For NYSC corpers, travel isn’t just a choice; it’s a must. From orientation camp to CDS breaks, you’re always on the move. But with airfare soaring and your allowee stretched thin, how do you fly without breaking the bank? Many local airlines offer NYSC flight deals, and using Kalabash’s Pay Small Small (PSS) lets you book flights early, pay in installments, and travel stress-free. Say goodbye to long bus rides and last-minute price hikes!
Why NYSC Travel is Tough (and How PSS Helps):
Tight Budgets: Your ₦77,000 allowance barely covers rent, food, and CDS transport. Flights costing ₦100,000+? Out of the question, unless you use Pay Small Small to spread the cost.
- Last-Minute Postings: NYSC call-up letters give you just days to report. PSS lets you lock in affordable flights early, avoiding price surges.
- Family Pressure: No more dodging “Have you booked your flight?” questions. Secure your ticket with a small deposit and pay the rest later.
- Travel Stress: Forget 15-hour bus rides with no AC. Fly comfortably and arrive at camp fresh.
How Pay Small Small Works:
For example, if you take a ₦110,000 ValueJet flight from Owerri to Lagos:
- Pay ₦11,000 (10%) to secure your booking.
- Spread the balance (₦99,000) over 4–6 weeks in affordable installments (e.g., ₦24,750 weekly).
- Fly stress-free to camp or your PPA.
Example Timeline:
- May 5: Get your NYSC call-up letter (posted to Lagos).
- May 6: Book your flight via Kalabash with a ₦11,000 deposit.
- May 13–June 10: Pay off the balance in four weekly installments.
- June 17: Land in Lagos, ready for camp!
