Planning a journey to Lagos or Abuja? Get personal help comparing arrival airports, baggage and fare conditions, so the flight fits your plans and the people waiting for you.
West Africa · Family visits & meaningful journeys
Lagos is selected. Change to Abuja or tell us your final destination.
Before you book
Start with where you need to arrive
Lagos (LOS) and Abuja (ABV) are different gateways, not interchangeable airport terminals. Tell us your final city and whether you have an onward domestic flight. Compare the cost, time and arrangements for the complete journey before choosing your arrival airport.
Build the quote around your baggage
For a family visit, the suitcase allowance can matter as much as the headline fare. Tell us the number of bags and their expected weight. Ask for the allowance on every flight, including any separately booked domestic journey and your return to the UK.
Check advice for your full itinerary
The FCDO advises against travel to some parts of Nigeria, so review the current regional advice for every place you will visit. Check entry documents for each traveller and arrange a clear airport collection plan. Keep the flight number and terminal details with your itinerary.
Questions and answers
Can you compare Lagos and Abuja for me?
Yes. Tell us your final destination and whether both airports are practical for you. We can compare available flights; factor your onward transport and current regional travel advice into the final choice.
Can you look for flights with more checked baggage?
Tell us what you need to carry and we can prioritise suitable fare options. More baggage is not automatic on a Nigeria route. We confirm the included allowance and any additional cost before you decide.
What if my family needs different return dates from Nigeria?
Include everyone's travel dates and ages in your request. We can check the available booking arrangements and explain how differing return dates affect fares and conditions, including any parts of the journey travelled separately.
How do I get a current flight price?
Send your route, dates, travellers and baggage needs. Our team checks available options and explains the total fare and key conditions before you decide. No payment is needed to request a quote; fares and availability can change until ticketing.
