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.

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.

Great staff great experience, made a 2 hour delay very bearable

Great staff, great experience, made a 2 hour delay very bearable

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

I was my pleasure to fly virgin on my birthday for my first solo trip ever 🫶🏼

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.

Overall, flight was excellent but check in was very slow for Premium Economy. Economy queue was shorter but we weren't allowed to use it.

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

Great crew - old style upper class seats on the older fleet now feels dated

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.

Paid for exit row at the back of the plane. Window seat with lots of leg space. Food was inedible (as usual). Brought my own.

Efficiency of staff, and comfort and cleanliness of aircraft was all great. Maybe a hot drink without payment at that time in the morning would be good!

They don’t give information on why a flight is delayed in a timely manner. Very frustrating.

The plane was late (as was my flight out from Birmingham the day before)

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.

I’m glad the bus waited for me to connect me to my next flight since we were delayed. Flight was good.

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.

We always use BA due to the direct flight options, we have always had a pleasant flight with BA.

There might be more food options for people who can't eat so much starch/sugar/bread/rice. Meat, cheese, walnuts/pecans for snack, maybe jerky or other kinds of meat-based snacks would be better than bread and rice and sweets. I had an extra chardonnay, which was fine. The entertainment was great.

Unfortunately, my flight was cancelled because of some sort of emergency over the Atlantic and had to return to London. While I think British Airways made every effort to mitigate the situation, I must say it was still pretty unpleasant. I do appreciate the fact, however, that British Airways put my safety first…and I think the effort to correct a bad situation was very sincere. But I think the process might be handled better in future.

Horrible leg room - coach seating with empty seat in middle on a 3 across seating. You buy business class for comfort which includes leg room. Absolutely no entertainment options either. Awful experience

Flight was 3h50 and was only provided with a packet of oat cookies and offered a cold drink. Thankfully i'd had breakfast but for a morning flight of that length some sort of breakfast should be included. There were 2 toilets for economy but due to turbulence we couldn't use them until the last 1hr which meant the queue was then huge. Would've been nice to open up the business one for those closest to the front to use.

Crew service was poor and very little difference between premium economy and economy. Disappointed.

My bags never made it on the flight and I now have to wait for them to arrive hopefully tomorrow. You can’t even track your bags in the app to see where they are since they didn’t arrive. You have to file a claim and then wait for them to inform you when you will receive your bag. We were already delayed for an hour due to baggage so I don’t understand how my bag didn’t make the flight.

One of the worst experience given the middle seat even asked for the change no one honored,boarded at the end and overall one of the worst experience

No WiFi in either flight. No leg room, the seat in front of me left dents on my knees and the tray was so low my knees propped it up if I tried to use it.

No WiFi working on either flight. No leg room at all, the seat in front of me left dents in my knees. If I put the tray down, it was so low it was propped up by my knees. (I’m only 182.9 cm) I’m usually cool on planes, but the planes were both hot during taxi and take-off.

the whole flight is bad from Miami to Casablanca and from casablanca to Miami. Delays, service, food, .... Not flying again with this airline

Intersting crew: only men with a bit of roughness. The food was not bad, but there´s no alcohol option

The food was disappointing, and the airplane appeared old, with torn seats. Royal Air Maroc could definitely do better.

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.

Awful. Seats on this Dreamliner really uncomfortable with broken tables. No food selection availability in business class. Poor service. No engagement senior flight attendant spent more time applying make up then speaking to her guests. It appeared that the right side received a different level of service to the left when there were only 8 people. Worst flight I have ever had. A great way to ruin an outstanding two week with this return flight

Flights were okay. Not bad, not good. On time and efficient. Planes are a bit old and run down, even the 787... Casablanca airport, HORRIBLE. no air conditioning, no power outlets, no clear signs to anywhere, old, unfriendly, no restaurants to speak of. Casablanca lounge, HORRIFIC No seats available most of the time, no power outlets working, no food, only water is offered, 1 shower available, unfriendly and inneficient people, no air conditioning, flies and bugs everywhere, extremely old seats and unconfortable. Although with some cleaning crew present, toilettes are .... not too clean.

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

Wait time was very long during boarding. We had to wait a while in the bus which was under the sun.

When the flight landed, it was still going towards the gate, when everybody got up. Nobody cared that the flight was still in "active taxi" mode. But seems like this is common on Air Maroc flights.

1. Boarding - Chaotic, no announcements. 2. Gate Agents - Don't care about anything. 3. Inflight - FA are good and cordial. 4. Landing - Everybody is in a rush to get out because of the crowding at immigration.

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.
