got into Atlanta few days ago. here's ma tips on travel:
qatar airways for 129,200 naira to washington DC (dulles international airport, IAD..airport code, lagos is LOS)
1st we left 9ja @bout 3pm, check-in startd @ 11am n stopped @1:50pm (lagos traffic can be funny, beta leave on time), spare a few naira notes for those begi begi 9ja customs if u like.
we landed in Qatar after 6hrs(about mig night in Doha..capital of Qatar i guess), doha is 2hrs ahead of 9ja and 8hrs ahead of US.
your ticket has a provision for a hotel accomodation somewhere in the town, but they won't allow 9ja pipl...wasn't bothered. i paid 40 dollars/6hrs to stay @ onyx lounge within the airport (upstairs...2wards the far right) till the next day.
no bed, jus put sits together n sleep. u lock away ur hand luggage in lockers like those outside banks in 9ja. eat n drink all u like, take a shower n stuffs, free internet...4 desktops provided, free WiFi on phones n laptops.
jus take note of ur departure time, usually @ GATE 14 for USA bound flights, sit around there! they may not announce, i didn't hear them announce it, but startd check-in 1hr ahead.
about 13hrs flight to IAD, don't try to eat everythn u ar served...personal opinion, might get u uncomfortable. was basically eatin lightly, drinkn more n weeing..easier!
on gettin to US, come n see! queue!! 3 other airlines landed bout same time..got off the queue afta bout 1hr, they checked my customs form, my envelope, my visa n stuffs.
go straight to B Exit section (A exit section is for countries with no worries, n usually bout 3 long queues) where u will be searched, yet again!
bottom line, with that ur green passport don't expect anything less than a total search whichever airport u go to. hence, if u ar bookin an inter-state flight, give enough time. i barely made it to
my flight, i was the last on board, they were waitin for me. i landed @ 2:30pm EST and had a flight to Atlanta @ 6:40pm, yet i had to ask pipl to excuse me cos i was goin to miss my flight and
they let me "jump" the queue at check-in.
good luck guyz!
ALL THINGS ARE YOURS......AMEN!
