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 $1,750. On the other hand, the most expensive day to fly is Friday, where round-trip prices are $2,019 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 Washington, D.C. Dulles Intl $1,318, from Atlanta $1,980
  • 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).

Connection flights should be spaced out farther because too close I missed my connection.

Definitely a southern flavor. Cordiality was evident even though no drinks or snacks were served.

On time! There were plenty of airport employees who were able to keep us moving in the right direction. The crew on the plane were professional.

Left /arrived on time. Decent seat space. Like the wifi/plugs and entertainment. Windows and tray table were kinda gross. Attendants didn't start snack service til 40mins before landing. Two rows before us, captain came on to say there's turbulence and recalled staff to seats. So, no drink/snack. Later, attendants didn't stop to see if we had trash nor even look our way. Felt invisible! Almost all pilot announcements were not only unintelligible, but so quiet. We had no idea what she said.

Average seat comfort, a drink and chips were provided, early boarding because we checked a carryon at the gate was nice. Ticket pricing shenanigans, including fees to pick a seat, check a bag, and get food onboard - evidence the industry is reinvigorating last century’s strategies- destroys the experience before one ever arrives at the airport. It’s difficult to recognize any value or sustain loyalty in the end-to-end process making air travel more drudgery than pleasure.

Gate agent was unhelpful for handicapped boarding. Flight attendant seemed untrained.

No service flight that took 5 hrs and a stop at an unscheduled airport. Crew and pilots did their jobs

Clean planes and not take my comfort class seat away.

The crew were efficient. The pilots seemed professional. It was a bit chilly in our seats. The sheet provided weren’t very helpful.

Weather caused a long delay, but the efficiency and updates from the pilot were helpful. We were able to make our connection fortunately.

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

My seat 3G did not go down fully and the buttons were not working properly

Food has been disappointing in both legs of flight to india

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

Excellent experience with business class area. Staff was attentive and food was amazing. Only one bathroom for business class which was logistically difficult for the staff while preparing meals. Need to offer fluids with meals. I did not get enough water to drink. But overall I rate it 5 star.

On time, great food, good drink selection! Only down was alcohol-free lounge. Lufthansa had a much better offering!

Be honest of what you sell: This was sold as Business Class on all three legs, while the JetBlue plane didn't even have business class seats, and wanted $164 for extra legroom seats.

Seat assignments for family traveling with 2 children. Loud crowd during sleep time

It was crowded… the bathrooms dirty and smelly. The seats have been made even smaller.

delayed to take off from detroit by 3 hours lost baggage in istanbul and now in venice without baggage

Seats were very tight with poor legroom - and I am average height. During the 12 hour flight, tiny paper cups of drinks we're only offered during the super and breakfast services, with the crew nowhere to be seen in between. One of the bathrooms was out of order, leading to long lines waiting to use the remaining two available to the economy class passengers.

short flight but we still got a very nice lunch and the crew did an excellent job in taking care of us

For that price on Business class, I expected to have the pod seats. These were configured as 2/3/2 and my seat mate talked half the flight with a friend across the isle, loudly. Very uncouth.

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.

Even through the flight was delayed due to storms near IAH The flight was great! The crew was so hospitable and professional

I flew from Santa Fe to Denver to catch a flight to London and the transfer of my luggage on arrival at Denver to the London flight worked perfectly. The crew on the ground and on board for the London flight were so friendly and efficient.

Boarded early; and arrived home 40 mins early. After a long flight, it’s nice to be back home early. These flights have no amenities; no snacks. So need to bring your own

Boarded early, left early, arrived 40 mins early! A win win for me!

New plane was lovely. Crew customer service is always lax but expected. Kraft on time and arrived safely.

These airplanes should be illegal. The seats are two tight, it is a safety issue. Wheelchair support was ridiculously slow. We almost missed our flight.

It was a short flight so I was expecting too much

Horrifying Almost 2 million miles. Bring your own food and drink. One coffee or drink every three hours. Have to order meals on app more than 24 hours ahead Tiny and dirty bathrooms

Flight was delayed but more than 90 minutes. This caused me to miss my available windows for pick-up by a friend. I had to pay $125 for an uber back home from the airport which was an added expense that I had not budgeted for my trip. Staff was friendly.

I felt scammed. The priced advertised was different than what I paid. I paid the whole some online. I then got a call 20 minutes later saying I need to paid 70 more person. She said the price online is not the guaranteed price.

Everything was great, the infotainment system was glitching but this was not a big deal.

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.

To the Ethiopian Airlines Customer Relations Team, I am writing to formally express my disappointment regarding my recent travel experience with Ethiopian Airlines on flight [I629/352] . Unfortunately, the level of service provided fell significantly short of the standards I expected from your airline. I would like to highlight the following serious issues encountered during the journey: • Cabin Condition and Hygiene: The aircraft cabin was notably poorly maintained. The seating area was dirty, and there was a persistent, unpleasant odor throughout the flight, which made the environment very uncomfortable for passengers. • Inadequate Service: The overall level of service provided by the staff was unsatisfactory and did not reflect a professional passenger experience. • Baggage Loss: Upon arrival, I was informed that my luggage was lost. This is particularly distressing as it has caused significant personal inconvenience and disruption to my schedule. As a frequent traveler, I value reliability and a clean cabin environment. I request that you investigate these matters immediately, provide an update on the status of my missing baggage, and outline how you intend to compensate for these failures in service. I look forward to your prompt response and a resolution to my lost luggage claim. Sincerely, Puguh

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”

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.
