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 Tuesday where round-trip tickets can be as cheap as $1,591. On the other hand, the most expensive day to fly is Friday, where round-trip prices are $1,822 on average.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Nigeria

  • Looking for cheap airfare to Nigeria? 25% of our users found round-trip tickets to Nigeria for the following prices or less: From Atlanta $1,337, from Washington, D.C. Dulles Intl $1,347
  • 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).

Arlene was a great flight attendant. I also liked how one of the other flight attendants gave us a heads up about snacks and asked everyone to remove their headphones when it was their turn to order. Good idea.

Arlene was a great flight attendant. I also liked how one of the other flight attendants gave us a heads up about snacks and asked everyone to remove their headphones when it was their turn to order. Good idea.

Long flight but comfortable and not freezing as I have experienced on Hawaiian flights to the islands. They gave us blankets just in case. Nice touch.

I haven’t flown economy in over 20 years but it was not bad. Room by my feet for my bag and seat was roomy enough. Surprised in a good way.

The flight was delayed 90 minutes The Gate was wrong The Restroom on Aircraft was not clean There was a half used water bottle in my seat

Delta is always a wonderful experience. A clean plane and the crew is really friendly.

Too many people are taking up space in the overhead bins with their extra piece of luggage. Since they cannot fit their backpacks or extra luggage piece under the seat in front of them, they store it in the overheads and thus taking up room for other passengers. It wasn’t only one or two persons; more like 12 or 13 passengers.

Excellent service, I love the soft blush pink mood lighting on the 767-400ER during meal service. The overhead gasper vents on the 767-400ER were also very strong with a lot of airflow to keep me comfortable on my flight.

This was the worse experience. They delayed our flight twice and we still had to find another flight to get home sooner which was alos delayed. Also, the flight attendant named Ginny on DL9890 leaving at 4:13pm on 3/23/26 was extremely rude.

I love Delta the flight attendants were personable and the flight arrived 1/2 earlier thanks expected. All a plus. The gate agent was a bit flustered but even with that I still had a good experience. Her supervisor assisted me.

Got to fly my favorite plane, the Boeing 767-400ER, to Milan. The soft blush pink mood lighting during meal service was very beautiful and gorgeous. The service was top-notch, and our flights were on time. I highly recommend Delta.

Flight was delayed. While standing at the gate, a note appeared on the sign saying the gate had changed to a gate far away. No member of the Turkish airlines team got on the microphone to instruct passengers to go to the other gate, to ignore the chiron, etc. Finally, the message disappeared. Eventually, the flight began to board. Very slowly. More slowly than I experience with other airlines. Though Istanbul may just be slow . . . In all other ways, great flight, great entertainment (top notch movies), great service, excellent food, comfortable lie-flat seat, dimmed lights, etc.

Staff at the airport wasn't helpful or friendly. Probably the worst airport experience I have ever had, going and coming. The staff on the plane was better. Still not super friendly or personable. However, they were not rude like airport staff. They ran out of certain menu items. Maybe could have been prepared better? Overall just ok.

It was a pleasant experience. In flight entertainment could have been better

The desk crew at the LAX crew could do better. A girl named Mahesi was very abrasive and unfriendly. She needs a better customer service uproar.

It was peaceful excited We enjoyed it always Turkish peaceful excited

Istanbul to Lahore flight was less than standard for international business class cabins. Seat did not were not flat and it did not operate easily. I had to push buttons hard repeatedly to operate the seat. I was in 5A seat

IAH to Istanbul was outstanding across the board. The flight from Istanbul to Male was good, not great.

the cabin was kept too hot. couldn't sleep as a result

It was an amazing experience. Flight crew's service, hospitality, and the food were phenomenal. I don't think I'd want to try any other airline company after this. I would definitely recommend to friends and family. Thank you Turkish Airlines !

Business Class pods are horrible. If you're petite, you might be able to sleep on the uncomfortable seat and bed. Crew and food are fantastic.

No meal service to the back of the plane as it started late or was too slow to get it out before it was time to land.

Terrible, if possible won't be flying again anytime soon!

Efficient boarding and early departure. Very smooth flight. Early arrival in ATL. Great flight.

We purchase first class seats for the first time for multiples of standard economy ticket. There was no access to the club lounge and no priority boarding. The meal and the service once on the plane were superior and the seat was nicer, but not worth the price difference. I will be happy to seat in economy and spend the difference on more travel.

The business class seat is exceptional. I wish the food is more palatable.

