Do you have any tips for my flight to Lagos?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a ball in Lagos in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
  • You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Lagos?
The trick is to be well prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Lagos in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

  • Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.

Book a Flight to Lagos

One of the biggest cities in the world, and growing every day, Lagos is home to an exploding arts and culture scene. Combined with some of the best beaches in Nigeria, this pulsating city really draws you in.


When to Book Flights to Lagos

The best time to visit Lagos is very much dependent on the climate. Hot and dry for much of the year, the rainy season is when things get very wet. The rains are a welcome break from the humidity of the tropical south but can make visits a little more problematic and generally less convenient. Rainy season usually runs from March to November.

One of the best times to visit is from December through to January when the drying harmattan wind reduces humidity. But on the whole, the cultural powerhouse that is Lagos is a year-round destination. Whatever the time of year, it’s generally hot and humid, and there’s enough to see and do no matter what’s going on with the weather.


How to Find the Best Flight Deals to Lagos

If you really want to find cheap flights to Lagos, you are advised to book as early as possible. However, this is not the only way to get great deals on tickets. Expedia allows you to search smarter to save money when you book your flights.

Main Airports in Lagos

Murtala Muhammed International Airport is the main airport serving the city, named after the fourth military ruler of Nigeria. Around 40 airlines fly in and out of the airport, to around 60 destinations around the world.

While the services in the airport don’t quite reach European or American levels, they are catching up quickly. There are lounges, a bank, a post office and duty-free options.

Public transport isn’t great, so it’s recommended that you take a cab or book a private transfer. It can take between 30 and 60 minutes to reach the airport depending on traffic, so leave plenty of time to make your return flight.


Which Airlines Fly to Lagos?

Direct and indirect Lagos flights are available from numerous carriers.

These include:


How to Get Around in Lagos

The best way of getting around is to hire a car with a driver, if you have the budget. They will know the best routes and also have the inside knowledge of the most interesting places to visit.

The Bus Rapid Transit scheme runs many services but these can be slow moving thanks to traffic. It’s a good idea to buy tickets in bulk before travelling.

Getting around in Lagos is generally much easier now than in the past, with good road signs making it easy to locate landmarks.

The city is safe enough to get around during the day, but despite efforts to reduce crime it can be a little risky in some places at night.


What are the Must-Sees in Lagos?

The main highlight of any visit to Lagos is the choice of more than a dozen beaches. Lagos Bar Beach is perhaps the most famous, with myriad bars and restaurants running along its length. Although it’s close to the city, it provides a welcome break from the bustle of the urban areas. Other beaches include Eleko beach, Lekki beach and Badgary.

Badgary is also where you’ll find the ancient slave port known as the ‘Point of No Return’. It was from here that countless thousands of people were forcibly sent to the New World to live a life of slavery.


Tips for Travelling in Lagos

Some business travellers might be able to get a visa on arrival, but in general you are advised to apply for entry permission before you travel. You should also check whether you need a yellow fever certificate.

Swimming in the waters off the coast can also be dangerous due to strong currents and tides, so look out for warnings if you’re visiting the beach.
