Unable to find information about the schedule of direct flights from
Nairobi is served mainly by Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO), the region’s primary international gateway and a full-service hub for major carriers, and by Wilson Airport (WIL), which caters primarily to domestic and regional flights and budget operators. Jomo Kenyatta is about 15–20 km south-east of the central business district, typically a 30–60 minute drive depending on traffic; taxis, app-based ride services and airport shuttles are commonly used, with fares usually higher than local buses. Wilson sits roughly 5–8 km from downtown and can be reached in 15–30 minutes by taxi or shuttle. Jomo Kenyatta offers more amenities, lounges and long-haul connections but can be busier and pricier for transfers, while Wilson is convenient for short-hop flights and may be quicker to navigate though facilities are more basic.
Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS) is Lagos’s main international gateway and typically functions as the country’s busiest hub, handling a mix of full-service carriers and regional budget airlines. It sits about 15–20 km northwest of Lagos Island, with road travel often ranging from 45 minutes to over 90 minutes depending on traffic; taxis and app-based ride services are the usual choice, while private shuttles and limited airport transfer buses can be an option. Flights to other Nigerian cities and West Africa are common and fares can feel competitive for regional routes but higher for long-haul connections. Pros: close to the city and wide route network; cons: congestion and variable processing times can make arrivals and departures less predictable.
