  • Does Arik fly to Lagos from the UK?

    Arik Air, the main Nigerian airline, has its headquarters at Lagos Murtala Muhammed Airport. It does, however, only operate domestic flights and routes to other cities within Africa – to reach Lagos from the UK, you will need to use a different carrier, such as Virgin Atlantic, British Airways or Turkish Airlines.

  • Where can I relax at Lagos Murtala Muhammed Airport?

    Travellers who feel weary after long flights to Lagos may wish to spend their stopover enjoying some peace and quiet in an airport lounge. Several are available, including the Glabfol Lounge (international and domestic terminals) and Skyway Premium Lounge (international terminal only), and can be accessed through membership programmes or by purchasing a lounge pass.

  • What direct flights are available from the UK to Lagos?

    You can book direct flights to Lagos when you choose flights with Virgin Atlantic. Flights to Lagos on this route take off from London Heathrow Airport and usually take just over 6h.

However, indirect flights are often cheaper than direct flights.

  • Do I need a visa to fly from the UK to Lagos?

    UK citizens travelling from the UK to Lagos must apply for a short visit visa before they arrive. Short visit visas usually cover your stay in the country for up to 90 days.

You can find out how to apply for a visa by contacting the Nigerian High Commission headquarters in London.

  • Can I hire a car from Lagos International Airport?

    Car hire is available at Lagos Airport, with several international agencies operating near the terminals. Car hire is an excellent option for passengers arriving in Lagos as public transport options from the airport can be limited.

    Air Peace operates the most flights from the United Kingdom to Lagos at 7 per week, and for this route Air Peace is also the airline most often selected by KAYAK users searching for flights from the United Kingdom to Lagos.

Your guide to booking Lagos flights

From booking to airport arrival, find tips to help you plan your flight with more confidence.
  • For the best chance at a low fare to Lagos, aim to book around 10 weeks before you fly. That window historically saves about 11% versus last-minute pricing based on KAYAK booking data over the last 12 months.
  • For flights to Lagos, recent KAYAK data shows that stronger deals tend to be around £615 return. If you see a fare below that threshold, it's a good deal – book before the price climbs back up.
  • If you can choose when to go, aim to travel to Lagos in February. Return fares historically average £631 that month – typically the cheapest month to travel based on the last 12 months.
  • Before you book:

    • Check the route's typical price range so you can spot a deal.
    • Confirm baggage fees and seat selection costs on budget carriers.
    • Verify whether you need any travel documents beyond an ID.
    • Pick a departure airport, since your nearest may not be the cheapest origin.
  • Shift your departure to afternoon to save up to £140 per return. Afternoon flights to Lagos average £702 compared to £843 for evening flights. See the time-of-day chart above for the full breakdown.
  • Bag allowances vary by airline, fare type, cabin class, and route. On flights to Lagos, some airlines may include bags at no extra cost. For example, Air Peace includes a cabin bag and a checked bag in Economy class, Virgin Atlantic includes a cabin bag and a checked bag in Economy class, and British Airways includes a cabin bag and a checked bag in Economy class. Always check the fare details before booking, since bag policies can change by ticket type.
  • One of the busiest airports in Africa, Lagos Murtala Muhammed Airport (LOS) serves not just the Nigerian capital but also the cities of Ikeja and Lekki. While it is actually closest to Ikeja (3 mi), downtown Lagos is only a short 8 mi hop away.
  • Lagos Murtala Muhammed Airport features two terminals serving both international and domestic flights to Lagos. Should you need to transfer between the two, which are roughly 1 mi apart, you can make the journey easily on foot. Beware of transfer touts, who may charge you a large sum of money for the short trip – if you have lots of luggage and do need a cab, hail a licensed taxi.
  • When it comes to leaving the airport, taxi is the safest and easiest way to get to your final destination. Licensed yellow taxis are found upstairs outside the departure lounge at Lagos Airport and should cost around 6,000 NGN (12.50 GBP) for the 30min ride to the city centre.
  • Travellers on late flights to Lagos may prefer to spend the night at a nearby hotel before making the trip into the city – this is certainly the safest option. The Blue Lodge Hotel (budget) and Legend Hotel Lagos Airport (upmarket) are both located on the airport site.
  • Thanks to its close proximity to the city, Lagos Murtala Muhammed Airport is well served by the business facilities at several nearby hotels like the Sheraton Lagos Hotel (2.5 mi from the airport). If you need to catch up on work or hold a conference as soon as you land, the hotel has numerous meeting areas available.
  • Want to reduce your carbon footprint when you fly? Passengers on flights to Lagos from the UK can cut their emissions by more than 40% when they fly with KLM from London Heathrow (LHR). This route takes around 10h and usually involves a single stop at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (AMS).
  • Passengers flying to Lagos from London can also fly from London City Airport (LCY) with KLM in around the same time it takes to fly from Heathrow. While Heathrow is London’s largest airport, London City is London’s most central airport and is located just a 30min drive or a 40min train ride from the city centre.
  • Catching a last-minute flight to Lagos? Staff at the Tourist Information Desk, located inside the Arrivals Hall at Murtala Muhammed Airport, can help you find and book accommodation when you land.

