Lagos state has always had trains working from Lagos to Ibadan. However, I never wanted to take a ride though those trains. The trains is always so full to the highest capacity. So, for me taking trains was off my list of means of transportation. You can now travel via the Lagos to Ibadan train to Ibadan or its other stop over stations.

The trains are so beautiful and better. Of Course, I had to try it out. Plus I have never taken train anywhere before. I took a train recently from Lagos to Abeokuta.

You need to go with your food to board the train. The train doesn’t serve foods to the passengers irrespective of the class you board. I was so hungry on my trip because I didn’t eat breakfast. So, I would recommend you get what you want to eat for your trip. And if its the weekdays, you can eat before going to the train station.

Ensure you go with a means of Identification. This was requested at the ticketing booth before you can buy your train ticket. I would have missed my train if I didn’t pack my work ID card in my handbag. You can also watch my vlog below on other packing tips for road trip.

How to wear a shirt dress in 4 easy ways

Travel is now open so we can start planning our vacations. However, in recent times, travel is now very expensive. So, travelers are looking for ways to get the cheapest flight booking deals out there. Is direct Vs 3rd party flight booking options, cheaper? There are so many tips on how to find the cheapest flight for travel. However, not all are applicable and tested. You can read my post on how to find the cheapest flight for your travel.

I love to search and compare plane tickets from different airlines to the gest the best deal. However, it will be quite stressful to hop from one airline website to another. So, to make this easy you can use an aggregator like Expedia or sky scanner. So, you can either book your flight ticket direct from the airline or through the 3rd party site. This post will aim to provide answer to the nagging question, “is it better to book flight tickets direct vs 3rd party sites”.

Direct vs 3rd party Flight tickets, which is better?

There is no hard and fast rule on which of these options is best. They both have their advantages and disadvantages. Below are the pros and cons along with all you need to know.

Direct Airline flight ticket booking

One of the ways you can book your flight ticket is through the airlines. Airlines offers various deals on their site for available flights. So, you can just go to the airline like air peace for example and book your plane ticket.

The flight fees on the airlines website is based on 3 major classes: Economy, business class and first class. The lowest class of flight is the economy. This also the cheapest flight ticket you can book for your travel. However, if you’re looking for class for your flight, you can opt for business class or first class plane ticket.

There are perks of booking directly from the airlines (Direct Vs 3rd party booking). Many travelers argue that in case of issues or emergency flight changes, airlines services are better. Some 3rd party agent or websites charge extra for the “inconvenience”. Below are the other perks of booking directly from Airlines.

Direct vs 3rd party, which is better for flight booking?

Flight cancelation or reschedule

In recent times, the uncertainty around the pandemic may lead to flight cancellations or a need to reschedule your flights. It is easy to reschedule your flight directly from the airline. Can I cancel a flight booking direct from airlines? Yes sure. There are times you need to cancel or make changes to your booking. This you can easy do with the airlines.

Unlike if you compare direct vs 3rd party agents, you will need to 3rd party websites first. These agents will ask for extra charges or fee to make changes to your flight tickets. So, it is advisable to book flights directly from airlines for the ease of making changes to flight books.

Also, in the event of a cancellation, it is easier to deal directly with the airlines for a refunds of your funds. So, you can get your refunds without hassle with little or no fees.

Earn flight miles or points

Another reason when comparing booking your flight tickets direct Vs 3rd party, it is said you earn miles if booked from airlines . So many airlines offers your miles to encourage flight booking directly on their website. I love to book from 3rd party website because I can compare flight deals. However, I couldn’t get a friend to book on the same 3rd party website because of the miles he enjoys with a air peace flight booking.

This points or miles you can use to get a discount on your next flight ticket fees. On the other hand, most 3rd party website offers very discounted fares from airlines. So, you may not get the extra advantage of earning points using 3rd party website.

These reward points you can easily redeem when you book your next flight.

3rd party online flight booking

The other option to book a plane ticket is through 3rd party sites or agent. These sites liaise with airlines to book your flight on your behalf. There are so many 3rd party websites for online flight booking you can use. However, the best website for flight booking is relative.

