1spotSearch is a price comparison site for finding flights within Nigeria (and Ghana). The site was created out of necessity – the need for one man to find the cheapest ticket price for any given journey in Nigeria.
The site is similar to Kayak.com, essentially search for a flight and click on a link to purchase the cheapest ticket matching your requirement at the airline/travel agency’s site. It is possible to search for flights from the some of the main cities in Nigeria (Lagos, Abuja, Calabar, Port Harcourt and Owerri)
Two things didn’t work well:
- Inability to book flight more than 3weeks in advance
Multi-city search doesn’t let you book all the legs of the flights if you use different airlines
Overall, the site is simple to use and does what it says on paper (I have not used the service to book any flights). This has the potential to become bigger than it currently is. Definitely one to watch out for!
(Update/Correction: Multi-city does work as intended. It allows you to book different legs of the flight on different airlines!)
Thank you for profiling our website and for the work you are doing highlighting startups in Nigeria and across Africa.
On 1spotSearch, ‘Multi-City’ search allows you to book different legs of the flight on different airlines. Roundtrip search does not allow for booking a flight on different airlines (a roundtrip ticket means you’re using the same airline). If a user wishes to travel by different airlines, then the user can use the multi-city search option.
We would appreciate your making the necessary correction to your write-up.
Once again, thanks
