Flying from Birmingham to Lagos

Flying from Birmingham to Lagos is an important travel route for passengers heading between the Midlands and Nigeria. For many travellers, the journey is about visiting family and friends, attending weddings and celebrations or returning home for the holidays. Lagos is also a major destination for business travellers and visitors exploring Nigeria for the first time. There are currently no regular non-stop flights between Birmingham and Lagos, so journeys normally require at least one connection. This gives travellers a choice of routes through major European, Middle Eastern and African hubs. For Tripenger, the best flight is not necessarily the one with the lowest headline fare. Journey time, baggage allowance, connection length and arrival time can all make a significant difference, especially on a long-haul trip. Birmingham Airport provides a convenient departure point for travellers across the Midlands, avoiding the need to travel south to London before starting a long-haul journey. Although there is no direct Birmingham–Lagos service, several major airlines sell connecting itineraries from BHX to LOS. KLM, Air France, Lufthansa and Turkish Airlines all currently market Birmingham-to-Lagos journeys through their respective networks.

Depending on your travel dates, connections can include:

  • Amsterdam (AMS)
  • Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG)
  • Frankfurt (FRA)
  • Istanbul (IST)
  • Other major international hubs

For travellers based in Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton, Leicester, Nottingham and surrounding areas, departing from BHX can also remove the extra cost and inconvenience of getting to a London airport.

Direct Flights

There are currently no regular direct flights from Birmingham Airport to Lagos. Most itineraries require at least one stop before arriving at Murtala Muhammed International Airport. This means connection time is particularly important on this route. Two flights may both involve one stop but have very different total journey times. One itinerary might provide a short connection of a couple of hours, while another could involve a much longer wait.

When comparing flights, look at:

  • Total journey time
  • Connection airport
  • Layover length
  • Baggage allowance
  • Arrival time in Lagos
  • Whether the whole journey is booked on one ticket

Arriving at Murtala Muhammed International Airport

Flights arrive at Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS) in Ikeja, Lagos. Nigeria’s Federal Airports Authority identifies Murtala Muhammed Airport as the principal aviation complex serving Lagos. The airport has separate facilities for international and domestic aviation, so passengers continuing elsewhere in Nigeria should check where their next flight departs. If your journey continues on a separately booked domestic ticket, allow plenty of time between flights.

Getting from Lagos Airport

Where you’re staying in Lagos can make a substantial difference to your transfer time.

Common options from the airport include:

  • Hotel transfers
  • Airport taxis
  • Ride-hailing services
  • Private drivers
  • Car hire

Traffic in Lagos can make journey times difficult to predict, so it is sensible to allow extra time rather than relying only on the distance shown on a map. If friends or family are collecting you, agree on a terminal and meeting point before departure.

Tripenger Travel Tip

Compare Birmingham with London, but include the cost of getting there

Travellers in the Midlands sometimes find a cheaper Lagos fare departing from London. Before booking it, calculate the real difference. A London departure may require:

  • Train or coach tickets
  • Fuel
  • Airport parking
  • A hotel for an early flight
  • Several extra hours of travelling
  • More difficult luggage handling

A Birmingham departure that costs slightly more can sometimes be the better-value journey once these additional costs are included.
