She revealed that passengers opting for the more affordable route will embark on a journey spanning approximately 23 hours and 15 minutes.
The trip will begin in Lagos, where travellers will board an Air Peace flight to Accra. After a five-hour layover in Accra, the journey will continue with Ethiopian Airlines from Accra to Addis Ababa.
Another layover awaits in Addis Ababa before the final leg to London Gatwick.
Funke highlighted an important aspect of this route: self-transfer and luggage handling.
Passengers will need to retrieve their luggage upon arrival in Accra from Air Peace and recheck it with Ethiopian Airlines for the onward journey to London.
While this added a level of inconvenience, it allowed a lot of substantial savings on the overall trip cost.
She said;
“The cheapest way to get from Lagos to London would be to fly Virgin Atlantic and this would take you a direct flight and will cost you N911k, which is pretty much million naira, but if you don’t mind going through some ‘janglover’, you can get the trip for 410,000 naira.
"To get that price you’ll be flying air peace and Ethiopian, and your trip will start from Lagos, you go to Accra you wait there for five hours using Air peace, from Accra to Addis Ababa Using Ethiopian, you will wait there, from Addis Ababa to London Gatwick.
"This Johnny will take you up approximately 23 hours and 15 minutes. And it includes a self transfer. What does that mean? It means that between this air peace and Ethiopian, you have to carry your luggage in from Air peace and recheck it in for Ethiopian. Let me know if you’ll be trying this.”
