Planning a trip from the UK to Lagos, Nigeria? Whether you're returning home to reunite with family, attending a wedding or event, or exploring Nigeria’s vibrant business and cultural hub, finding affordable airfare is often the first challenge.
The good news? With the right timing, strategies, and expert help from Travel Campus UK, you can fly to Lagos on a budget without compromising comfort or flexibility. This comprehensive guide reveals everything you need to know to save big, from understanding visa rules and peak seasons to scoring exclusive travel deals and using our flexible 'Book Now, Pay Later' system.
Let’s dive into your step-by-step guide to securing cheap, secure, and stress-free flights to Lagos from the UK.
Flight prices to Lagos, Nigeria, vary dramatically depending on the time of year. Peak travel seasons are driven heavily by the Nigerian diaspora, who often return home during:
December Holidays (Christmas & New Year): This is the busiest and most expensive time to fly. Book early (as far as September) to avoid paying double.
Easter Holidays: Fares rise in April as families return for long breaks.
Summer (July–August): A major window for family visits, weddings, and cultural events.
If you’re not tied to school holidays or major celebrations, consider travelling during off-peak seasons such as “mid-January to March” or “September to early November”. You can save hundreds by adjusting your dates even by a few days.
Pro Tip: Use Travel Campus’s fare comparison and calendar tools to identify the cheapest days to fly.
The ideal time to book your flight to Lagos is about 6 to 10 weeks before departure. Book too early (6+ months) and airlines may not have released their lowest fares. Book too late (within 2 weeks), and you're likely to pay peak rates.
“I want to book but don’t have all the funds right now”, Sound familiar? This is where Travel Campus UK helps you secure the lowest fare with a deposit today and pay the rest in instalments with zero interest or credit checks. Our Book Now, Pay Later system is designed for travellers like you.
Most travellers think of Heathrow first, but fares may vary depending on your UK departure point. You can often find better rates from:
1- London Gatwick
2- Manchester Airport
3- Birmingham
4- Glasgow (for Northern travellers)
By expanding your departure options, you can sometimes save £100–£200 per ticket. Travel Campus UK searches across all major UK airports to find your best route whether it’s a direct flight or one with a short stopover.
While direct flights to Lagos are quicker, they’re usually more expensive. Smart travellers choose one-stop routes via trusted international hubs like:
1- Doha (Qatar Airways)
2- Addis Ababa (Ethiopian Airlines)
3- Istanbul (Turkish Airlines)
4- Dubai (Emirates)
These flights may be slightly longer but are often £150–£300 cheaper, especially during high season. And don’t worry - Travel Campus will always check your layover times, visa requirements, and baggage rules to ensure a smooth journey.
All UK passport holders (including those of Nigerian origin) must obtain a valid visa before travelling to Nigeria. Here’s what you need to know:
- Apply for a Tourist or Business visa through the Nigerian High Commission website.
- You’ll need proof of accommodation, return ticket, and financial support.
- Yellow Fever vaccination is mandatory for entry. Keep your certificate handy.
- Dual nationals travelling on a Nigerian passport still need to carry required health documents and verify passport validity.
Travel Campus UK offers step-by-step guidance on visa and health requirements so you're never caught off-guard at the airport.
Airfares rise quickly, especially as departure dates get closer. Instead of waiting to save up the full amount, you can secure your booking now with a small deposit, and pay the balance in easy instalments.
