizen. I can leave for let say 3 years & come back and still be granted entry no questions asked. That’s one of the benefits of being a United States Citizen. But I carry both my Nigerian Passport & United States Passport while traveling. 82 Likes 2 Shares |
Re: A Nairalander's Trip To London, Abu Dhabi & Lagos by Alexandre7: 2:36pm On Dec 09, 2019 |

salford1: That explains why I never saw families with kids under the age of 12 using it. This was my first International Trip since I got my United States Passport. This trip also happens to be the easiest entry into a foreign country that I've ever made. 85 Likes 4 Shares |

Why do flight fares in western nation cheaper than Let me say africa countries? And also allowing some set of countries to use smart system checkpoint is prefential treatment. ![]() 14 Likes 2 Shares |

salford1: Yeah, You're right. Individuals with disabilities, Parents with little kids as well as Active Military Personnel are given priority in any given flight & are usually the first to board before flight departure together with Business Ticket Holders as well as First Class Ticket Holders. 6 Likes 2 Shares |
