Where are You Going This Summer? Here’s How to Get Last Minute Summer Travel Deals from Nigeria!
So many people have been looking forward to this time of the year to tick off all their summer travel goals. If you are looking for cheap flights this year, I’ve got something exciting for you! Here are all the tips you need to know about getting the cheapest tickets for your summer trip (complete with screenshots).
So, whether you’re going to Dubai or you’re going hiking in Nepal or to the beaches of Fiji, these are the steps to get tickets as low as 153,000 Naira.
STEP 1: Choose where you are going and when to go.
The best time to travel is off-peak (see old thread). However, the reality is that most people with families will travel during the summer when schools are closed. If so, you can still get deals.
STEP 2a: Look for a trusted website offering tickets in Naira!
There are lots of ticketing sites offering deals in USD. Don’t do it, if you are paying in Naira. The conversion rate will not favor you. A very good place to start is Travelstart NG! There is currently a big summer sale on-going on their site and I highly recommend you check it out.
STEP 2b: Let’s use Travelstart NG for show & tell.
When you go to the site, you’ll see deals to major summer destinations – JoBorg, Dubai, London, New York & Houston for as low as ₦153,000! (attached). Click BOOK NOW for your choice city.
STEP 3: What if you want to choose your own city ANYWHERE? Great!
On the same page, scroll down a little to the search bar (see below) put in the city of your choice and choose your dates.
STEP 4: Extend your search dates.
STEP 5: From my last tweet, you can see that by clicking on that +/- 3 days button, I have gotten ever cheaper ticket options. If I simply move my trip by 1 day, I can pay ₦199,299 Naira instead of ₦217,799! That’s amazing if you ask me! Less than 200k for a ticket to Dubai!
When you find what you’re looking for, make your booking, pay and go explore the world. I chose Dubai for this experiment because I was actually looking for tickets to Dubai for myself. I have never been to Dubai and I really want to go! I have bought so many tickets this way, and I have bought so many tickets on deal sites, especially on Travelstart. I like that the site is easy to use and offers tickets to destinations across Nigeria and the world! From Abuja to JoBorg to New York, you can get lots of deals.
Thanks to everyone who took my poll! I tried to cover all the cities you requested and I also focused on the most popular one – Dubai! Oya, now you can find all the cheap tickets you need to live your best life!
So, #WhereAreYouGoingThisSummer? I would really love to finally visit Dubai and of course, my list of African cities. Yaaaay! If you’re like me, you’re bookmarking this deal page. Looks like the deals will end in 1 week!