This is because these sites have their use. So, you can use any 3rd party website like expedia, sky scanner, travelstart etc to search and book cheap flight tickets for your travel.

3rd party sites offers discounted flight fares

Flight ticket purchase through 3rd party sites has its advantages too. The main one is the getting the best flight deals available for your travel. So, if your goal is to get cheap plane tickets for your travel, use 3rd party sites. I would recommend using travel start Nigeria, if you’re in Nigeria.

Travelstart is a search engine and online flight booking sites you can use to book your flight tickets. Just like 3rd party sites. Travelstart pools the flights and prices from several airlines. This will enable you compare and choose the best flight deals available from the airline of your choice. So, if you need to get the best deals for your flight, opt for 3rd party sites.

Although, to get the best flight ticket deals, you need book your flight ahead of your travel dates. You need to book your local flights within 1 month or 3-6 months for international travel.

This is because the prices of airplane ticket rises as your travel dates gets closer. So, it is impossible to get cheap last minute flight tickets. Although, there are cases that last minute flight is inevitable like a work meeting or a burial travel. Below are other benefits of booking from 3rd party airlines.

Flight cancelation refunds

You can cancel and ask for refunds on your flight tickets from 3rd party website. This sites will then liaise with the airline on your behalf and get your refunds. However, this service comes with an extra charge or fee. In which in most cases are quite outrageously high for some 3rd party website.

I normally use Travelstart to book both my flights for local and international travel. They offer free cancellation or reschedule of flight for travelers. However, you need to buy their Travelstart cancellation product ( Flexible travel date fee). This will allow you cancel your flight within 48 hours of departure for free.

Earn and redeem points or miles

Another perks you can get from booking direct from airlines is earning points you can redeem for a discount your flight tickets. This you can also enjoy with some 3rd party website for online flight booking.

Travelstart Nigeria also enables you to earn miles from airlines. All you have to do is to sign up for frequent flyer number from your preferred airlines. This you need to add at check out for your flight booking.

So, asides the discounted fares from this 3rd party website, you get to earn miles too. This points you can also redeem using your frequent flyer number on the airline of choice.

Although booking flights direct vs 3rd party has its pros and cons. Most 3rd party websites are now offering the same benefit as booking directly. So, if you need to book cheap plane tickets for your travel and still enjoy the benefit of direct booking, opt for Travelstart. You click here to book your international flight ticket. Also for local flights in Nigeria, click here to book.

Direct vs 3rd party: which is best for flight booking?

Do you love designers but you can’t afford them? Yeah, me too. I love designers and watch Cassie’s YouTube channel for the designers’ updates. However, the prices of these designers are way above my spending limit now. So, I opted to shop designer dupes to save a lot of income.

One of the best places to shop designer dupes is Ego shoes. Ego shoes is a Uk fashion brand that sells quality designer dupe accessories. These dupes are very affordable compared to the original designer brands.

So, if you need to shop for cheap designer dupe bags, shoes, or hats, shop from Ego shoes. I would recommend Ego shoes as one of the best places to shop designer dupes for your closet.

So, you can easily track it to know where it is. Normally I use Nipost international tracker to check my order status. This will tell me if my order has arrived in Nigeria.

Designer dupe Alternatives: Louis Vuitton Multi-pochette accessoires

My best designer dupe bag so far is this LV dupe from Ego shoes. I love it because you can wear it for work or a casual outing. Also, you can wear the bag together as a set or separately. I will share some pictures of how I wore this designer dupe bag.

The bag comes in a set of 2 bags. You can wear the 2 bags together. Also, you can opt to wear either of the two bags. I prefer to wear the 2 bags together. This is because the bag is can only contain essentials. So, I can add my essentials to both bags.

I also love this bag because it has two bag handles. So, you can wear it with its coin bag as a cross-body bag. Also, you can take off the large strap and wear it as a shoulder bag with its chain strap.

