They were patient in answering all my questions and ensured I got the best option for my travel needs. The customer service was excellent, and everything was handled efficiently.

This page is for anyone in the UK working out how to fly to Lagos, Nigeria, whether you are visiting family, travelling for work or taking a trip. Lagos's airport is Murtala Muhammed International Airport, code LOS. Each fact below is taken from a named airline, airport or government page, and the sources section at the end gives the date we read them. Where we could not read a page, we say so and leave the detail to a quote check.
Virgin Atlantic lists a daily service to Lagos from London Heathrow. Virgin Atlantic lists about 7 hours of flight time on its Lagos page.
British Airways lists Lagos among its Heathrow destinations. We could not read its route page when we checked, so we state no British Airways flight time or baggage allowance. Ask us for both.
Air Peace names a Lagos to London Gatwick service in a flight advisory on its own website. The page gives no frequency, so we state none.
Emirates lists flights to Lagos from eight UK airports. The pages we read do not name the stopover airport, so we do not either.

Airlines change their routes and schedules, so read this as what each airline publishes rather than as a timetable.

I kept getting through to AI customer services of the other popular travel companies just to allow me book unaccompanied flight for my 16 year old. But I got to speak to a real being here who assisted me till the point where BA's website confirmed the flight for my 16 year old to travel unaccompanied. Thank you
I approached Travel Orbit Ltd when I was desperate after having let down by another travel agency. Not only did Travel Orbit Ltd help me to recover my money, they also helped me put up a funding package to enable me to buy the ticket that I needed, at an even lower price. The staff member who helped me was so patient and knowledgeable from the beginning to the end. I experienced a rare professional customer support that I haven't experienced for a very long time.
Excellent service from Travel Orbit Ltd! I found Travel Orbit Ltd through an advertisement on social media and, after completing a quick enquiry form, Diana got in touch with me almost immediately. She was able to arrange and book my flight in record time, and I was particularly impressed by how thorough she was throughout the booking process. Any potential errors or details that needed correcting were picked up and dealt with almost immediately, which gave me complete confidence and reassurance. From start to finish, the service was professional, efficient and personal. I'm one very happy customer! 😊 Excellent booking process and exceptional customer service. Thank you, Diana, and Travel Orbit Ltd! 🙏🏽
