Route on the map
When to fly
Book well ahead for January, which is the cheapest month shown for this route, because connecting seats can sell out before the departure date. Midweek departures often have more choice than weekend ones, and school holidays plus the Christmas and New Year period usually push fares up. The price calendar covers November, December, January, February, March, May and June, so compare those months before you choose. If your trip falls in April, July, August, September or October, check updated fares closer to travel because those months are not in the calendar.
Airlines and what to expect
The real difference between these carriers is not the route, since none flies nonstop from Doha to Kano, but how the journey is sold and what it includes. Egyptair, Etihad Airways, Saudi Arabian Airlines, Ethiopian Airlines, Qatar Airways, Oman Air and Fly Dubai all require a connection, so compare connection time, baggage allowance, meals and whether both flights sit on one ticket. Some fares look lower at first but add charges for bags or seat selection, while others bundle more into the price. Read the fare rules for your chosen airline before paying, because the cheapest base fare is not always the cheaper trip.
Arriving — Kano
Aminu Kano International handles the city's flights, so arrivals are concentrated in one place and onward travel is usually by road. Taxis and pre-arranged pickups are the usual way into town; agree the fare before you set off and keep your hotel address handy. If you land late, arrange transport in advance, because public options may be limited at night.
