How to Travel from London to Enugu?

Enugu is the gateway to the South-East. You have two distinct ways to travel, but Option 1 is the clear winner for most.

  • Why this is best: You avoid the chaos of Lagos or Abuja airports entirely. You clear customs and immigration right in Enugu.
  • Baggage: Ethiopian Airlines offers 2x 23kg (46kg), which is perfect for bringing gifts home.

Option 2: The “Domestic Connection” Route

  • Step 1: Fly from London to Lagos (LOS) via Virgin Atlantic, British Airways, or Air Peace.
  • Step 2: Connect to a domestic flight from Lagos to Enugu.
  • Domestic Airlines: Air Peace, Green Africa, and United Nigeria.
  • Why choose this? If you need to stop in Lagos for a few days before heading to the village.

Best Airlines for the Main Journey
