Flying to Lagos rewards travellers who plan ahead. Book eight to twelve weeks out for the best fares, and lean toward November through January when the weather is drier and the city is at its most electric. The airport arrival experience requires patience, but the city that greets you on the other side is worth every minute of the queue. Best suited to cultural explorers, business travellers, and the Nigerian diaspora returning home.

What works well

  • Afrobeats capital
  • Great food scene
  • Strong flight links
  • Rich cultural offer

What to watch

  • Book 8+ weeks ahead
  • Visa check required
May is the month to watch, with fares dipping to USD 480 before the diaspora crowds pile back in for July, August and December. This is West Africa's busiest hub for a reason: London, Dubai and Paris all land here directly, none of them under six hours but all of them worth it. CredPal, Klarna and Clearpay will spread the cost, which helps given Victoria Island's hotels don't come cheap. Sort your visa paperwork before you join the immigration queue at Murtala Muhammed, and thank us later.

When to Book Flights to Lagos

November through January is the sweet spot for Lagos: the harmattan wind keeps humidity lower, skies are clearer, and the city is buzzing around the festive season. Avoid booking for late July and August without planning well ahead — peak summer demand from the diaspora pushes fares noticeably higher. The cheapest fares typically appear in May and early June.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions about Flights to Lagos

Everything you need to know before booking your Lagos flight on Laters.

Which airlines fly direct to Lagos from London?

British Airways and Virgin Atlantic both operate non-stop flights between London Heathrow and Lagos Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS). Flight time is typically around 6 hours 30 minutes. You can compare fares and availability from both carriers on Laters.com.

What is the cheapest month to fly to Lagos?

May and June are generally the cheapest months to fly to Lagos, when the rainy season reduces leisure demand and fares dip to their lowest. Booking 8-10 weeks in advance during this window typically yields the best one-way prices, often starting around USD 480 from London.

Can I pay for flights to Lagos in instalments on Laters.com?

Yes. Laters.com supports several BNPL providers for Lagos flights, including CredPal for Nigerian travellers, and Klarna or Clearpay for travellers booking from the UK and Europe. Simply select your preferred provider at checkout, get instant approval, and receive your e-ticket immediately.

Does using BNPL for flights affect my credit score?

This depends on the provider. Most BNPL providers run a soft credit check for initial approval, which typically does not affect your credit score. However, missed payments may be reported to credit agencies. Always read the terms of your chosen provider before confirming.

Do I need a visa to travel to Nigeria?

Visa requirements for Nigeria vary significantly by nationality. Nigeria offers an e-visa and a visa-on-arrival scheme for eligible passport holders, but not all nationalities qualify. Check the official Nigeria Immigration Service website (immigration.gov.ng) well before your travel date for the most current requirements.

How do I get from Lagos airport to the city centre?

Murtala Muhammed International Airport is roughly 22 km from Victoria Island. The most reliable options are pre-booked Bolt or Uber rides, which typically cost NGN 4,000-8,000 depending on traffic. Official airport taxis are available at the kerb but tend to charge more. Lagos traffic can be severe, so allow 45-90 minutes for the journey.

What is the best time of year to visit Lagos?

November through January is widely considered the best period to visit Lagos. The harmattan season brings drier air and clearer skies, temperatures are more comfortable, and the city is at its most festive around the end-of-year period. Avoid the peak rainy season between June and September if outdoor activities are a priority.

How long is the flight to Lagos from Dubai?

Non-stop flights from Dubai to Lagos take approximately 7 hours 10 minutes. Emirates operates a daily direct service on this route, making it one of the most popular connections for travellers from the Gulf and for onward journeys from Asia via Dubai.

Are there hidden fees when booking on Laters.com?

Laters.com charges zero booking fees on flight searches. The fare you see when comparing options is the fare you pay, with any applicable taxes shown clearly before you confirm. BNPL providers may have their own terms, so reviewing the instalment agreement before checkout is always advisable.

When will I receive my e-ticket after booking?

Your e-ticket is issued immediately after your booking is confirmed on Laters.com, regardless of which payment method you use. If you book with a BNPL provider, confirmation and your ticket arrive as soon as the first instalment is processed, which typically takes under a minute.
