FAQs - booking Nigeria flights

  • Are direct flights to Nigeria available?

    If you are looking for direct flights from the UK to Nigeria, there are a couple of options available. You can fly direct from London Heathrow (LHR) to Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (ABV) in Abuja with British Airways. It is also possible to fly direct from Heathrow to Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos with Virgin Atlantic. Both of these options take just over 6h. On most other flights from UK airports to Nigeria your journey will include at least one layover.

  • Do I need a visa to visit Nigeria?

    UK passengers must have a valid visa and a UK passport before travelling to Nigeria. You can apply for a visa in advance of your trip with the Nigeria High Commission. Your passport should also be valid for at least 6 months when you arrive in the country.

  • Is public transport available at Nigeria airports?

    Passengers arriving at Nigeria airports will find taxis available at the terminals. Taxi fares in Nigeria are usually affordable and are a good option for tourists who are unfamiliar with public transport networks. A taxi from Lagos Airport to Lagos city centre usually costs around ₦2,700 (£5) and takes around 20min. Meanwhile, a taxi from Abuja Airport to Abuja city centre costs around ₦4,900 (£9) and takes roughly 35min. Passengers arriving at Abuja Airport can also take the train to the city centre for around ₦1,000 (£2).

  • Where should I fly to if I want to visit multiple destinations in Nigeria?

    If you plan to visit multiple cities in Lagos, it is a good idea to fly to Abuja Airport and then take domestic flights from there. Abuja is centrally located, and Abuja airport offers cheap direct flights to many nearby cities, such as Enugu, Port Harcourt, and Asaba, that cannot be easily reached from the UK.

  • What are popular stopovers on flights from UK to Nigeria?

    Popular stopovers on flights to Nigeria include a transfer at Cairo Airport (CAI), with Egypt Air on journeys from Heathrow Airport (LHR) to Lagos Airport (LOS) and also from Manchester Airport (MAN) to Abuja Airport (ABV).

  • Is there internet on board flights from UK to Nigeria?

    If you need to work during your flight to Nigeria, you should look for an airline that offers internet. For instance, British Airways and Lufthansa provide Wi-Fi to passengers at an additional cost. In contrast, Royal Air Maroc provides free internet connectivity for wireless in-flight entertainment.

  • Which airports are hubs for airlines that fly to Nigeria?

    If you choose to fly with British Airways, you will benefit from the fact that its hub airport is Heathrow Airport (LHR). This means that you’ll enjoy more frequent direct flights to Nigeria, as well as lower cost fares.

  • How much luggage can you take on board flights to Nigeria?

On the same route, Air France allow one cabin bag and one checked item, whereas Ethiopian Air normally allows one item of cabin baggage on board. However, if you want a checked bag, you’ll need to pay more.

  • Are flights likely to cost more around Calabar Carnival?

    Calabar Carnival is an annual street party which is a month-long event taking place in December. If you plan to fly to Nigeria during these dates, you can expect to pay more for flights. Unless you need to travel in December, it’s better to fly on a different month for cheaper tickets.

  • Are flights likely to be more expensive during Ramadan?

    With a large proportion of Nigerians celebrating Ramadan, you can expect flight tickets to be more expensive during this holy month.

The food was great and the service and attitude was amazing!!

It was a great experience. The only thing I would have changed was that the bathrooms were never cleaned and they got very dirty.

Old airplanes small seats expensive tickets, not as expected overall and not comfortable according to the price

It was an OK flight with below mediocre service by their flight attendants

Wasted a lot of time trying to find the CDG lounge - it was not next to the connecting flight gate like the Air France staff said.

My experience was good overall, the quality of the food really decreased! There used to be a choice between meat and fish now it’s between chicken and pasta! In the choices of entertainment meditation has been added which is very good. Soft chair workout to improve blood circulation and avoid phlebitis should be added.

The only reason the overall rating wasn't "excellent" was due to problems in claiming luggage. The bags are delivered to the main area (Cinta 35) for domestic passengers, but to a DIFFERENT ROOM for international arrivees. After waiting 30 minutes, someone (who didn't appear to be from Air France or the airport) told us to go to another area. There we found our bags, which appeared to have been awaiting us for a while. We had to go through a bag check before leaving the airport. If we had been alerted to this possibility, or better yet, been to go directly to Cinta 34, we could have eliminated quite a bit of waiting.

