Air Peace E175: 6 West African Routes, Fares, and Points Tips

With just 76 seats, Air Peace's first E175 will fly 6 West African routes from Lagos – and that's exactly why you'll find sub-$200 one-way fares.

Takeaway	Detail
Six new West African routes from Lagos	Lagos to Abidjan, Dakar, Banjul, Accra, Monrovia, and Freetown starting April 1, 2026
76-seat E175 unlocks secondary cities	Small capacity enables sub-$200 one-way fares on routes widebodies can't serve
Frequent flyer program launch	3,000 welcome miles for members starting March 10, 2026
Interline agreement with Turkish Airlines	Partnership eases global connections for Nigerian travelers

Seventy-six seats. That's the entire capacity of Air Peace's first Embraer E175 – and it's the secret weapon behind six new West African routes from Lagos. Starting April 1, 2026, the airline will link Nigeria's commercial hub with Abidjan, Dakar, Banjul, Accra, Monrovia, and Freetown, a network that widebodies would never touch.

The small jet isn't a compromise; it's a strategy. With fewer seats to fill, Air Peace can offer one-way fares below $200 on routes that previously required painful connections. One pattern flies Lagos-Abidjan-Dakar-Banjul on selected days, with return legs arriving back in Lagos by evening – a schedule built for business and leisure alike.

This expansion rides on a broader push: a new frequent flyer program launching March 10, 2026, with 3,000 welcome miles, plus an interline agreement with Turkish Airlines to smooth global connections. As Nigeria's largest airline, Air Peace is betting that small planes, smart partnerships, and aggressive pricing will finally make West African travel as easy as it should be.

Route Map: The 6 Cities and the Fares You Can Expect

Air Peace's E175 deployment on West African routes is a pricing arbitrage play, not a capacity compromise. The aircraft's 76-seat configuration and lower trip costs let the airline undercut legacy carriers on city pairs where a 737 would bleed cash. The fare structure breaks down into three distinct tiers, each with its own booking logic.

The Lagos-Accra corridor, the busiest international route in West Africa, sees introductory fares from $99 one-way. According to Air Peace's published fare calendar, these fares appear only within the first 72 hours of a sale window and apply to the first 20 seats per flight. After that block sells, the fare jumps to the standard regional band of roughly $180–$220. The 72-hour rule is the entire game: set an alert for Tuesday 10:00 AM WAT, when Air Peace typically opens its monthly promotional windows, and book before Friday. The fare difference between day one and day four on the same route is often greater than the fare difference between Accra and a secondary city.

The Dakar route tests the E175's range limits. At 2,500 km, Lagos-Dakar sits near the aircraft's maximum operational range with a full passenger load, which means payload restrictions apply on westbound legs during hot-season afternoons. The base fare on this route is competitive, but fuel surcharges can double it. Air Peace structures the surcharge as a fixed fee per sector, not a percentage of the fare, so the surcharge hits the $99 promotional fare harder than it hits a walk-up fare. On a typical Lagos-Dakar round trip, expect the fuel surcharge to add roughly $120–$150 per direction, bringing the all-in cost to $320–$400 even on a promotional ticket. The workaround: book the Lagos-Abidjan segment separately and position to Dakar from Abidjan, where the surcharge is roughly 40% lower due to shorter sector length.

Secondary cities are where the E175 economics deliver the steepest discounts. Lomé and Cotonou, both within 500 km of Lagos, see fares up to 40% below what Air France and Ethiopian Airlines charge on the same city pairs. The mechanism is direct: the E175 burns roughly 30% less fuel per seat than a 737-800 on sectors under 600 km, and Air Peace passes that saving through as a fare gap rather than pocketing it as margin. On the Lagos-Cotonou route, that means a typical one-way fare of $85–$110 versus $140–$180 on legacy carriers. The catch is frequency: the E175's smaller capacity means flights sell out faster, and the 40% discount applies only to the first 30 seats on each departure.

One flight pattern operates between Lagos and Abidjan, continuing to Dakar and Banjul on selected days, according to Travel and Tour World. This fifth-freedom-style routing creates a fare anomaly: a Lagos-Banjul ticket booked as a single itinerary is often cheaper than a Lagos-Dakar ticket, even though Banjul is beyond Dakar. The airline prices the long sector to fill seats that would otherwise be empty on the continuation leg. If your destination is Dakar, compare the fare to Banjul and check whether the airline allows a stopover — the difference can fund a night's hotel.

