Local travel tips
Practical advice for Abuja travellers
Small things that make a departure from this city smoother.
Compare Abuja and Lagos departures
Some long-haul fares are cheaper from Lagos even after adding a domestic hop, while others are better priced straight out of Abuja. We check both before quoting.
Most embassies are in Abuja
If your visa appointment is in Abuja, it can be worth timing travel plans around it. We prepare the itinerary and hotel documents embassies usually ask for.
Allow for the airport road
The airport sits well outside the city centre. Two hours before a domestic flight and three before an international one is a comfortable plan.
Overnight connections
Where an Abuja itinerary means a long layover, we look for routings with a reasonable connection time rather than the cheapest possible fare.