I wish that the meal included a vegetable or even a salad instead of couscous! Why serve chicken with rice AND couscous? Service was good overall though a bit lacking in friendliness. Usually on air france I've been offered a glass of champagne before dinner, wine with dinner, and a digestif after dinner. We were only offered wine this time!

It was not Air France but Air Europa. But confusion over our checked luggage. Whether it was checked all the way to Tenerife or not. It was not. Had to line up again in Departures. At least our Sky Priority was honoured. Flight was fine.

My wife and I had a row to ourselves after moving seats. There were no TVs and you had to buy food. So we did nothing but had a quick nap. Flight was fine.

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.

The crew was excellent as ever on Virgin. The special meal was poor unfortunately. More significantly when we arrived at Manchester Airport there was no air bridge provided and we had to exit the plane down a rickety stair case. This is unacceptable for a transatlantic flight. Whilst I understand that this is the airport’s fault at the end of the day the airline is responsible for our transportation and needs to do something.

Super friendly and helpful staff, from check-in desk to cabin crew.

Following a paid seat upgrade for enhanced comfort, I encountered an unacceptable odor in my assigned area. It took three hours for the crew to relocate me, and the replacement seat was unacceptably close to the lavatory, offering no improvement.

Good overall. Cannot fault the airlines. I have had better entertainment systems before ie ice in Emirates but it was not too bad. Food was decent and staff were friendly.

I did not fly by vergin atlantic from bangalore to vasco da gama

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.

Miami airport needs more thorough signage. It was a long walk from my transport point to the check in desk,

Flight took off an hour late. Had to stay on the tarmac for half an hour after landing. Both annoying.

Comment for Lufthansa is just perfect, similar to my first flight comment.

food, movie entertainment upgraded current, interconnecting flights being on time, we have a 24-hour overlay

The flight was delayed by an hour. Made the connection uncomfortably tight.

When we went to the lounge they told us to go into the main lounge and not the full business class section, later they told me that Lufthansa wont pay the full fee to alloq the business class passengers entry to the nicer sectikn where all the other airlines nusiness class passengers go into. Very poor arrangement.

Not what I expected for the last leg of a $5100 business class experience. Boarding was a nightmare. The flight was delayed and I had to keep checking my email to ensure I was at the right gate since the airline or the terminal had no clue until 15 mins prior to boarding. Food was gross, limited drink options.

Flights scheduled with impossible connections - Lufthansa apparently believes it takes 7mins to change terminals, go through passport control, re-clear security and walk 1.8kms…..and everything will work perfectly (which it never does at Frankfurt). No staff on hand to assist with transfers on delayed flights. No transfer guidance provided by app. No compensation offered for 6hr delay to connecting flight.

Crew were friendly and very helpful Plane was clean and the legroom is standard. Overall a good flight, no complaints.

The plane was late and had not been cleaned prior to our flight from Frankfurt to LA, so we had to use bathrooms that were completely filthy and stank like hell. One of them eventually was even closed early on during the flight. It was a horrific experience.

The connection to LYON was very tight. The flight was nearly finished boarding when we got to the gate

Air Dolomiti personnel were very nice as ever. Got nicked for 80 euros for my bag; something I didn’t agree to when I booked… What’s up with that?

Experience with British Airways was hopeless and the response from ground staff after flight cancellation was hopeless

3/4 bags delayed and 1/4 damaged at the other end. Flight was freezing

On time. Clean. Efficient. Just what is required for the short hop.

this was a good experience from on time boarding and take off to early arrival. Comfortable seats became empty seat next to me.

Cancelled flight, limited information and chaotic rebooking and accommodation provision. Apathetic crew who were more interested in taking about their layover plans than remembering passengers orders and actually bringing them (after 3 reminders). To top it off, priority baggage checked in at The Wing (LHR’s first class checkin) was delivered last to the baggage belt.

The crew were good. The flight was on time. The entertainment choice was ok. But the food was bad, tasted and texture were awful.

After boarding we were waiting in the plane for more than one hour to take off without AC with very high temperature inside

The flight was an hour late leaving Heathrow. The food was mediocre. When we got to Austin, my husband’s luggage was missing. He filled out information at baggage claim. We are waiting to hear something. His name is Henry Jacob Braunig.

Only for BA because we had to get to Edinburgh at a certain time. Baggage lost, late boarding with only one person checking, again, our passports and boarding passes until the despatch controller had to step in to get us away. Will never fly BA again.

The food was very good and it came multiple times

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.