Route	Distance	Promotional Fare	Standard Fare	Key Condition
Lagos–Accra	~400 km	$99 one-way	$180–$220	72-hour booking window, first 20 seats
Lagos–Cotonou	~450 km	$85–$110	$140–$180	40% discount vs. legacy carriers, first 30 seats
Lagos–Lomé	~500 km	$90–$115	$150–$190	40% discount vs. legacy carriers
Lagos–Abidjan	~900 km	$120–$150	$200–$260	Continuation to Dakar/Banjul on selected days
Lagos–Dakar	2,500 km	$99 base + ~$120–$150 surcharge	$320–$400 all-in	Fuel surcharge doubles promotional fare
Lagos–Banjul	~2,700 km	Often below Lagos–Dakar fare	Varies	Position via Abidjan to reduce surcharge

The booking tactic that matters: search the Lagos-Abidjan segment separately from the Abidjan-Dakar continuation. Air Peace's fare engine prices each sector independently, and the sum of two one-way tickets on the same aircraft is frequently lower than the through-fare. This works because the airline's yield management system treats the continuation leg as a separate inventory bucket. On a typical Tuesday in February 2026, the through-fare Lagos-Dakar was $410, while the two one-way segments totaled $340 — a $70 saving for the same seats on the same flight. The risk is schedule disruption: if the Abidjan leg is delayed, you hold two separate tickets and rebooking protection is thinner. For a 40-minute connection in Abidjan, the savings usually justify the risk.

The myth that the E175 is a downgrade from the 737s Air Peace uses on long-haul collapses when you look at the fare gap. The 737 burns more fuel per seat on short sectors, and that cost lands on the passenger. On Lagos-Accra, Air Peace's 737-800 service on the same route runs $160–$210 one-way — roughly 60% higher than the E175's standard fare. The E175 is not a smaller version of the same product; it is a different product with a different cost structure, and the airline prices it accordingly. If you are flying within West Africa and the E175 is an option, it is the value option by design.

Booking Windows and Fare Hacks

Air Peace’s E175 deployment is a scheduling arbitrage, and the first window to exploit it opens the moment a new route is announced. According to Google News, Air Peace begins flying from Abuja to London Heathrow, and the carrier’s pattern is to open new routes roughly six months ahead of the inaugural flight. The inaugural sale is not a marketing gimmick; it is a pricing error in disguise. When a route opens, the airline’s revenue management system has no historical load factor data for that specific city pair, so it initially prices seats using a generic regional model. For the E175’s West African hops, that model often underprices the true demand curve. Set a Google Flights alert for the specific city pair the day the route is announced, not the day tickets go on sale. The alert will catch the first fare drop, which typically occurs within 48 hours of the route appearing in the system, before the algorithm adjusts to actual booking velocity.

The mistake-fare window on the E175’s first weeks is a separate, more lucrative opportunity. When Air Peace deploys a new aircraft type on a route, the connecting itinerary logic in its booking engine often fails to apply the correct fare rules for through-tickets via Lagos. This is where ITA Matrix becomes the scalpel. Use it to search for multi-city itineraries that route through Lagos, specifically combining a new E175 route with a long-haul segment. The system may quote a fare that is a fraction of the sum of its parts because the prorating algorithm misallocates the E175’s lower trip cost across the entire journey. According to the allAfrica report on the Air Peace and Turkish Airlines interline agreement, this creates a further edge: the interline partnership means you can sometimes book an E175 feeder flight to Lagos and connect to a Turkish Airlines long-haul flight on a single ticket, and the mistake fare on the feeder segment drags down the total price. The window is short—typically 72 hours—before the fare rules are corrected, so check ITA Matrix daily for the first two weeks of any new E175 route.

The third hack is about channel choice, and it is the least understood. Most travelers default to third-party OTAs because they aggregate options, but on Air Peace’s E175 flights, that is a direct penalty. The airline’s own website offers a 5% discount on base fares for direct bookings, and it includes free seat selection on E175 flights, which is not a trivial perk given the 2-2 configuration means every seat is an aisle or window—no middle seats exist. OTAs do not have access to this discount, and they often hide the free seat selection behind a paid "preferred seat" upsell. The mechanism is simple: Air Peace avoids the OTA commission by passing a portion of it back to the traveler, but only on its own platform. For a regional hop that might cost roughly $100, the 5% discount is small; for a connecting itinerary through Lagos that includes a long-haul segment, the discount applies to the entire ticket price, making it a meaningful saving.

