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 $1,703. On the other hand, the most expensive day to fly is Friday, where round-trip prices are $1,990 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 $1,426, from Atlanta $1,523
  • 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).

Very old plane with no inflight entertainment. I purchased the internet pass and it was nearly unusable.

Very old plane with no inflight entertainment. I purchased the internet pass and it was nearly unusable.

My tray was broken so i had no place to work or eat except my lap. Flight attendant said I would get an email with some credit or miles, it was a complete waste of time as I could only function at about 20% of normal. I have not received anything yet.

Short trip, no food and therefore no expectation for much interaction with staff who were pleasant and professional. My critique is on comfort of the seats. Exit rows and comfort seats do not provide enough personal space for 3 side-by-side seats, especially when in the middle row. Some passengers are not considerate of the middle seat and there should be signs that state something to the effect of: "please consider giving middle seats use of the armrests."

My flight yesterday evening was delayed 3.5 hours with no water or food service. Poor experience

Transparency from pilots, quick boarding and exiting the plane, staff greeted to each and everyone,

Didn't like sitting on the waiting pad for 30 minutes right after departing the gate. If you're going to do that, just don't board so people can still get up and walk around in the terminal. My luggage was damaged by the baggage handlers.

Pilots lied about waiting on “paperwork”. Sat in the plane for over an hour, waiting on some papers to be printed according to the pilot and then all of a sudden he says good news maintenance is finally on their way. Maybe they can fix it before we get our paperwork. Ended up missing my connection in LaGuardia and as a result, had a fly home to Lexington instead of the Louisville airport. Then paid $100 to uber to Louisville since it was midnight by the time I got in. I wish they would just be transparent with passengers sometimes and not try to beat around the bush on why things are delayed.

The WiFi was horrific. I fly delta often and love their (usually reliable and free) WiFi. On this flight it was intermittent and when it did connect was extremely slow. I couldn’t get any work done while I was on the flight which was extremely frustrating. I was also in the exit row seat where there is now immediate seat in front of you, so while the leg room was nice, I couldn’t even watch the TV when the internet wasn’t working. Finally, for the last 20 mins of the flight, the announcement indicator came on the TV screens and took them over, even though no announcement was being made. Really disappointed.

The flight was way too HOT! And the plane did not have any in-flight TV entertainment.

Boarding was good. The flight was on time ( arrival was 20 minutes early). Inflight service was average ( US airlines have not mastered the skills of customer service yet). The food was mediocre. “ breakfast “ was downright awful and insulting. It was a piece of dough with mon descript filling that was supposed to be cheese omelette).

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

The seats seems abit small and the reclining is too much, the seat in front of me came back too much and made it uncomfortable for me.

As a first time flyer with Turkish Airlines. My experience was very good due to the factor that there were to many passengers on the my first flight compared to my connecting flight. However, I know that nothing is perfect and all companies are trying to accommodate their passengers to the best way possible. I will always say, a FEW INCHES will go LONG WAY. That's something all airliners should consider, and not only the money aspect!!! A long time commitment is better than one time service! Thank you

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

The entertainment options on the seat back video boards were nice.

The flight I was supposed to be on was supposed to take off at 1:50 from State College. It was delayed over and over and over again until somehow I had to rebook on a flight that was supposed to have left State College at 8 am that morning but didn't end up taking off until almost 6 pm. Not only was this completely unacceptable, the "token from United" was a 15 dollar meal voucher that has to be used by today. I would personally like some miles added to my account for this inconvenience. I was in transit for 8 hours from the time I arrive at State College Aiport to when I got home. I was supposed to be home at 3 pm and I returned at 8 pm. Unacceptable. I have not been on an on Time united flight in nearly 5 years.

Crew was friendly. Seats are too narrow, particularly when a big person is in the adjacent seat, but I understand this is due to smaller planes usually flight into Lincoln. I have experienced several flight delays going out and coming into Lincoln airport, I say maybe 50% or higher of the flights I've taken out of this airport have been delayed.

newer aircraft, ability to connect my headset via blue tooth for entertainment.

Great flight. Boarded efficiently. Arrived early at CLT. There was no in flight entertainment on this aircraft. Great crew.

Due to cancellation of connecting flight (Lufthansa) I didn’t fly with United

The seat was comfortable. There was a lot of turbulence. If it weren't for that,it would have been okay.

It was a red-eye, but the flight felt surprisingly quick. The seats were very comfortable, and that made resting much easier. I also want to thank the gentleman seated next to me, who graciously moved so my mom could sit beside me. We slept almost the entire way. The cabin crew was respectful in not disturbing us, while also being courteous and professional throughout. Thank you, United.

Packed in plane small uncomfortable seats elbow to elbow nobody wants to be in that situation for the money they paid

Vegetarian selection could be better. Bread was too hard to chew.

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

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.
