At hinterland Travel and Tours Ltd., we believe your journey should be as smooth as our hot air balloon flights. We understand that with the current rise in global energy and aviation fuel costs, travel logistics have become more expensive for everyone.
To help you save on costs and avoid the unpredictability of road traffic, we highly recommend a smarter way to reach the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport.
Why We Recommend the Abuja Rail Mass Transit (ARMT)
Instead of traditional airport shuttles or ride-hailing services, consider taking the train. It is currently one of the most efficient travel hacks for the modern Abuja traveler:
- Significant Cost Savings: Skip the high fuel surcharges and surge pricing of cars. The rail is a fraction of the cost of a private taxi.
- Safety & Security: The Abuja Rail is monitored, secure, and provides a peaceful environment to begin your trip.
- Clean & Reliable: The coaches are well-maintained and air-conditioned, ensuring you arrive at the terminal fresh and ready to fly.
- Direct Access: The train drops you directly at the airport terminal—no trekking required.
Pro-Tips for a Seamless Connection
- Check the Schedule: Trains run on a specific timetable. We recommend checking the latest ARMT schedule at least 24 hours before your flight to ensure it aligns with your check-in time.
- Buffer Time: While the train is fast, always aim for a train that arrives at the airport at least 2.5 hours before your flight to allow for security and boarding.
- Luggage: The train is perfect for carry-ons and standard suitcases. If you are travelling with very heavy camping gear for our tours, just let us know so we can assist with logistics!
Our Commitment: We are constantly monitoring global events and local logistics to ensure you get the best value for your travel spend. If you have any questions about navigating Abuja during your visit, our team is always here to guide you.