As we all know in this blog, I also have a regular day job. One of the challenges I have is shopping for quality work clothes on a budget. I follow a lot of Nigerian brands whose work clothes for women are quite expensive. However, I got to find these 5 best places to buy work clothes for women in Lagos.

Before I found these brands, I had to opt to shop for work clothes from the famous Eko. If you’ve been to this market, you will know it is not easy to shop here. This market is always crowded and you have higher chances of losing your valuables. Also, some of these sellers hike the prices if you’re a newbie. (Jonny just come).

I bought a workwear dress (emergency) from this market and I hated it. So, I had to look for other places to shop for work clothes for women. Here are my top 5 best places to buy work clothes for women in Lagos.

Under 5k store

Under 5k store is a Nigerian fashion for women’s clothes you need to know. It is one of my 5 best places to buy work clothes for women in Lagos. I first got to know about this brand on Instagram. However, you can only make your order via WhatsApp.

I know most of us are wary of shopping from Instagram. (Scam everywhere). Under 5k store sells clothes for women for both work and casual outings. I love their workwear options.

I recently shopped from this brand and I love the outfit. The outfit is fit to size. So, I didn’t have to make any adjustments to the clothes. All items in this store are around 5,000 naira. However, you get some of these workwear outfits that sell for less than 5,000 naira. You can follow them on Instagram to get the latest update on ongoing sales. Also, the items sell fast too. So, if you like, shop it asap.

Virtue Clothiers

Another of my 5 best places to buy work clothes for women is Virtue clothiers. It is a Nigerian ready-to-wear Instagram store. They sell clothes for both work and casual outings.

My best work clothes for women that I can’t stop wearing are from virtue clothiers. I recently shopped for a polka-dot dress from this brand and the compliments are endless. So, if you need work clothes that are affordable yet stylish, shop from this brand.

Their prices ranges between 5000-8000 naira per dress or workwear outfit. Also, you can look out for sales from this brand to shop for work clothes for less prices. You can only shop for your outfit from WhatsApp. Click here to shop for work clothes from virtue clothiers on Jumia. They have so many chic options you need to step up your work outfits.

Jumia has monthly discounts you can use to get some money off your orders. I use the honey chrome extension for mobile/PC to get this discount. All her outfits are true to size.

Stylestation. ng

Style station is a relatively new Nigerian fashion brand you can shop for work clothes for women. It is another of my 5 best places to buy work clothes for women in Lagos. They sell various categories of workwear for women on their website. However, the least price for an outfit is about 8000 naira. So, the prices of some of their workwear outfit are higher than the previous two Nigerian fashion brands.

Style station is an online clothing store in Lagos you can shop from the comfort of your home or workplace. Also, you can make your order via Instagram or WhatsApp. They deliver to Lagos and outside Lagos.

I recently shopped for this brand. The clothes seem like they are being made on request. My dress was beautiful but looked like it needed proper ironing.

The 5K shop

Another Nigerian fashion brand you need to know for women’s work clothes is the 5k shop. Although it has an Instagram presence, you can only make your order from its website. At first look, you will think that this brand only sells casual outfits. However, you can get style work clothes for women for 5,000naira.

Although, I am yet to shop from this brand. It is one the top of my wish list site to shop for workwear. So, I cannot talk more about the quality. However, it is worthy of mention on this list because of the positive reviews about this brand. My fingers are crossed though.

Allsheneeds fashion store

An oldie but goodie favorite Nigeria brand that I love to shop from is Allsheneeds. This brand sells fashion and classy women’s clothes you need in your closet. You can shop for both work wear and casual clothes from this brand.

This brand started out as a fashion brand and has evolved to include lifestyle too. So, if you a Nigerian fashion brand to shop for all things women need, shop from allsheneeds. You can also read my reviews on shopping from this brand. Also, you can patronize this brand by going to their physical store at Lekki. So, if you’re not a fan of online shopping, you can patronize them in-store.

There are other places you can shop Nigerian fashion items on a budget. One such place is the Lekki arts and crafts market. You can read my post to know all about the Lekki arts and craft market.
