Let’s be honest — booking flights from Nigeria can feel like a gamble. One minute you see a decent fare, the next it has doubled or disappeared entirely. Whether you’re planning your first japa move, a vacation, or a business trip, flight ticket prices can make or break your travel budget.
But here’s the truth: most Nigerian travelers are overpaying for flights without even knowing it — all because of a few common mistakes. At Loyalty Travels and Logistics Ltd, we’re pulling back the curtain and showing you exactly how to avoid them.
Mistake #1: Booking with the Wrong Currency
Many travelers rush to pay for their tickets in Naira using Nigerian-based websites or payment gateways. Sounds convenient, right? Not always.
Airlines often inflate exchange rates when converting fares from dollars, euros, or pounds to Naira — sometimes adding ₦20–₦80 per dollar on top of official rates. That’s a hidden cost many people miss.
Insider tip: Always compare the Naira equivalent to the original fare in USD or EUR. At Loyalty Travels, we help clients book flights using the most favorable currency options to beat inflated FX rates.
Mistake #2: Relying on Booking Platforms Alone
Flight search engines and apps are helpful but not perfect. They often:
- Show limited options (especially for multi-city or connecting flights)
- Exclude special student, group, or last-minute agency deals
- Push sponsored listings, not the cheapest or best routes
Insider tip: We have access to private booking portals and consolidator fares that often beat public prices. With our help, you’ll see cheaper fares, better layovers, and smarter route combinations.
Mistake #3: Booking Too Early or Too Late
Contrary to popular belief, early booking doesn’t always mean cheaper fares. Airlines use algorithms that adjust pricing based on demand, time of day, and even your browsing history!
Insider tip: We know the sweet spots for booking specific destinations (like booking 6–8 weeks ahead for Europe or 3–5 months for Canada/US). Plus, we can monitor prices and lock in deals at the right moment.
Mistake #4: Not Factoring in Baggage and Extras
That “cheap” fare you saw online might come with zero baggage allowance, no seat selection, and hidden service fees. Suddenly, you’re paying more than a full-service flight with perks.
Insider tip: We help you compare true cost — not just base fare. Sometimes it’s smarter to book a slightly more expensive ticket that includes baggage and saves you in the long run.
