Sample User Review (March):

“Green Africa cancelled our Benin-Lagos flight just eight days before departure—no alternative offered; we had to purchase new tickets last minute. Getting a refund took nearly two months and endless calls. If we didn’t have backup funds, we’d be stranded. This was my first time with them, and it’s also the last.”
—Verified Traveler, TripAdvisor, March

Positive First-Time Flyer Review:

“My Owerri-Lagos flight was easy to book and boarding was prompt. No in-flight frills but the aircraft and staff were generally polite. I appreciated the punctuality—my flight actually left before the scheduled time. I’d use them again if I had flexible plans.”
—Avid Domestic Traveler, Afritraveller

Comfort & Aircraft Experience:

All ATR 72-600 aircraft offer modern seats with reasonable legroom (you won’t be cramped, but don’t expect luxury). Most flights are about 45-90 minutes. No in-flight entertainment or free meals—bring snacks and entertainment.

Common Criticisms:

• Frequent last-minute schedule changes & cancellations
• Refunds and compensation often slow or difficult
• Strict baggage rules; excess fees add up if unprepared
• Occasional reports of uncomfortably warm cabins mid-flight

Main Advantages:

• Saves you money—by far the chief selling point
• Expanding route map for city-to-city Nigerian travel
• Digital tools make do-it-yourself bookings easy
• Modern, fuel-efficient aircraft

Main Disadvantages:

• Delayed or cancelled flights are still common (2023-2025 reviews)
• Unpredictable refund timelines; slow customer service when complications arise
• Better for light packers; baggage fees are strict and can become costly
• No in-flight meals or entertainment

Booked with Green Africa? My Pro Tips:

• Book the earliest flight of the day to avoid cascading delays
• Triple-check bag weights before heading to the airport
• Always budget a backup transport plan if your trip is time sensitive
• Use direct customer support channels for escalations
