Routing Mumbai to Lagos
The smoothest one-stop options go via Dubai (Emirates), Doha (Qatar Airways), Addis Ababa (Ethiopian) or Istanbul (Turkish) — each flying non-stop hub-to-Lagos. Total time runs ≈ 13–16h depending on the layover. Ethiopian via Addis is often the most direct geographically.
Cheapest time to fly and book
Most traffic is business and diaspora, so fares hold up year-round and spike around December and major events. Booking 3–6 weeks ahead and comparing Gulf versus Addis routings helps. Build a comfortable layover — onward Lagos rebookings are expensive.
Flight duration and stops
Expect a long first leg to the hub, a layover, then a hub-to-Lagos flight of roughly 6–8h. Gulf routings are slightly longer than Addis because they backtrack west. No India–Nigeria non-stop exists.
Baggage and fares
Emirates, Qatar, Ethiopian and Turkish include 25–30 kg checked baggage. Indicative fares are live on FlightGPT as of May 2026. Lagos arrivals can be slow — allow time at immigration and have your yellow-fever card ready.
Airports and terminals
Mumbai international departures use Terminal 2 (T2). Lagos arrivals land at Murtala Muhammed International (LOS); the international terminal is separate from the domestic wing. Arrange a trusted airport transfer in advance.
Visa and entry for Indians
Indian travellers need a Nigerian visa arranged in advance — Nigeria moved to an eVisa system, with visa-on-arrival largely phased out. A yellow-fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for entry. Confirm the current process on our visa guide before booking.
