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.

Option 1: The “International Direct” Route (Best Choice)

How it works: Fly Ethiopian Airlines from London to Addis Ababa, then connect directly to Enugu.
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

1. The King of the East

Ethiopian Airlines: Currently, the ONLY international airline that flies into Enugu. This saves you the stress of domestic transfers. It is the #1 choice for Igbo families in the UK.

2. The Nigerian Pride

Air Peace: (Via Gatwick). Since Enugu is the home base of Air Peace, they have the most frequent domestic connections from Lagos. You can fly Air Peace all the way from London.

3. The Budget Option

Green Africa Airways: (Domestic Leg). If you fly into Lagos on a budget, connecting with Green Africa to Enugu is often the cheapest way to get home.
