All I can say is that Arik air is the best direct flight you can get between Lagos and London for now!!

I have flown them three times!! The last time my husband flew Virgin atlantic, he was regretting not flying Arik.

New planes, Great leg room space, good food and lots of extras if you want (wine, juice etc), smooth flight, nice entertainment, hostesses are nice and always ready to help, You know how nigerians are when we start something newly.

As par sitting arrangement, i think it's a general Nigerian disease, the last time I was to fly, I got to my sit and a woman was there with her son. She insisted her son wanted to sit by the window.I decided to let go and sat just behind them. The original owners of my own sit came and I had to stand up, by that time, the other woman that was to sit beside me came and insisted we must sit on our seats. This woman and her son refused to stand up, it took an air stewardess to plead with them to get up and promised the son a window sit. Nigerians can be generally unruly!!

For now they are really good and you get 60kg baggage allowance!! Might not matter to you sha cos you are a man grin

My cousin flew arik air from london. she said it was very cool. enough leg space. good customer service, neat too. but the only down side is that they don't sell duty free stuff on the plane like others do. so you might just want to buy all you wish to buy at the airport.

Not too bothered about Duty free on board. I have never bought duty free on-board any flight anyways. Much rather buy in world duty free before boarding.

Thanks for the feedback.
