FAQs - booking Nigeria flights

  • What are the visa requirements for Nigeria?

    Except for a handful of countries in West Africa, citizens of virtually every other country (except Kenya) will require a visa to enter Nigeria. Since the country does not allow electronic visas, you will have to apply in person at a Nigerian embassy or consulate near you.

  • Which airport is closest to Yankari National Park?

    Yankari National Park is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the entire country and is in Bauchi State in the northwest. Since Abuja Airport is more centrally located, it’s the closest major airport, but if you prefer an aerial view, then a flight from there to Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Airport (BCU) should prove interesting.

  • If I wish to visit Kogi State, which airport is better to use?

    Kogi State is where Nigeria’s two main waterways, the Niger and Benue Rivers, meet and is therefore a commercial fishing hub and a point of interest for visitors. Kogi State is a 2h drive from Abuja, but if you’re leaving Lagos, you may be able to get a local flight into Ajaokuta Airfield in Kogi.

  • I want to attend the Carniriv Festival. Is there an airport nearby?

    Carniriv Festival is the carnival in Nigeria and lasts for a week usually between mid-November and mid-December. Port Harcourt is the city where the carnival is held, so you can get a connecting flight out of Abuja or Lagos to Port Harcourt Airport if you wish to enjoy the festivities.

  • What are the passport and visa requirements for flying to Nigeria?

    U.S. citizens visiting Nigeria will need valid passports and visas to be allowed into Nigeria. The validity of the passport should be a minimum of six months from arrival. With an e-visa, you can stay in Nigeria for 30 days for each entry. You'll need an exit ticket showing you're leaving Nigeria before or on the last day of the maximum time allowed. Evidence of hotel booking must be provided when applying for a visa. You can purchase a Nigerian tourist visa for around $160 USD.

  • Can I find nonstop flights from the U.S. to Nigeria?

    Yes, there are a total of two flights to Nigeria that offer nonstop services. The only airline that offers the nonstop flights to Nigeria is Delta Airlines. The airline operates from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) and John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS). The nonstop flights to Nigeria are mostly from ATL, with JFK only offering these flights on certain days of the week.

  • Can I rent a car in Nigerian airports?

    Yes, you can find a local rental pickup location in and around airports near the rental car center. To rent a car, you will need a valid, complete driver's license in the identity of the main driver that has been held for at least one year. If you are a foreigner, you must present your International Driver's Permit and your local driving license. An extra document proves your identification. It might be a genuine ID with a photograph (national or international passport). You’ll also need credit card and a rental voucher that you have printed.

  • What are transport options from Abuja Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport (ABV) to the city center?

    Driving to the center of Abuja takes 45 minutes. The fastest and most pleasant way to get from Abuja Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport is via cab, and most airport cabs are not metered, so confirm fare with your driver before departure. The sole public transportation choices are light rail or bus — buses also run irregularly between the airport and the city.

  • How does KAYAK find such low prices on flights from the United States to Nigeria?

    KAYAK is a travel search engine. That means we look across the web to find the best prices we can find for our users. With over 2 billion flight queries processed yearly, we are able to display a variety of prices and options on flights from the United States to Nigeria.

  • How does KAYAK's flight Price Forecast tool help me choose the right time to buy my flight ticket from the United States to Nigeria?

    KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool uses historical data to determine whether the price for a flight from the United States to Nigeria is likely to change within 7 days, so travelers know whether to wait or book now.

  • What is the Hacker Fare option on flights from the United States to Nigeria?

    Hacker Fares allow you to combine one-way tickets in order to save you money over a traditional round-trip ticket. You could then fly from the United States to Nigeria with an airline and back with another airline.

  • What is KAYAK's "flexible dates" feature and why should I care when looking for a flight from the United States to Nigeria?

    Sometimes travel dates aren't set in stone. If your preferred travel dates have some wiggle room, flexible dates will show you all the options when flying from the United States to Nigeria up to 3 days before/after your preferred dates. You can then pick the flights that suit you best.

