Lagos is served primarily by Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS), the city’s main international hub handling most long-haul and regional flights, and by the smaller domestic-focused Murtala Muhammed Domestic Terminal (MMA2) and occasional private/charter fields. Major carriers including international airlines and Nigerian flag and low-cost operators typically use LOS, so fares can range from budget-friendly on regional routes to premium on long-haul services. The international airport sits roughly 20–25 km from Lagos Island and Victoria Island; road transfer times vary widely (30–90+ minutes) depending on traffic, with taxis, ride-hailing apps, shuttles and limited airport buses the usual options—fares can run from modest to moderate. Pros: broad route network and many carrier choices; Cons: congestion, variable transfer times and facilities that can feel crowded during peak periods.

Fly direct from Lagos to Abuja for the quickest, most convenient way to travel between Nigeria’s two major hubs — you’ll reach your destination faster and with less hassle. While connecting options can sometimes be cheaper, a non-stop flight saves time, reduces stress and gives you more of your day to spend on business or exploring the capital.

Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (ABV) in Abuja functions as Nigeria’s primary international gateway for the capital region and typically handles a mix of full-service carriers and some regional/budget operators. Located roughly 25–30 km from the city centre, travel times can be about 30–60 minutes depending on traffic; shared taxis and ride-hailing services are common and usually the fastest option, while public buses are cheaper but slower and less frequent. Fares can vary widely by mode — expect higher costs for app-based cars and lower fares for buses or shared taxis. The airport is generally convenient for international and government travel, offering basic passenger services, though it can be busy during peak periods and some facilities may feel utilitarian compared with major global hubs.