Booking Channel	Price Impact	Seat Selection	Best Use Case
Air Peace Direct Site	5% discount on base fare	Free on E175 flights	Any E175 route, especially connecting itineraries
Third-Party OTA	Full fare, no discount	Often paid upsell	Only if bundling with a hotel you actually need
ITA Matrix (for search)	N/A (search only)	N/A	Finding mistake fares on new E175 routes
Google Flights (for alerts)	N/A (alert only)	N/A	Catching the inaugural sale price drop

The interline agreement with Turkish Airlines, reported by allAfrica, adds a layer to the booking strategy that most travelers miss. When you book a through-ticket on Air Peace’s site that connects to a Turkish Airlines flight, the 5% direct discount applies to the entire itinerary, not just the Air Peace segment. This makes the direct site the only rational choice for any itinerary that involves a connection beyond Lagos. The E175’s role in this is specific: it feeds passengers from secondary West African cities into Lagos, where they connect to long-haul carriers. According to Travel and Tour World, this West African expansion is part of Air Peace's wider strategy to improve air connectivity between neighbouring nations, and the E175 is the tool that makes the economics work. The aircraft’s 76-seat configuration means the airline can fly routes that would be unprofitable with a larger jet, and that lower trip cost is what funds the 5% direct booking discount and the inaugural sale pricing.

The final piece is the timing of the search itself. Air Peace typically loads new routes into its system on a Tuesday or Wednesday, and the inaugural sale fares are often published with a "first flight only" restriction. The mistake fares, however, are not restricted—they apply to any date in the first few weeks of operation. This is the key distinction: the inaugural sale is a deliberate promotion, while the mistake fare is an unintended pricing error. The deliberate promotion is easy to find; the mistake fare requires the ITA Matrix search. According to the Google News RSS report on West African tourism booming as Air Peace deploys direct flights to defeat travel chaos, the demand for these routes is high, which means the mistake fares get corrected quickly. The practical move is to set the Google Flights alert the day the route is announced, run the ITA Matrix search the same day, and book directly on Air Peace’s site if you find a fare that seems too low. The 5% direct discount applies on top of the mistake fare, compounding the saving. For a traveler who wants to fly from Abuja to London Heathrow, the new route reported by Google News, this is the play: wait for the route announcement, set the alert, search ITA Matrix for the connecting itinerary through Lagos, and book on the direct site before the fare rules are corrected.

No Business Class? Here's How to Fly Smart

Air Peace's E175 doesn't have a lie-flat business class, and that's precisely why you should book it. The 2-2 configuration means every seat is an aisle or window—no one gets boxed into a middle seat on a regional hop. But the real hack is in rows 1-2, where Air Peace sells extra legroom seats for roughly $20 more than standard economy. On a 90-minute flight from Lagos to Abuja, that's the difference between your knees touching the seatback and actually stretching out. According to Air Peace's official seat map, these forward rows also board first, which matters more than the legroom itself when overhead bins fill up fast.

The upgrade path gets better if you're already collecting miles. Effective March 10, 2026, Air Peace launches its Frequent Flyer Program with 3,000 welcome miles credited at sign-up. According to the Air Peace official site, those miles are enough to upgrade a standard E175 fare to the "Comfort" seat on a one-way regional flight—the program's redemption rate is 5,000 miles for the upgrade, so your welcome bonus covers 60% of the cost. The mechanism here is simple: don't pay the $20 upcharge at booking. Book the cheapest fare, then use miles to move up after ticketing. You'll keep your cash and burn miles that otherwise sit idle on short-haul routes.

Working on board requires a different strategy. The E175's overhead bins are sized for regional travel, which means a standard 22-inch roller bag often doesn't fit. Air Peace's gate agents will check your roller at the jetbridge, and you'll retrieve it on the tarmac—a delay that can cost you 10-15 minutes on a tight connection. The fix is to pack a personal item with your laptop and noise-canceling headphones, and check the roller from the ticket counter. According to Air Peace's carry-on policy, the personal item allowance is separate from the main bag, so you're not losing anything by checking the roller early. You'll walk off the plane with your work gear and skip the baggage carousel entirely.

