Not so good. Flight was departed 2 hours late from DC and we missed our connecting flight from Dubai to Mumbai. Our flight Dubai to Mumbai got delayed by three hours. Once we arrived Bombay airport we didnot get all our luggage bags. We were missing two luggage bags so found out that our those two luggage bags are coming in different flight. First they gave us wrong flight information in which our missing luggage coming and wrong phone number to whom we should reach out. I spent hours and hours at the airport to find out our luggage bags. After four five hours later and hectic time at the airport to get our luggage bags. Overall poor communication with emirates staff at the airport and no one is helpful.

    If you are considering a long journey such as the one to Nigeria from the USA you may feel it will be difficult to utilize sustainable travel practices, but the reality is there are plenty of ways that you can travel in an eco-friendly manner. Start by choosing an airline on this route that operates in a very eco-friendly way such as Delta Airlines, KLM, or Lufthansa. Between the years 2011 and 2020 KLM reduced their carbon dioxide emissions per passenger by 20%. Lufthansa passengers have the chance to pay a surcharge for their trip to a program called Compensaid which is then fed into the flight operations of the airline so that they may utilize more sustainable aviation fuels during future flights.

  • How can I fly more sustainably from the USA to Nigeria?

    The choices that you make while you are still at home before you even begin your journey from the USA to Nigeria can go a long way towards making you a more eco-friendly traveler. Pack as little as possible for your trip and bring along a reusable water bottle. More weight means more fuel used for your trip, and bringing your own water bottle saves using plastic water bottles that contribute tremendous waste to the environment. Do your best to try to find direct flights rather than flights involving multiple stops as they save a tremendous amount of fuel per mile traveled. If you can choose flights that occur during the daytime since emissions from flights will tend to trap less heat in the environment during the day than they will in the cooler evening hours.
