About the New York to Lagos route
New York to Lagos has one nonstop, on Delta from JFK, and a long list of one-stop connections through Europe, the Gulf and Africa. The nonstop is the fastest by hours; the connections are frequently much cheaper and allow two checked bags on more fares. An agent prices both for your dates. The December holiday peak sells out months ahead, and fares rise sharply as it approaches.
- December books early
- The Christmas and New Year period is the busiest on any Nigeria route. Call as soon as your dates are set.
- Two bags matter
- Most carriers allow two checked bags to Lagos on standard fares, but not on the cheapest fares. The agent reads the allowance and includes any extra bag in the total.