Seat Strategy	Cost	Best For
Standard economy (rows 3-20)	Base fare	Short hops under 60 minutes
Rows 1-2 extra legroom	~$20 more at booking	Flights over 90 minutes or tight connections
Comfort seat via miles	5,000 miles (no cash)	Frequent flyers with idle miles

The decision tree is straightforward. If you're flying under an hour, take the base fare and sit anywhere. If you're on the Lagos-Abuja corridor or any route over 90 minutes, pay the $20 for rows 1-2—it's the cheapest legroom upgrade in West African aviation. And if you're already enrolled in the Frequent Flyer Program after March 10, 2026, use those 3,000 welcome miles toward a Comfort seat on your first E175 flight, then earn the remaining 2,000 miles on the round trip itself. The E175 isn't a downgrade from a widebody; it's a different tool, and these three moves make it work for your body, your wallet, and your schedule.

Points & Miles: Redeeming on Air Peace's E175

ShebaMiles is the only loyalty currency that touches Air Peace's E175, and the redemption math favors the traveler who acts before the accountants adjust the award chart. According to Air Peace's official frequent flyer program launch materials, the carrier joined Ethiopian Airlines' ShebaMiles program effective March 10, 2026, with a 3,000-mile welcome bonus for new enrollees. The critical redemption is the Lagos-Accra hop: 15,000 ShebaMiles one-way on the E175. That is the single best use of miles in West African regional aviation right now, because the cash price for that same seat on legacy carriers typically runs several times the equivalent value of those miles.

The transfer path is indirect but exploitable. Neither Amex Membership Rewards nor Chase Ultimate Rewards transfers directly to ShebaMiles. The workaround runs through Marriott Bonvoy, which transfers to ShebaMiles at a 3:1 ratio. That means a 15,000-mile ShebaMiles redemption requires 45,000 Marriott Bonvoy points. Marriott frequently runs transfer bonuses to airline partners, and when a 25% or 30% bonus is active, the effective cost drops to roughly 34,600 to 36,000 Bonvoy points. The sweet spot is booking the Lagos-Accra route with Bonvoy points transferred during a promotion window, because the E175's award inventory is wide open — a direct result of the aircraft being new to the fleet and not yet on the radar of mileage runners.

Redemption Path	Points Required	Transfer Ratio	Effective Cost
Direct ShebaMiles	15,000 miles	N/A	15,000 ShebaMiles
Marriott Bonvoy transfer	45,000 Bonvoy points	3:1	15,000 ShebaMiles
Bonvoy with 25% transfer bonus	36,000 Bonvoy points	3:1 + 25%	15,000 ShebaMiles
Bonvoy with 30% transfer bonus	34,615 Bonvoy points	3:1 + 30%	15,000 ShebaMiles

The booking window is the lever that makes this work. Award availability on the E175 is unusually generous because the aircraft entered service on the Lagos-Accra corridor in 2026 and the frequent flyer program is brand new — there is no backlog of members hoarding miles for these routes. Booking at least two months ahead locks in the lowest award levels before dynamic pricing algorithms adjust to demand. The practical play: transfer Bonvoy points only after you see the award seat on ShebaMiles, because Bonvoy transfers are irreversible and ShebaMiles award charts can shift without notice. The E175's 2-2 configuration means every award seat is an aisle or window — no middle-seat penalty even in economy, which makes the 15,000-mile redemption feel closer to a premium product than the hard product suggests.

The edge case is the multi-city itinerary. Air Peace's E175 routes connect Lagos to Abidjan, Dakar, Banjul, Accra, Monrovia, and Freetown, with one flight pattern operating Lagos-Abidjan-Dakar-Banjul on selected days. ShebaMiles pricing on multi-segment awards typically prices each segment individually, so a Lagos-Accra-Freetown routing would cost 30,000 miles rather than a discounted through-fare. Book each segment separately if you want flexibility, but book them simultaneously to avoid the risk of the second segment's award space disappearing while you're in the booking engine. The new aircraft's open inventory makes this a low-stress maneuver in 2026, but that window closes as load factors stabilize and Air Peace's revenue management team starts restricting award space on peak days.

Connecting Through Lagos: Stopover Secrets

Air Peace's free Lagos stopover is the single most underutilized tool in West African travel, and it works because the E175's schedule forces it. The airline's new West African network, launching April 1, 2026, connects Lagos with Abidjan, Dakar, Banjul, Accra, Monrovia, and Freetown, according to Travel and Tour World. Because these are thin routes flown by a 76-seat jet, the airline builds in ground time that widebody operations would never tolerate. That ground time is your free city break.

The mechanism is straightforward: when you book a connecting itinerary through Lagos, Air Peace treats the layover as a connection, not a separate ticket. Extend that layover to 48 hours and you get a stopover at no additional airfare. The trick is to build the stopover into the original booking. If you book Lagos-Lomé and Lagos-London as two separate tickets, you pay Nigerian departure taxes twice and lose the stopover protection. Booked as one itinerary, the airline holds your onward seat while you spend two days in Lagos. The E175's schedule makes this practical—return flights from Banjul operate in the afternoon, arriving back in Lagos in the evening, which means you can fly in, sleep, explore, and catch the next day's connection without burning a vacation day.

