Flight Booking in Nigeria — Local & International Flights
Find your flight, pay from your wallet, keep the booking in one place.
Booking a flight usually means leaving your banking app, hunting for fares, and paying with a card that may or may not go through. InspireMe Pay puts the booking beside the wallet.
Search the routes you want to fly, compare the fares returned, and pay from your wallet balance. Your booking is confirmed in the app and your travel history stays with your other transactions.
Both local Nigerian routes and international destinations are covered, and you can book for yourself or for someone else.

What happens if a flight is changed or cancelled?
Airline schedule changes and cancellations are handled by the airline operating the flight. Your booking reference is kept in the app so it can be matched to the airline's own record, and support can help you trace a booking from that reference.
