    If you are planning to land in Canada within the next few weeks, you can check out www.united.com (united Airlines). it seems to be cheaper than even emirates right now. Another trick is that you should try and check for both "one way" and "round trip" and just go for the cheaper of the 2.

    Thanks for your response. However, I know Nigerians are concentrated in the southwest area in Houston and maybe around Pekham (or something like that) in London. That's why I'm asking. Please is there anyone in Calgary that can help with the information?
