Peacock unveils discounted fares, incentives for summer travels

The heavily discounted fares, some as low as N319, 999 for return trips, have been carefully selected to cover a wide range of routes such as London, New York, Houston, Washington, Istanbul and Dubai – all very popular with Nigerian travellers.

Incentives package includes extra baggage, visa assistance and free first date change on some selected airlines and routes.

Peacock Travels Executive Chairman, Aare Segun Phillips, who broke the news in Lagos, said the promotional package and incentives were not limited to the peak summer travel season but would run till next year on the Agency’s various online platforms and its 15 travel centres across Nigeria and in the United Kingdom.

Its office in Twickenham, southwest London, is also providing logistical support such as bus and taxi services to all parts of the UK to its passengers.

Phillips said the firm made the conscious decision to work with airlines to reduce fares after successive years of observing the difficulties Nigerians have to contend with in order to travel, especially during summertime.

His words: “Nigerians go through a lot just to travel during summer.

They are confronted with high season, high traffic, high fares; it need not be so. Nigerian travellers deserve better.

That is why Peacock is teaming up with some of the most reputable partner airlines in the world to alleviate their suffering.

Throughout this summer and subsequent ones, we are putting smiles on the faces of our customers; we want them to have peace of mind.” 

Phillips also disclosed that the discounted fares and incentives were designed for leisure, business as well as student travelers.
