KAYAK’s top tips for finding a cheap flight from Lagos to New York

  • Planning on visiting New York for work-related reasons? Consider landing at Newark Liberty, as this is the airport in the region that is closest to Manhattan, a borough that contains many of the city’s office buildings and banks.
  • If you plan on traveling from Lagos to New York, your flight will depart from Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS), which is considered to be one of the largest airports in Nigeria. It’s a hub for several different airlines, including Arik Air, Dana Air, and Ibom Air, so it’s common to see these companies servicing flights out of this airport.
  • There are three different airports that you may land at in New York, which are John F. Kennedy (JFK), Newark Liberty (EWR), and LaGuardia (LGA). Both John F. Kennedy and LaGuardia are placed in Queens, while Newark Liberty is instead found in New Jersey.

Flights for this route are often serviced by companies such as Delta, United, or Virgin Atlantic, and layovers may take place in cities like Atlanta, Casablanca, and London.
  • Those that are in need of a way to pass the time before they start boarding their flight can head to the Relaxation Center in Murtala Muhammed International Airport. It’s located just next to the airport’s food court and is free for all travelers.

The boarding process was quite loud and chaotic. The flight attendants kept barking over the PA system about people needing to only stow large items in the overhead bins. During the one and only service, I was hit by the service cart. At the same time, a passenger was returning from the bathroom and the crew definitely saw him but stopped a few seats short of allowing him to sit down before starting service and made him wait a good 10 minutes before passing his seat and allowing him to sit down, after which he had to ask for his snack and beverage or he would have been passed over. Neither flight attendant thanked passengers as they left; in fact, I did not see them again once the plane door was opened.

Flight Attendant Karen Lynn was an absolute delight. She assisted in every portion of the services provided throughout the flight, aided with any and all concerns expressed by passengers, and even helped comfort an upset child who was one of five of a traveling family. This quality of service is what keeps me coming back to American. Thank you!

The worst, flight cancelled because the aircraft was not full. Heathrow ground crew totally not helpful and arrogant. Lady proposed us flight with 40min layover instead of direct and said it is our problem of course she was unable to do anything as everything was beyond her control she claimed. after calling on hotline another flight was booked. Flight was cancelled last second so we could not take direct from Zurich but we had to stay overnight in London.

The seats in row 31 are terrible and small and uncomfortable. Don't ever sit there. The window seat is so close to the curve of the plane is so annoying. I paid extra for this seat and I hated all 10 hours in it.

Food was terrible , crew were excellent , IFE was dire . Overall comfortable seat and cabin. Nothing special .

If my tv wasn’t broken and I wasn’t in a seat that didn’t allow for sleeping

Delayed flight due to lack of crew caused me to miss my connection

Please make sure the number of seats matches the number of overhead bins and passengers don't carry on more than one bag.

Seating is tight if you don’t upgrade. Food was decent. Boarding and unboarding was efficient. Smooth flight. Could make upgrades more affordable

Boarding was chaotic. Glad we were group 5 and still had cabin storage available when we boarded. I was expecting crew would get our carryons at the gate since theyclaimed it was a full flight.
