Cheap Flights to lagos
Overview
The most populous city in Africa is also one of the continent’s most varied and exciting. Lagos is known for having some of the best nightlife in West Africa, as well as containing outstanding opportunities to go shopping - whether that’s in a traditional market or an ultra-modern mall.
Lagos is not a serene city, although it does boast some fine and hippest beaches. Instead, it’s a place you go to live life to the full. New sights and sounds waiting for you around every corner; however often you’ve been before, there’s sure to be a museum or a café that will be new to you.
Climate
The Algarve is far enough south to offer warm weather i.e. temperature ranging around 70 degrees from March through to November. Summer is the peak season, so head to Lagos in May or June for slightly emptier beaches and accommodation bargains.

Best Time To Visit
The best time to book your cheap flights to Nigeria is from November to January, the dry season, but be ready for the dusty Saharan winds. Apart from the plateau nestled in the middle of the country, most of Nigeria is a hot place, so the most ideal time to explore the city is in the winter months (December, January and February).
