Route Overview
Flying from London to Lagos
Flying from London to Lagos is one of the most important air links between the UK and West Africa. The route serves a large mix of travellers returning home to Nigeria, visiting family and friends, attending weddings and celebrations, travelling for business or exploring Lagos for the first time. Unlike many UK – Africa routes, London has regular non-stop flights to Lagos, giving travellers the option of reaching Nigeria without changing aircraft. Direct services are available with several airlines, while one-stop itineraries provide additional choice when price, baggage allowance or departure time is more important than taking the shortest route. British Airways and Virgin Atlantic operate direct Heathrow–Lagos services, while Air Peace also serves London-Lagos directly from Gatwick. With direct flight times of around 6 hours 40 minutes, Lagos is comparatively easy to reach from London. London offers travellers something many other UK cities cannot: a choice of direct flights to Lagos.
British Airways operates non-stop services from Heathrow, Virgin Atlantic also flies directly between Heathrow and Lagos, and Air Peace offers direct London–Lagos services from Gatwick. This gives passengers several ways to approach the journey.
A direct flight is usually the easiest option if you want:
- The shortest journey time
- No airport connection
- Simpler travel with children
- Less handling of checked baggage
- A more straightforward trip for elderly travellers
However, connecting itineraries can still be worth comparing because they may occasionally offer lower fares, more suitable departure times or different baggage allowances. Tripenger recommends comparing the whole journey, not just the first price you see.
