For many Nigerians traveling between the UK and Nigeria, Air Peace’s direct flights to London have been a game-changer—offering competitive pricing and a local alternative to international airlines. But how does it really compare?

A recent traveler @ovie_joshua gives a firsthand account of what it’s like flying with the Nigerian airline on its London route. If you’re considering #AirPeace for your next trip, here’s what to expect—both the good and the not-so-good honest experience after flying with Air Peace from Port Harcourt to London and back.

Here’s a breakdown of what to expect.

Affordable Pricing & Business Class Upgrade

One of the biggest selling points of Air Peace’s London route is its affordable ticket prices. A return economy ticket from Port Harcourt to London cost ₦1,015,000, significantly lower than many other airlines. Even better, a business class upgrade was offered at check-in for just ₦375,250, which is quite reasonable compared to competitors.

If you’re looking for a cost-effective way to fly between Nigeria and the UK, Air Peace is worth considering.

Punctuality & Professional Crew

One of the major concerns with Nigerian airlines is flight delays. However, this flight took off exactly on time, showing that Air Peace is improving in this area.

• No delays—departed on schedule

• On-ground crew & flight attendants were professional and friendly

• The pilot (Captain Ekihinde Matthew) executed a smooth landing in London

Good service from the crew always makes a flight more pleasant, and Air Peace delivered in this area.

Generous Baggage Allowance

Another highlight was the baggage allowance, which was reportedly quite generous. This is a big plus for Nigerians who often travel with extra luggage.

If you tend to pack a lot, Air Peace might be a better option than other airlines that charge hefty fees for extra bags.

Comfort & Cleanliness: Where Air Peace Falls Short

While the service and pricing were commendable, the aircraft itself showed signs of aging:

• The Boeing 777 used for the flight (“Anwuli Peggy Oyema”) was old and looked worn out.

• Seats were dirty and untidy, with noticeable wear and tear

.

• Many in-flight entertainment screens were either not working or turned off.

A cleaner and more well-maintained cabin would greatly improve the passenger experience.

Food & In-Flight Experience

• Food was surprisingly good, exceeding expectations.

• Flight attendants were attentive and pleasant.

• No charging or USB ports in economy class, which made the long-haul flight difficult for passengers relying on their devices.

In today’s world, having USB or charging ports is essential, especially on long-haul flights. This is one area where Air Peace should make urgent improvements.

Final Verdict: Good Value for Money, But Needs Refinement

Overall, the flight experience was smooth and budget-friendly, but Air Peace has some areas to improve.

Pros:

• Affordable ticket prices

• No flight delays

• Professional and friendly crew

• Generous baggage allowance

• Good food

Cons:

• Old, worn-out aircraft

• Dirty and untidy seats

• Limited working entertainment systems

• No USB or charging ports in economy class

Rating: 7/10 – A great budget-friendly option, but improvements in cleanliness, seat conditions, and in-flight tech would make it even better.
