Airpeace Direct to London from Gateway Airport, Ghana Free Visas & Solo Female Travel

About this episode

This episode discusses the latest travel news including Airpeace's new flights to London, Ghana's free electronic visas, and solo female travel safety.

In this episode of Ije – The World of Travel, we unpack the biggest travel stories shaping journeys from Nigeria and beyond. We reveal how Nigerian airlines held Easter fares steady despite aviation fuel nearly tripling and ask how long the reprieve will last. We also bring you the exciting news that Airpeace is launching direct flights from Ogun’s new Gateway International Airport to London this summer. Plus, we cover Ghana rolling out free electronic visas for all African citizens starting 25 May 2026, the UK’s new Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) rules, and vital passport/visa advice for Nigerians. We challenge the “Is it safe?” question around solo female travel, share our Namibian Diaries from Etosha National Park, and highlight our carefully curated 2026 travel packages to Zanzibar, Namibia and more.