The flight was 45 mins late leaving, we sat without a/c for some of this, 2nd Meal was a slice of pizza. Movies were good.

Short flight so it was okay. Nice crew, all very pleasant and professional. We were near the back in row 27 so just as we got our drinks, we started our descent so had to drink very quickly!

Our first flight was delayed so we missed our connecting flight. However it was easy to book a later flight on their app.

The flight was great, the only reason for middle scores on entertainment and food is that it was a short flight so not included (but snacks were served including alcoholic beverages free of charge). I would definitely recommend KLM.

Was trying to change a flight but told that Canadian and local klm systems do not interact so they could not access my booking. Overall I like klm a lot but if it was important to change flights I would be very frustrated.

KLM is my favourite airline. Never ever let us down.Staff are first class.

Pretty bad. Food was awful. drinks were scarce, as if drinking an extra drink would ruin the airline. attendants were not very helpful. likely Dutch "directedness" (I cannot be bothered). Crammed flight. Entertainment in very minimal dosage. Almost all old movies and series with 1-3 episodes only. Very limited number of options available. Jesus!! it seems you need to bring your own entertainment these days even of flights that are 13 hrs long!! I would and I will avoid in the future!

I travel frequently. The flight was late again... KLM should really try and be on time

The flight itself it was great nice food the crew were very nice and helpful, Checking in from Birmingham wasn't great long queues for bag dropped, And I had my hand luggage case taken away from me even though I requested to have it with me as I had breakables items. I was told I can not because of the length of the flight with no explanation at all no options was given for me to take my fragile items out of my case it was taken away with hold buggage I find the staff member who was checking me in very unpleasant !! Can we please be advise if the rules have changed about the the carry on hand luggage it will be easier to be advise on booking your tickect if we not allowed to take the hand luggage with me. Overall I had a good flight .

one of my bags was drenched with fish smelling water and all my new clothes bought at dublin and the 23kg checked in bag were all gone waste with very pungent fish smell and also having stains

My recent Air France flight from Paris to Toronto was a genuinely pleasant long‑haul experience, marked by strong service and thoughtful touches throughout the journey. The boarding process was orderly and efficient, with only a short wait before passengers were invited to step onboard. Everything moved with calm coordination, setting a positive tone right from the start. Once in the air, the inflight crew truly shined. They were warm, friendly, and consistently attentive without ever feeling intrusive. Their professionalism and upbeat energy made the cabin feel welcoming and well cared for. The meals and overall service were very good—well‑timed, nicely presented, and satisfying. Air France’s reputation for quality inflight dining held up, and the crew ensured that drinks, snacks, and small requests were handled promptly. I traveled in a business‑class pod, which offered excellent privacy and comfort. The seat itself was spacious and well‑designed, ideal for both resting and working. The only minor drawback was that the pod felt a bit warm when fully closed, but it wasn’t enough to detract from the overall comfort. Overall, this Air France flight delivered a smooth, friendly, and enjoyable experience from gate to landing. The combination of efficient boarding, exceptional crew service, quality meals, and a comfortable seat made the long journey feel easy and well supported.

Seats! The eternal problem in economy. They are like stones!!

