Finding cheap flights to Lagos
Lagos is West Africa's biggest city and one of the UK's busiest routes to Africa. Non-stop flights leave Heathrow and Gatwick daily.
Flights from UK airports to Lagos
We book flights to Lagos from London Heathrow, London Gatwick, Manchester and Birmingham. Flying from your nearest airport can save the trip to London, and we compare it with London fares so you can see the difference.
Arriving in Lagos
Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS) is in Ikeja, on the mainland. Getting to Victoria Island or Lekki can take one to two hours in traffic, so many travellers arrange a trusted pick-up before they land.
Direct and one-stop flights
British Airways and Virgin Atlantic fly non-stop from Heathrow, and Air Peace has flown from Gatwick. One-stop fares through Istanbul, Casablanca, Paris or the Gulf can be cheaper, especially at peak times, and work from Manchester and Birmingham too.
Baggage allowance
Baggage matters on this route. Some fares include two checked bags and some include one, even on the same airline. Tell us what you need and we will compare the total price including any extra bags.
Best time to fly to Lagos
December is the busiest month, with families travelling for Christmas and New Year, and seats sell out early. Easter and the UK summer holidays are also busy. Late January to March is usually cheaper and drier.
Visas and entry
British passport holders need a visa for Nigeria, which should be arranged before you travel through Nigeria's official immigration service. You may also need a yellow fever vaccination certificate. Entry rules can change, so check the GOV.UK foreign travel advice before you book and again before you fly.
Tips for booking
December is the peak month for visiting family, and seats sell out early. Tell us your baggage needs and we will find the best allowance.
