Nollywood luminary Nkechi Blessing Sunday has voiced her dismay over the exorbitant surge in flight ticket prices within Nigeria. Renowned for her usual first or business-class travel, the actress contemplates downgrading to economy class for international flights, given the staggering cost of a ticket reaching N9 million.
Sharing a screenshot of the jaw-dropping ticket price, Nkechi Blessing expressed her bewilderment at the unprecedented hike and announced her decision to commence flights in Economy class this year due to the unreasonable price escalation. In her words, "9 million naira for Flight ticket. I think this is the year I will fly Economy. Cus wetin be this. Haaa God."
Nkechi Blessing's concern resonates with a broader sentiment, as she joins others in the industry expressing frustration over escalating flight costs. Just a few weeks ago, BBNaija star Uriel Oputa took to Instagram to lament the increasing expense of plane tickets. Uriel disclosed contemplating an economy class flight to London for the first time in years, attributing it to the astonishing 7 million Naira price tag for business class tickets from Nigeria to London.
This predicament sheds light on a broader issue affecting travelers in the region, prompting concerns about the accessibility and affordability of air travel. Nkechi Blessing's decision to opt for economy class reflects the growing challenges faced by individuals in the entertainment industry and beyond regarding the soaring costs of travel.
