Lagos to Abuja
When to book this route
This is Nigeria's busiest domestic corridor, with frequent daily departures, so fares stay fairly stable outside peak periods. Booking ahead of December and Easter, when demand between the two cities spikes, tends to save the most.
Before you fly
Your boarding pass is the authority on terminals and gates — these are the things that are true whichever airline you end up on.

- Get there
- 3 hours ahead for international, 2 hours for domestic
