Typically, you would have to fly indirectly. Qatar Airways is currently the cheapest. They would fly you via Doha. Another option is Emirates. They would fly you via Dubai.

If the check in cut-off time passes, any extra seats are given to those on stand-by who have already checked in. In the event that everybody checks in, airlines offer a compensation such as cash or a night in a hotel + cash. So overbooking is not a 'Nigerian' problem. Also, passengers in Nigeria do not have to run to the plane to be the first to get a seat because boarding passes have seat numbers. Some people try to get into the plane early because they are carrying a large amount of hand luggage and they wish to stock them in the overhead cabins @bankelele:

With electronic booking, I strong doubt that a flight can be overbooked or a seat assigned to two or more people. I have never witnessed such.

Is that true? If so how can that be avoided?
