Compare cheap flights from Lagos to Dubai on Gokuest and see fares from 100+ travel agents in one place. Whether you are going for shopping, business, a holiday or a connection onward to Asia, you can compare non-stop and connecting Lagos to Dubai options, baggage and fare rules before booking.

Emirates operates non-stop flights between Lagos and Dubai when scheduled, taking roughly 7 to 8 hours. Connecting options through Doha (Qatar Airways), Addis Ababa (Ethiopian Airlines), Cairo (EgyptAir), Abu Dhabi (Etihad) and Istanbul (Turkish Airlines) can be cheaper and sometimes include more baggage, which is useful for travellers buying goods in Dubai. Most flights arrive at Dubai International (DXB). Sharjah International (SHJ), about 30 minutes from central Dubai by road, can also be worth comparing on some dates. Dubai’s busy season runs from November to March, when the weather is cooler, and prices also rise around Christmas, New Year and Eid. Summer is very hot, but fares and hotel prices are often lower. UAE visa rules for Nigerian passport holders have changed several times in recent years, so confirm the current entry requirements and visa processing time before you buy a non-refundable ticket.

Tips and advice

For shopping trips, compare fares by their checked baggage allowance as well as price, since a slightly more expensive ticket with an extra bag is usually cheaper than paying excess baggage at the airport on your way back. Check Sharjah as well as Dubai International on the same dates. Avoid the week before Christmas and the days around Eid if you can, and search mid-week departures for lower fares. Make sure your UAE visa is approved before booking a non-refundable fare.