  • What is the cheapest day to fly to Nigeria?

    Based on KAYAK data, the cheapest day to fly to Nigeria is Thursday where round-trip tickets can be as cheap as $1,754. On the other hand, the most expensive day to fly is Friday, where round-trip prices are $2,069 on average.

  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest Nigeria flight deals.
  • No trip to Nigeria is truly completed unless you’ve visited Lagos. This megacity is the cultural and financial heart of the country and dominates the southern landscape. If you wish to discover its magic, plan your flight from the US to Nigeria to land at Murtala Mohammed Airport (MOS), also known as Lagos Airport, and begin your adventure there.
  • The Niger Delta is where West Africa’s mighty river, the Niger, flows out to the Gulf of Guinea and the Atlantic Ocean. Its principal city, Port Harcourt, is the vital artery of this oil producing region and is a short flight away from Lagos when you connect to Port Harcourt Airport (HRC).
  • Abuja is the nation’s capital and while not centrally located, does provide ready access to the interior states of Niger, Kaduna, Plateau and Nasarawa, which surround it. If your flight from the US to Nigeria terminates at Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport (ABV), otherwise known as Abuja Airport, you’ll be in the right spot to explore them.
  • The northern states of Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina, Jigawa and Yobe share a border with the country of Niger and are a fair distance away from Abuja, so you should use a regional airport to get you closer to the action. Sadia Abubakar III Airport (SKO) in Sokoto or Katsina Airport (DKA) are recommended for connecting flights from the capital.
  • The northeastern state of Borno looks out onto Lake Chad and shares a land border with both Chad and Niger. Thankfully, this remote region has Maiduguri Airport (MIU) in its capital city, so you can always get a connection there after your flight from the US to Nigeria if you wish to visit.
  • Murtala Mohammed International Airport (LOS) is the main international airport in Nigeria, located in the Nigerian city of Lagos, in the state of Ikeja. It is the busiest and one of the largest airports in Nigeria.
  • If you travel with pets in Nigeria, they can only enter the country as checked luggage or aviation cargo through Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos or Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (ABV) in Abuja.
  • If you're headed to the country's capital, Abuja, consider flying with British Airlines, Africa World Airlines, Air France, Air Côte d'Ivoire, Arik Air, or ASKY Airlines, to Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport.
  • Dana Air, ValueJet, Aero Contractors, Arik Air, Med-View Airline, Azman Air, Air Peace, and Ibom Air all use the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (LOS) as a hub.
  • If you are flying to Nigeria from the West Coast, John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in New York operates most flights from the U.S. to Nigeria Airport (LOS).

Flight delayed due to ground hold. Republic airways did a great job.

I missed the flight because the Minneapolis flight was 49 minutes LATE, and the Boise flight LEFT 24 minutes EARLY!

Our flight was delayed multiple times and then canceled at almost 1 in the morning. We are a family of 7, traveling with 5 young children. When the flight we were supposed to fly on finally arrived after waiting all day after an international flight into JFK we were informed our flight was in need of a copilot and once they located one we would take off. Then our flight was cancelled because the copilot was over his hours and they couldn't locate another. They knew before taking off from the previous location that the copilot would be unable to fly. They could have communicated the cancellation of the flight hours in advance. Once they cancelled and the pilot and copilot got off the flight, they joked about it. While there are understandably limits on flight time for pilots, they can still handle the situation in a professional manner. The late cancellation resulted in angry passengers that required police intervention in the airport. It also occurred so late and included other delta flights that after trying 15 different hotels, we were unable to secure a hotel room, they were all booked. No rental cars were available in the area either. We ended up staying in the airport with the 5 children. We made it home after 54 hours of travel with maybe 2 hours of sleep. Our luggage was lost and had to be claimed at the airport at our final destination. This was the worst trip I have ever taken and the worst airport I have ever spent time in. I met two individuals in the airport that were kind and helpful; Tonya Maingot Williams from the can we hel desk that worked to help get us rebooked and home, as well as provide us with care bags for our extended stay in the airport. The other individual was Danielle from Buffalo Wild Wings that was so very kind when we found a place to take our family we were traveling with to eat, all 11 of us and we were able to sit down together to enjoy a meal during such a stressful time.

