Hello my bro/Sis. thanx for this analysis. like you said, it's really too good to be true. however i've always thought there must be a cheaper way besides the gulf guys. I think I do more research on this while awaiting AVO's PPR mail.Robindepiper said:For those needing to book one-way tickets to Canada, you may have found out that they are crazily expensive except for the Gulf carriers. There may still be those who fall within the category of people that will choose not to go with the Gulf carriers because of longer flight times, longer waiting times, more than one stop or connecting flight, possible transit through the US which means requiring transit visas and collecting your entire luggage to re-check them in again at your first port of entry in the US. Many of those traveling with children will fall within this category.
Well, if you see yourself in the above list, you can use the "cunnie-man-die cunnie-man-bury-am" method that we used.
Benchmark: Emirates 1-way ticket for my family size ($4,161.20). Number of stops before destination: 2, Passing thru the US (Ideal Cost of Transit visa @ $160/person X 5 = $800), much longer flight time, etc. Total = $4,961.20.
KLM 1-way ticket (8,500.58). Number of stops before destination: 1. All European/American carriers checked at the time were slightly higher than this price.
KLM 2-way ticket (6,813.56). Cheaper than one-way ticket, sounds stupid but true. Number of stops before destination: 1. All European/American carriers checked at this time were slightly higher than this price.
Cunnie-man method: Used Multi-city page to book Lagos-Amsterdam-Calgary-London ($4,950). 1 Stop, no transit visa required. Don't ask me why this is way cheaper than the one-way ticket that does not include a London leg, but we plan to generously dash them the Calgary-London leg of the trip.
Cunnie-man-die cunnie-man-bury-am.
Hope this analysis helps someone out there.

If you are making your "final" move with family, chances are that you will have checked in luggage(s). This in most cases will be checked to your final destination. You need to be sure that the airline will accept to check your luggage to the last but one leg of your journey, otherwise
