Questions
Which airport should I fly into for Umrah?
Most pilgrims fly into Jeddah (JED), the nearest major airport to Makkah, or Medina (MED), the airport for the Prophet's Mosque. Many travellers arrive in one city and leave from the other.
When are flights to Saudi Arabia most expensive?
Fares usually rise sharply around Ramadan and the Hajj season, when demand from Nigeria peaks. Booking early and setting a price alert helps you catch a lower fare.
Can I get alerts for Kano to Jeddah or Abuja to Medina?
Yes. Message @flycheapng_bot on Telegram, for example /watch KAN JED 700 or /watch ABV MED 800. The bot messages you when the fare drops to your budget.
