KAYAK’s top tips for finding a cheap flight from Lagos to New York

  • Planning on visiting New York for work-related reasons? Consider landing at Newark Liberty, as this is the airport in the region that is closest to Manhattan, a borough that contains many of the city’s office buildings and banks.
  • If you plan on traveling from Lagos to New York, your flight will depart from Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS), which is considered to be one of the largest airports in Nigeria. It’s a hub for several different airlines, including Arik Air, Dana Air, and Ibom Air, so it’s common to see these companies servicing flights out of this airport.
