Lagos Travel Tips

Arriving at Lagos Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS) can be a unique experience, especially for first-time visitors.

• Airport Arrival: Most direct flights from London arrive at the international wing of Terminal 1. British Airways and Virgin Atlantic both use this terminal. Immigration queues can be lengthy, especially during peak hours (5:00–8:30 am and 5:00–8:00 pm). Allow at least 60–90 minutes to pass through immigration and baggage claim. Priority services are available with some airlines for business class or elite status flyers.
• Transport to City: The airport is about 14 miles (22 kilometers) from Victoria Island and central Lagos. Taxis are available outside arrivals, but use only official airport taxis or pre-booked car services. Rideshare apps like Bolt and Uber operate at LOS but may have limited vehicle availability at busy times. Expect a 30–60 minute drive depending on traffic. Avoid touts or unofficial drivers.
• Practical Tips for Arriving Travelers:

1. Cash and Cards: Bring some local currency (Nigerian Naira, NGN) for taxis and small purchases. International ATMs are available in the arrivals area. Credit cards are widely accepted at major hotels but less so elsewhere.
2. Health and Safety: Yellow fever vaccination is required for entry. Carry your vaccination card. Use bottled water and be cautious with street food on arrival day.
3. SIM Cards and Connectivity: Purchase a local SIM card from MTN or Airtel kiosks in the arrivals hall for better rates and coverage.
4. Airport Wi-Fi: Free Wi-Fi is available, but speeds can vary. For reliable internet, use a local SIM or portable hotspot.
5. Customs Declarations: Declare any large amounts of cash and electronics. The customs process is usually straightforward for tourists with typical luggage.

• Visa Requirements:
• UK Citizens: Require a Nigerian visa in advance. The process can take 7–14 days. Apply at Nigeria High Commission UK.
• US Citizens: Also require a visa before arrival. Apply through the Embassy of Nigeria in Washington DC.
• E-Visa on Arrival: Available for some nationalities, but pre-approval is highly recommended due to variable processing times.

For onward travel and accommodation, see hotels in Lagos for options near Victoria Island, Lekki, and Ikeja.
