Cheap flights from Warsaw to Lagos

Prices on this route are tracked for September, October, November, December, January, March and May, and November comes out cheapest of those months. Late autumn and the quieter weeks of winter are generally the calmest time to book, while December and the summer holidays push fares up at both ends of the route. Departing midweek is usually easier on the wallet than a Friday or weekend flight. For a long-haul trip with a connection, booking a few months ahead gives you the widest choice of routings and layovers, and leaving it late rarely works in your favour.

Ethiopian Airlines, Qatar Airways, Austrian, Lufthansa, LOT Polish Airlines, Finnair, Braathens Regional Aviation, Turkish Airlines, British Airways and Aegean Airlines all serve this route, and none of them fly it nonstop. Where they differ is where you change planes and what the ticket covers: full-service carriers normally include a checked bag and meals in the fare, while the leaner low-cost style fares sell the seat alone and charge extra for luggage and seat choice. If an itinerary mixes airlines, the rules of the first carrier often set the baggage allowance for the whole journey, so read the conditions before you pay.

Flights from Warsaw land at Murtala Muhammed, the international airport serving Lagos. It sits outside the city centre and you reach it by road, with traffic heavy through much of the day, so leave generous time for the transfer, especially in the late afternoon. Taxis, ride-hailing apps and hotel shuttles are the usual ways into town. Agree the fare or check the app price before you set off, and be wary of drivers who approach you inside the terminal rather than at a marked rank.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Confirm which Warsaw airport you are leaving from, since the city has more than one and they are not next to each other.
• Check the baggage allowance on every leg, particularly if the fare is a bare one with no checked bag included.
• If you book separate tickets or a self-transfer, make sure there is enough time to clear immigration and check your bag again.
• Look up the entry requirements for Nigeria well before departure, including visa and health rules.
• Book early for December and the summer holidays, when seats on this route fill up fastest.
• Compare total journey time as well as fare, because a cheaper connection can add many hours.