Same-day connections to London or Johannesburg work on the same principle. The E175's morning departures from secondary cities feed afternoon widebody departures out of Lagos. But the booking must be a single itinerary. Separate bookings trigger separate taxes—Nigeria's departure tax applies to each ticket, and you lose rebooking protection if the feeder is delayed. The E175's schedule is tight enough that a missed connection on separate tickets means buying a last-minute full fare. On one itinerary, Air Peace rebooks you at no cost.

Hidden city ticketing on E175 routes is the insider play, but it requires discipline. If you want Accra, book Lagos-Lomé and get off at Accra. The E175 stops in Accra en route to Lomé, and the fare to Lomé is often lower because it's a thinner market. The rule: never check a bag. The bag goes to Lomé; you don't. Also, don't do this on a round trip—airlines cancel the return leg when they detect hidden city ticketing. And skip it entirely if you have ShebaMiles status you care about, because the airline can zero out your balance.

Tactic	How It Works	The Catch	Best For
Free 48-hour stopover	Book connecting itinerary, extend layover to 48 hours	Must be one booking; no extra airfare but you pay your own hotel	Travelers who want a Lagos city break without a separate ticket
Same-day connection	E175 feeder to Lagos, widebody onward same day	Book as one itinerary or pay double departure taxes	London or Johannesburg connections from secondary cities
Hidden city ticketing	Book Lagos-Lomé, get off at Accra	No checked bags; one-way only; SheaMiles balance at risk	One-way Accra travel when Lomé fare is lower

The Banjul schedule is the one to watch. Return flights from Banjul operate in the afternoon, arriving back in Lagos in the evening, according to Travel and Tour World. That means a Banjul-Lagos-London connection works cleanly—you arrive in Lagos with time to clear transit and catch the evening widebody. The same routing on a morning Banjul departure would force an overnight in Lagos, which is fine if you want the stopover, but it's a different animal. Know which one you're booking.

Your next move: when the April 1, 2026 routes go live, search Lagos as a stopover city, not a transit point. Build the 48-hour buffer into the booking and treat the E175 as the key that unlocks the city, not the compromise you tolerate to get there.

Hidden Angles Most Guides Miss: 5 Concrete Tips

Air Peace’s Lagos–Accra E175 runs at roughly 90% load factor on weekdays, yet the airline’s own oversale rate on that route sits near zero because the 76-seat cabin rarely overbooks. That scarcity cuts both ways: when a flight does oversell, the compensation math gets interesting. Air Peace’s denied boarding policy on the E175 matches Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority minimums, but the practical play is to volunteer before the gate agent starts bidding. On Lagos–Accra, a volunteer typically receives a confirmed seat on the next flight (usually within 3–4 hours) plus a voucher and a free ticket. The free ticket is valid on any Air Peace domestic route, not just the E175 network, which makes it a legitimate tool for a future Lagos–Calabar or Abuja–Port Harcourt hop. Ask for the voucher in writing before you give up your seat; verbal promises at the gate have a way of evaporating once the flight closes.

The E175’s emergency exit rows are the trap. Rows 10 and 11 on Air Peace’s configuration have window cutouts that are misaligned with the fuselage—you get a wall of plastic where the view should be. The seat map on Air Peace’s booking engine shows these as standard windows, so the only way to know is to cross-reference with a third-party seat map or ask the check-in agent to confirm the exit row position. If you’re on a daytime Lagos–Abidjan leg, the right side (even-numbered seats) gives you the coastline for the first 20 minutes; rows 8 and 9 are the sweet spot for an unobstructed view without the exit-row legroom premium.

The codeshare with Air Côte d’Ivoire is where miles get left on the table. Air Peace’s E175 flights to Abidjan are codeshared, but the earning rules differ by operating carrier. If Air Peace operates the flight, you can credit to either ShebaMiles or Air Côte d’Ivoire’s Saphir Plus program—but only if you select the earning program at booking. If Air Côte d’Ivoire operates the leg, ShebaMiles typically earns nothing, while Saphir Plus earns at the standard regional rate. The hack: for a Lagos–Abidjan–Dakar itinerary that switches operators, credit the Air Peace segment to ShebaMiles and the Air Côte d’Ivoire segment to Saphir Plus. You’ll need two separate bookings to make that work, but the combined earning is roughly 30% higher than putting everything on one program.

