How to Travel from London to Ibadan?

Ibadan is very close to Lagos, but the journey can be tricky. You have two excellent options to reach there from the UK.

Option 1: The “Fly All The Way” Route (Fastest)

Step 1: Fly from London to Lagos (LOS) via British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, or Air Peace.
Step 2: Transfer to the domestic terminal and catch a short flight to Ibadan.
Flight Time: The flight from Lagos to Ibadan takes just 25-30 minutes.
Domestic Airlines: Overland Airways, Air Peace, and Green Africa Airways operate this route.

Option 2: The “Flight + Train” Route (Scenic & Popular)

Step 1: Arrive in Lagos from London.
Step 2: Take a taxi to the Mobolaji Johnson Train Station (Alagomeji, Ebute Metta).
Step 3: Board the new Standard Gauge Train to Moniya Station (Ibadan).
Why choose this? The train is modern, air-conditioned, safe, and cheaper than a domestic flight. It takes about 2 hours 30 minutes.

Best Airlines for the Main Journey

British Airways: (From Heathrow). The most reliable choice for landing in Lagos on time, which is crucial if you have a connecting flight or train to catch.
Virgin Atlantic: (From Heathrow). Offers great comfort. Be aware that evening arrivals might mean you have to stay overnight in Lagos before heading to Ibadan the next day.
Air Peace: (From Gatwick). If you fly Air Peace from London, you can often book your onward connection to Ibadan on the same ticket (check availability).
