Travel Tips

Book 2–4 weeks ahead

Domestic fares are cheapest 14–28 days before departure. Last-minute bookings can cost 3× more on busy routes like Lagos–Abuja.

Set price alerts

Use Travelstart's price alert feature to get notified when fares drop on your route. International fare drops of 20–40% are common.

Check visa requirements

Nigerian passport holders need visas for most countries. Check requirements early — some visas take 2–6 weeks to process.

Check baggage allowance

Domestic airlines vary: Air Peace allows 20 kg, Ibom Air 15 kg economy. Excess baggage at Nigerian airports is expensive.

Check-in online
