Please my fellow nairalanders, which airline should I take? I am travelling from US to Naija. I don't want any airline that will keep me for 24hrs with stop here stop there 'cos I'm travelling with little kids, you know how kids and luggages are. I also don't want to arrive Naija late at night. This is our first time travelling and I am not using any travelling agency.

morpheus24:

Continental/Virgin Nigeria is not a bad flight. Only prolem is you migh have to switch airports in the Uk,not nice if yo have a lot of baggage.

Delta is short and sweet but seats are a little uncomfortabel cause they use smaller planes

BA/Luftansa/KLM re all good,lay over in europe not too bad but they arrive lagos at night

Air france good but short layover, need enough time for transit to terminal at Charles de Gaulle.

Hope that helps

Check with Delta Airlines, the have direct fights from Atlanta to Lagos. It's about a 9 hour direct fight and the really not that expensive. Of Cause it depends on the time period you traveling.

Bossman:

As already mentioned, if you want direct but a little uncomfortable flight due to the size of the aircraft and the travel time, go with Delta. I have not used them yet, but I have travelled with most other European airlines that go from here to Lagos, with stopover in Europe of course. In my experience, the layovers with most of them are not too bad. In October with KLM I think my layover was 2 hrs. My Air France flight for June also has about a 2 hr. layover.

I'd suggest you try orbitz, farechase, cheaptickets, etc. I mostly use orbitz.


Edit: Make sure you note your layover. I think if you fly Virgin Atlantic from here, you wil have to spend the night in UK because of the time they get to London and the time the connecting flight leaves for Lagos.
