Compare connecting routes, travel times, baggage and fare rules for Lagos to Manchester flights, whether you are studying, working, visiting family or relocating to the North West of England.

There are no non-stop flights between Lagos and Manchester, so you will connect once, usually through London Heathrow, Amsterdam, Paris, Istanbul, Doha, Dubai or Addis Ababa. Several airlines that fly from Lagos also serve Manchester directly from their hubs, including KLM, Air France, Turkish Airlines, Qatar Airways, Emirates and Ethiopian Airlines, so you can travel on one ticket all the way to Manchester Airport (MAN). Another option is to fly Lagos to London and take the train north. Trains from London Euston to Manchester Piccadilly take a little over two hours, but you will need to get from the airport into London first and buy the rail ticket separately. Manchester is home to several large universities, so fares rise around the September and January intakes, as well as during UK summer holidays and Christmas. Most Nigerian travellers need a UK visa, and if you connect through a European airport, check whether that country requires an airport transit visa for your passport.

Tips and advice

Compare a single ticket to Manchester against flying to London and taking the train. The train can work out cheaper, but a one-ticket itinerary to Manchester protects you if your first flight is delayed. Students heading for a September intake should book by early summer, before prices climb in August. Gulf and African hubs often include two checked bags, which helps if you are moving with luggage. Give yourself at least two hours for connections in large hubs like Heathrow and Amsterdam.