My flight home from Knoxville, TN, included a layover in Atlanta. I boarded the aircraft in Zone 5 and although there was limited overhead space, I was able to put my 'backpack' style roller-bag above my seat. Unfortunately, due to continued bad weather, we had to deplane. There were many people who would have missed their connection, so they rebooked. When we were re-boarding, the gate agent welcomed zone 5 and then made an announcement: All roller-bags for zone 5 passengers and higher will need to be gate checked. I promptly pushed the telescoping handle in and held my bag like a backpack. I was able to bring it on board, which was a relief. Upon entering the aircraft it became apparent that there was easily 40% open overhead space. There were audible signs of angry passengers who felt duped into checking their bags when in fact there were noticeably LESS passengers on the aircraft and TONS of overhead space. I'm not sure what kinds of parameters are used to determine when to cut off roller-bags from being brought on board, but it seemed deceptive and underhanded to have so many people get stuck checking their bags when clearly there was ample room for at least one more zone.

Flight was delayed and then "they did not have time to load food". No snack or drink at all for 1.5 how flight. Somebody wasn't prepared.

No Internet, no backseat screen, no nothing. I bought a Delta ticket and ended up on American Airlines. How did that happen?

Very good seat and service. No complaints about the food. Take off delayed due to airport traffic

It is usually very pleasant. Good service for the price, international flights are even better

We never made it on this flight because we missed our connection due to o delayed flight from Jackson.

No wifi on the long haul flight, food was trash and no vegetarian meal options

Seating and zone. The minor I went with didn’t even seat close to me

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

We flew business class and it was impressive. So comfortable with delicious food and very attentive and polite staff. Will definitely fly Turkish airlines again.

To get to jet blue at JFK from any connecting flight you have to go through security again.

Amazing! One of the best kept secrets in air travel!

We fly Bussines class and we didn’t feel like it is. Out luggage didn’t arrive and we have to return again next day from our hotel to airport to get them. Still waiting. No information from Turkish airlines Very poor customer service I think booking through kayak it was wrong decision

Three screaming and crying children in business class made it very difficult to rest. The crew made no attempt to address the situation. I might as well have saved the money and flown economy. The parents were oblivious to the discomfort their children were causing. The lounge in Istanbul is wonderful, but did not make up for the misery on the flight. My business class seat power outlet was broken and I have a cpap. The crew couldn't fix it or move me to better seat. Fortunately , the passenger in front of me allowed me to plug into his power outlet.

Could have been better. Bag rechecking could have been eliminated. Gate location and direction need to be clearly stated.

I flew Business with my daughter and son. The service, friendliness of the staff and the comfort of the fully flat beds were phenomenal. Would definitely fly Turkish again soon.

Entertainment system is okay, flight attendants were ok. Leg space very narrow, I couldn’t get what I wanted to eat, dinner nor breakfast.

The boarding was not as organized as what I experienced in Houston. We were able to depart on time and landed in Lagos as scheduled.

I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the recent flight experience I had with your airline. This has been one of the worst travel experiences I have ever encountered, and I feel compelled to bring it to your attention. Firstly, I missed my flight due to what I perceive to be a lack of clear communication and coordination on the part of your staff. There was no remorse or apology from the airline's representatives, which further exacerbated the situation. As a result of missing my flight, I was subjected to a 24-hour delay at the airport, where I had to spend a significant amount of money to rent a hotel room and cover other incidental expenses. Additionally, since my baggage was already checked in from Tanzania to Turkey, I had to purchase essential items for the 24-hour period. What truly dismayed me, however, was the discourteous and unprofessional attitude of your staff. Their lack of empathy and understanding only added to the stress and inconvenience of the situation. I have been traveling abroad for over 20 years, and I can confidently say that this experience has been the worst I have ever encountered. As a result, I am compelled to reconsider ever using your airline again for future travel. I strongly urge you to address the issues I have raised and take immediate steps to rectify the situation. Additionally, I expect a formal apology and a refund for the expenses I incurred due to the airline's negligence. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to your prompt response.