Wonderful in-seat entertainment with seatback screens and huge selection of quality movies. The ability to bluetooth connect headphones was amazing.

the entire flight felt off. The crew seemed uninterested and disengaged. The food service was really bad - overcooked, bland, weird food service. They actually woke us up to serve chicken wraps in the middle of the night, after dinner and before breakfast. Made no sense. Ultimately, I was glad they did though, because the breakfast had been held for so long it was inedible. Eggs, potatoes, sausage - all disgusting. We were asked to "honor" the lavatories for premium customers and stay in our own cabin: this was also strange. So people in economy didn't pay enough to use the closest toilet to them??? It's a toilet. All in all, not the experience I have come to expect from United Airlines. The return flight from Paris to SFO was better, btw.

Smooth and easy boarding, comfortable for the entire 5 hour flight, and the seat back entertainment was great! I appreciated all the features, from location info and maps, movies, the ability to connect with Bluetooth headphones, and good selection of movies. Food was good, normal airline snacks (I didn’t purchase anything)

Overall, the flight was good. Lounge access should be with all business class tickets.

They promise free wi-fi prior to boarding and then once on board you are informed you have to purchase wifi even after being a mileagePlus member.

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

A bit chaotic boarding flight but over all good experience.

The crew were amazing. They should improve the inflight entertainment

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”

Check in took over an hour because printer was not working. Attendant did not know how to give free layover Addis Ababa hotel vouchers or update frequent flyer number. After repeated attempts, got voucher emailed. However hotel wanted printed voucher hence more delay. Bus time from hotel back to airport was printed 4:50 hours, but hotel reception called at 3 pm saying bus will leave at 4 pm. Then hotel reception called again saying 4:15 pm. We rushed at 4:15 pm and bus was not ready until 4:40 pm. Many audio outlets were not working in planes.

Need to do a lot of improvement on service and cleaness

Our first flight was delayed and when we got off that plane, nobody was really helping to direct us to the next gate. It was very frustrating. One staff simply said hurry, which wasn’t helpful. We had to go a long way to get to the next gate. Another issue on the plane itself was the bathrooms were disgusting and filthy and it didn’t seem like anybody was checking on them were cleaning them and it was a long flight. There was urine on the floor and they stunk. Also, the screen in front of my seat did not work, and I tried different headphones and still had no sound. You would think somehow those things are reviewed occasionally for working order.

They only gave us 30 minutes to make an international connecting flight. We didn’t make the connection but they did do a good job rebooking us despite the chaos. Our bags didn’t make it back and their process for customer support is pretty bad when it comes to luggage.

The Airline canceled my flight and don’t want to refund me.

My luggage was left behind in Miami. I wasn’t the only one. I couldn’t get a boarding pass from air Maroc but I got one from American Airlines for the air Maroc leg. I had the sense of getting in line with air Maroc boarding crew and showed them my AA boarding pass for air Maroc and I got a new one from them. There were several passengers filing missing bags reports in Casablanca so I assume there isn’t a good coordination between airlines. My AA bag ticket says Casablanca but it is from AA. I wasn’t the only one missing a bag.

I couldn’t find my boarding pass with the information provided by Underpricer. It took me several hours to find what the issue was. Finally I got the right code to get my boarding pass from American Airlines. Underpricer WhatsApp call center finally got it right. When I got to Casablanca my luggage was left in Miami. Not sure which airline fault it was if Air Maroc or AA. I filled out a report with Air Maroc

Flight was late, economy seats are uncomfortable, and there is no entertainment. Food looked good, although I did not eat as it was Ramadan. Flight crew competent and professional. Ticket was not good value for money. Too expensive.

Had problems with online site and app when trying to book flight and manage reservations. My in-flight console did not work and seat did not recline. Staff could not provide details with respect to short connection. Fortunately a fellow passenger was helpful. Otherwise good flights, on-time departures/arrivals, etc.

Horrible. Flight was overbooked and I was put on a flight to Miami without a leg to my final destination. And Kayak is not helping resolve the problem

I would like to praise one of the stewards, Mohamed, who was swift and efficient to help me as I was not feeling well at some point during the flight.

Food quality was low for business class. No snacks between meals. Very confusing “One World” participation. This airline seems to be part of the program but doesn’t recognize the benefits to customers (luggage allowance)???

There is nothing Royal about Royal Air Maroc. Old planes, poor service, no entertainment and not one of my 4 flights was on time.

Improve food quality and clean the seat . Bathrooms not clean
