There are 2 popular ways Nigerians use when going on long distance journeys and these are by air or by road. While the first is a bit more expensive but faster, the other is a bit cheaper but takes more time.

Taking flights to our destinations is now a handy means of transportation; people are now becoming more inclined to using flights to meet their transportation needs; some reasons why taking flight is better than travelling on the road include;

1. It Is Faster: the air transportation is considered to be the fastest means of transportation in the world; for instance, it will take a very fast vehicle over 7 hours to ply from Port Harcourt to Lagos but if you enter a flight in Port Harcourt it takes 45 minutes or less to get to Lagos. Some it is a faster option for people that have emergency needs or meetings to meet up.

2. Minimal Accident Records: everyday, you hear news of accidents occurring on our roads. The rate of air accidents are very minimal when compared to that of road accidents; in fact, in Nigeria, over 500 road accident incidents are recorded every year, while for accidents, it occurs once in many yeas.

3. No Road Sickness: there are people that suffer from road sickness; that is, every time they are travelling on the road, they get very sick followed by series of vomiting. Taking a flight is the best option for people that suffer from car sickness.

4. Ability to cover Longer Distances: travelling by road limits the distance you can go; you can make an over the sea or intercontinental travel with road transportation; meanwhile a fight can get to and destination you wish to go to anywhere in the world.