It was extremely hot in the cabin the entire flight, vent air was worn

The Wi-Fi did not work, so you weren't able to watch entertainment on your own device. They did not have wired headphones so you couldn't watch it on the in-seat entertainment screen either. There was plenty of time to do a drink and snag service but the flight attendants chose not to.

Great experience, boarding was fast and efficient, so much so that we arrived to Chicago very early

Comfortable seating POS to IAH. Food options were satisfactory. Good seat from IAH to ANC. Food options could be better.

The flight did not have its customary snacks during the flight. Apparently they were never loaded on the plane.

Flight was delayed 5 hours. Updates kept changing. Sears were extremely cramped. Very little leg room. Flight attendant was rushing through with drinks and hit me in the knee either the cart and didn’t apologize. They gave a 15 dollar voucher in airport which doesn’t buy. Much and it was so late that choices were limited.

I bought this ticket for my daughter. She had to pay for her carry on bag to be checked. My understanding is that transatlantic flights included carry on and personal item The nickeling and diming fo legacy carriers has stooped to an all time low. So sad.

The only thing concerning was the delay. Otherwise, it was ok.

First, the bathroom was horrible. 2 bathroom stalls at a gate and no soap to wash our hands. We were sitting at the gate for an hour before they decided to check our particulars. The line was long. Boarding was chaotic. Once we boarded, we were put on the bus in the rainy and forced to stand like sandwiches in the bus. All this occurred on Christmas Day.

No comfort, local flights chair in use on international flight, food wasn’t nice.

It was a great experience for my first time flying with this airline. I will be flying with them a lot more now. Plane crew was amazing.

The flight was very smooth, however, the quality of food was mediocre.

The TV wasn't working No music for the whole flight from JFK to LOS It was too burring.

Flight was delayed by two hours. This really messed things up because I missed my connecting flight in Addis. I had a meeting in Entebbe which was scrapped because my flight from Addis landed later in the day.

I paid for internet that did not work and had to pay more to have it

The crew was unfriendly and very rude to name a few (Helina). I felt unsafe due to most of the cabinets were open while on flight. All in all the flight was ok, but the crew needed more training on customer service most of all for international flights.

Delay not posted, only departure time listed- not boarding time. We left an hour late and arrived 45 min late. Restrooms had backed up sinks and toilets not flushed ) passenger error). Lots of screen for entertainment didn’t work. But we arrived with our luggage

The plane was old and the luggage racks above us were visibly shaking during turbulence. Water was dripping on our heads during landing. Our flight was over 2 hours late departing but we were not updated or told what to expect as the screen at the gate continued to read “on time”

The boarding area was too small with only one agent checking passengers into their standing bus

The check in staff was amazing. Best customer service! The plane was old! My entertainment on the first flight didn't work at all, in my seat or in the seat next to me. The bathroom doors were old and troublesome. One of the bathrooms, the whole sink panel was broken. Everything felt old and falling apart. The airline stewardesses were amazing and quite hospitable. When there were delays, they kept us well informed. Transit was GREAT! I wasn't sure how I would make it to my next flight in 1 1/2 hours but the security lines were short and efficient. The C gates in Addis Ababa were CROWDED! That whole space downstairs was too crowded and challenging to manuever. I usually fly Ethiopian within Africa and was interested to see how the experience would be intercontinental. Overall, I would choose it again if it was cheaper than Delta/Air France or Lufthansa/KLM. I wouldn't make it a first choice if the prices were the same because the planes are so old! The food and entertainment also weren't as good. Good selection of movies but as I mentioned, on the first flight they didn't work at all (I slept so it was okay) and the 2nd flight it was glitchy. All in all, I didn't hate it but it would be a first choice only if it's cheaper.
