Flying Within Nigeria Just Got Smarter — Here’s How to Book Without Breaking the Bank
Let’s face it — booking a flight in Nigeria these days feels more like a financial decision than a travel plan. What should be a quick hop from Lagos to Abuja can quickly turn into a serious dent in your wallet.
With domestic flights now starting at ₦90,000 (yes, that’s the new reality), we know navigating air travel in Nigeria can feel overwhelming. But don’t worry — you’re not alone, and you don’t need to call “someone at the airport” to get it right.
Here’s how to book smarter, faster, and more affordably using Move9ja — Nigeria’s no-stress flight booking platform.
STEP 1: Book Early — Because Last-Minute Booking Comes at a Price
If you’re in the habit of booking flights a day or two before your trip, here’s the truth: You’re probably paying double what you could have.
Early bookings typically come with better fares — think ₦90k to ₦100k. Wait too long, especially for busy routes like Lagos–Abuja, and prices easily soar past ₦150k.
With Move9ja, you can:
- Plan weeks ahead
- Track real-time fares
- Secure the best deals before they vanish
Pro Tip: Avoid peak times like Monday mornings or Friday evenings — unless you’ve got a corporate budget to match.
STEP 2: Compare Like a Pro — Not Every Airline Is the Same
Don’t rely on a single airline’s website. Think of booking flights like shopping in a market — you want to compare your options before making a choice.
With Move9ja, you can:
- Compare multiple airlines (Air Peace, Max Air, Ibom Air, United Nigeria, etc.)
- View schedules, seat classes, and prices side by side
- Make informed choices based on convenience, pricing, and service quality
Because let’s be honest — some airlines offer more than just the bare minimum. Others? Not so much.
STEP 3: Be Strategic — Timing Affects Pricing
Flight pricing is all about timing. Just like there’s a perfect time to hit the road in Lagos, there’s a smarter time to book flights, too.
Here’s what we’ve learned:
- Tuesdays to Thursdays often come with lower fares
- Early mornings and late nights may be less convenient but more affordable
- Avoid public holidays, election weeks, and end-of-month Fridays if you can
Move9ja’s filters help you find the sweet spot based on your budget and schedule.
STEP 4: Book with Confidence — No Middlemen, No Surprises
Gone are the days of depending on “someone at the airport” or praying a travel agent picks your call.
With Move9ja, you can:
- Book directly from your phone or computer
- Pay securely via card, transfer, or even USSD
- Receive your e-ticket instantly — no delays, no confusion
No app needed. It’s fully mobile-friendly and designed for convenience.
STEP 5: Stay Ahead — Get Alerts Like a Flight Insider
Rather than waiting for random discount codes on social media, be your own plug.
With Move9ja:
- Set up alerts for your preferred routes
- Get notified when prices drop
- Catch seasonal promos and flash sales early
Subscribe to our newsletter or follow us on IG and Twitter to stay in the loop. Because in travel, timing is everything.
STEP 6: Know What You’re Booking — No Hidden Surprises
That “too-good-to-be-true” fare? It sometimes is. Some budget tickets:
- It can’t be refunded
- Have zero baggage allowance
- It can’t be rescheduled
Move9ja shows all the important details — baggage limits, change policies, and refund options — upfront. So you’re fully informed before you hit “book.”
STEP 7: Missed Your Flight? There’s Still a Way Forward
Life happens — Lagos traffic doesn’t always play fair. If you miss your flight:
- Contact Move9ja support for quick rebooking options
- Check for same-day alternatives
- Explore rescheduling, depending on the airline’s policy
Our customer support is available, responsive, and actually human — no chatbots with attitude.
In Summary — Fly Smart, Not Stressed
Yes, ₦90,000 is the new baseline for domestic flights. But with Move9ja, you’re equipped to navigate the chaos confidently.
Whether you’re traveling for business, an event, or a well-deserved break:
