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 $1,384, from Washington, D.C. Dulles Intl $1,449
  • 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).

We departed and landed early which was a nice surprise. The boarding process was slow.

N Everything was perfect from boarding to assistance to baggage in Tampa

Subpar. The seating on the plane is almost unbearable. We are literally touching and/or sitting on each other which is totally unacceptable and shameful. Pilots and crew was very accommodating and friendly.

The boarding was organized and informative but the plane was tight meaning that you were sitting on one another and extremely uncomfortable. It’s disappointing that can’t have common seating comfort on the plane.

Loved the crew! Sucks that we went from 1 hour and 8 minute layover to a 3 hour layover. But weather sucks like that.

I was told that they needed to check my bag at the gate and to pick it up at the gate in Richmond. No big deal. I know they can't control the weather, but we flew around RIC for 45 minutes to avoid the storm and were 25 minutes late leaving as well. Once we landed, we were told to go to baggage claim to pick up our luggage. I went to bathroom, paid for parking, and went to the assigned baggage claim location. United flight people came down with us as well. They got their luggage immediately. Next, South West people came down about 10 minutes later. They got their luggage next. We finally got our luggage around 30 minutes in waiting. Was not a wonderful experience. No reflection on Delta, but the ground crew was lousy at best.

Everything could have benn better. Short fly, no food, no entertainment and no wifi.

Flight delayed. Air broken. Cabin was hot enough to pass out. Delta shuttle’s becoming worse and worse.

my mom urmila patel needed a wheelchair which was not available on the curbside. she needed to walk almost 50 meters inside (at the risk of falling) and then had to wait in line to get a wheelchair (this is not ok). Once obtained she had to seat in it for 30-45 minutes for someone to take her in thru the checkin process (which was fairly smooth and easy). the lady who helped her with her checkin process was very courteous and helpful

On the return flight, flight attendant Britt went out of her way to inform passengers that several of us had tight connections.

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 flight was officially delayed 3 times, and was actually later than that. Combined, it was a 3 hour delay, but there was no recognition (miles, voucher, etc). The crew seemed stressed. The captain sounded nervous in his announcements. The flight itself was smooth and uneventful.

United didn’t even try to hold the flight for me. They knew I had a tight connection and when I arrived at the gate less than 10 mins after final boarding the flight had already gone. The gate agent wasn’t even notified that I was on my way. She was told I wasn’t at the airport

Great until we got to FRA. The next trip leg we were put in Business Class where seats had minimal padding!!!! They were awful and United Airlines needs to have their Lufthansa partner up their game or I won’t fly with them again!!

I had a good time. However, I paid for the wifi and it was in and out the whole flight.

one staffer was frustrated (it happen); the flight was late and the pilot mentioned they'll make amend but the snacks were the same, other than that the aircraft was clean and everything went smooth, no complaints

The wheelchair service is useless. They live you in different spots, not tell you anything just wait. I waited 30 minutes in Frankfurt when decided to walk the 25 minutes distance. In Budapest nobody came.

It was perfect! I've never flown with United before, but I definitely will in the future

I had a cancelled flight because of technical issues going to my destination, and a delayed flight coming home. All told it wasn’t a total bust.

Just a bad day to fly. Flight was delayed from scheduled 6:50 pm departure to 8:50 pm. Combination of factors mostly related to weather at the destination airport (which is where the incoming flight originated) which delayed the inbound flight over an hour. Once on board, we taxied but had to hold again on the taxiway for 10 minutes or so. We did not get wheels up until after 9 pm. The flight was smooth but about 18 minutes from our destination, we had to hold for several minutes more due to weather at ORD. We finally landed at ORD about 11:08 pm (accounting for the time difference, that was about a 3 hour delay from our scheduled departure time). It felt like we were never going to get to our destination. But the flight crew and attendants were very good. The movie selection onboard was also very nice. Got to watch half of a movie just during our taxi from the gate at ATL due to the delay!

Fine. The issues I had were associated with luggage being delayed from Turkey to Tanzania

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.

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.