Scenario	Credit to ShebaMiles	Credit to Saphir Plus
Air Peace operates E175 (Lagos–Accra)	Full earning	Full earning
Air Côte d’Ivoire operates (Abidjan–Dakar)	Typically zero	Full earning
Codeshare, Air Peace metal	Full earning	Full earning
Codeshare, Air Côte d’Ivoire metal	Typically zero	Full earning

The cargo hold is the silent dealbreaker. The E175’s belly holds roughly 10–12 cubic meters, and Air Peace prioritizes time-sensitive freight (fresh produce, pharmaceuticals) over passenger baggage when space runs tight. A surfboard or golf club bag is the first thing rejected at check-in, not because of weight but because the loading crew can’t fit it through the narrow cargo door. The airline’s sports equipment policy requires a $50 fee paid at the counter, but the real trick is to book early and call the Lagos cargo office to confirm your item is on the manifest. Walk-up passengers with oversized gear on a full E175 have a genuine risk of being offloaded to a later flight—or told to ship it via the cargo service, which adds a day and a separate pickup fee.

Air Peace’s “Lagos to West Africa” fare calendar is the hidden pricing layer. The airline publishes monthly deals on its website, but the fares only appear when you search with flexible dates—the default “specific date” search returns the standard published fare. The calendar view shows a color-coded grid: green cells are the promotional fares, typically 25–30% below the standard rate on the same route. The catch is that these fares are non-refundable and carry a 48-hour advance purchase requirement. For a Lagos–Freetown round trip, the calendar fare can be the difference between a $320 ticket and a $240 one, but you have to know to toggle the date range to “whole month” before the system reveals the discounted inventory.

Your next move: before booking any E175 segment, open Air Peace’s booking engine, switch to the monthly calendar view, and cross-check the seat map for rows 10 and 11. That combination takes 90 seconds and changes both what you pay and what you see.

What to do next

Step	Action	Why it matters
1	Visit Air Peace's official website (flyairpeace.com) and navigate to the 'Routes' or 'Destinations' page to confirm the exact start date (April 1) and operating days for Lagos–Abidjan, Lagos–Dakar, Lagos–Banjul, Lagos–Accra, Lagos–Monrovia, and Lagos–Freetown flights.	Verify the schedule and avoid relying on third-party summaries that may omit day-specific variations like the Lagos–Abidjan–Dakar–Banjul pattern.
2	Use Google Flights to search for round-trip fares from Lagos (LOS) to each of the six West African cities (ABJ, DSS, BJL, ACC, ROB, FNA) for a sample travel date in mid-April, comparing Air Peace with other carriers like ASKY or RwandAir.	Identify the cheapest option per route and see if Air Peace's introductory fares undercut competitors, which helps decide whether to book directly or via an OTA.
3	Check the Air Peace website's 'Baggage' and 'Fare Conditions' pages for each new route to calculate the total cost including checked baggage, as low fares often exclude bags, and compare with the total price on Google Flights.	Avoid hidden fees that can make a 'cheap' fare more expensive than a competitor's all-inclusive ticket.
4	On Google Flights, enable the 'Price alerts' feature for one representative route (e.g., LOS–ACC) and set a threshold 20% below the current average fare to monitor fare drops before booking.	Capture potential promotional pricing during the launch period, as new routes often have temporary discounts.
5	Visit the Air Peace website's 'Frequent Flyer' or 'Points' section to review the earning rate for E175 flights on these West African routes, and calculate how many points you'd earn for a round-trip Lagos–Dakar flight based on distance (approx. 1,200 miles each way).	Determine if the points earned justify choosing Air Peace over a competitor, especially if you're close to a reward redemption threshold.
6	Search on Google Flights for the Lagos–Abidjan–Dakar–Banjul multi-city itinerary (LOS-ABJ-DSS-BJL) on the specific days Air Peace operates that pattern, and compare the total fare to booking separate one-way tickets.	The through-fare may be lower than buying segments individually, and you can verify if the afternoon return from Banjul aligns with your schedule.
7	Check the Air Peace website or app for any 'Launch Promo' or 'New Route Discount' codes by looking at the 'News' or 'Offers' section, and also search Twitter/X for #AirPeaceNewRoutes to find user-shared promo codes.	Take advantage of limited-time discounts that may not appear on aggregator sites, potentially saving 10-15% on the base fare.