They lost my bag and I still haven’t received it yet

The plane was old Only 3 bathrooms available for economy The entertainment was old and the selection was poor

Georgian Airways check in staff initially denied us, because they thought passengers required transit visas to transfer on connecting flights. This required 70 minutes for them to call multiple people to confirm how transfers worked. They did not apologize once accepting our check in. Onboard, the four hour flight gave stale bread with spam slices as lunch. The only included drinks were still or sparkling water.

Not a good one this time. The absence of internet without any information/notification ahead was really the unacceptable part. Also this new A350-900 has a serious legroom challenge for economy seats. It’s more like a medium-haul flight legroom configuration.

There was 2 hours delay before boarding and 2 hours delay after boarding while waiting in the plane

No birding was given for next trip on same carrier, food was very moderate.

Crew was professional. Boarding has few seats . Since the plane was not full would have been nice to change seat on the internet

Flight was more then 3 hour late and I did not get my luggages

Lounge was top notch h with great variety of food and drinks. Cabin crew were great. Smooth flight.

My seat 3G did not go down fully and the buttons were not working properly

Food was the worst I’ve had on a VA flight. Normally it’s a lot better

These are one of the older seat arrangements facing away from the windows! Not particularly convenient sets. No storage spaces. NO COAT HANGING HOOKS. Inconvenient business class seat compared to any other airlines of similar class. Staff are excellent! Extremely professional, friendly. Food is good too.

The staff was not very polite but the flight was very very nice and comfortable and the entertainment was great

Premium economy more comfortable than economy, but not by much. Did was awful, do not try the omelette. Flight crew were helpful. Flight was delayed by over an hour. Overall but bad, arrived safely and thank God.

Food was excellent. Service was very good. Staff was very helpful to all passengers.

Your flight delayed at Heathrow n I almost missed my mother funeral.you idiots. I had to waste 10 hours in different airports. Thank your stars I'm not suing you.

Seats were old and dirty, for a long haul flight you expect to be able to recline and for the av to work properly. Choice for vegans was fruit….

The Virgin Atlantic crew was very good. However, the equipment was OK, the seats were OK, but her bags did not arrive with me. Two bags showed up a day later and I’m still waiting for my third back.

The crew was friendly, 5/5 stars. The food was better than ok, 3.5/5 stars. The seats were tight, 3/5 stars. The entertainment was 2/5 stars because of lack of WiFi.

Extremely Disappointing Experience Boarding was chaotic and poorly managed—we were left standing in the heat for 30–45 minutes with no explanation or apology. As a business class passenger, I was shocked when a staff member rudely refused to let me board after I questioned why I had to check in my carry-on, which contained valuables. Despite explaining my concerns, he remained unreasonably inflexible. Thankfully, the captain intervened and retrieved my bag personally. This same staff member was also loud and disrespectful to several other passengers. Completely unacceptable service.

3 hour delay, very rude flight attendant the food was horrible.

There were a lot of hidden fees I paid extra for my luggage at JFK which was my leaving point and I also had to pay another extra at the Casablanca’s airport for my carry on and my backpack which is insane, when i refused to pay they threatened to call airport’s security on me. And they actually lost my luggage once I got to my destination. I seriously will not fly with this company anymore from now on and I advise you to do the same

Long delayed that cause missing my connection. Accommodation and food at the Casablanca airport was horrible

Good but your male staff should be more appreciative of customers. After all you are making a lot of monies from Nigerians.

Bad service in la RAM from beginning to end. The crew ladies are impolite and rude and insensitive to passengers requests. I do not recommend traveling with Royal Air Maroc (La RAM) - worst service.

Old aircraft with a terrible business class setup and poor connection experience in Casablanca. Strongly suggest you pay a bit more and fly a different airline.

when we ask for water or any help nobody care.. they are too arrogant

I thought it was great because the seats were really comfortable for the long flight. The food was just ok, and could have been a bit better.

Good food. Conscientious staff. That said they need more training on setting up the bassinet.

They should have better communication and dealings with their customer when their flight is delayed or canceled.

It was a nightmare of an experience. The station manager was very unprofessional dealing with an over 5 hour delay and even boarding the flight was a nightmare with 3 plane loads of passengers on other cancelled flights trying to push and shove to get in the one i boarded.

Smooth process. No delay. Need to improve the AC during boarding.
