How to Travel from London to Lawanti?

Lawanti Airport is a key domestic hub in North-Eastern Nigeria. The only practical way to reach Gombe from the UK is by connecting through Abuja.

Step 1: The International Leg (London to Abuja)

  • Best Route: Fly from London to Abuja (ABV) via British Airways (Heathrow) or Turkish Airlines (Gatwick/Heathrow).
  • Why Abuja? Abuja is the primary gateway to Gombe. Connections from Lagos are rare and often require changing airports, which is not recommended.

Step 2: The Domestic Leg (Abuja to Gombe)

  • The Flight: Take a short 1 hour 5 minutes flight from Abuja to Lawanti Airport.
  • Airlines: Air Peace and Arik Air operate daily flights on this route. Max Air also operates seasonally.
  • Tip: Book your domestic leg in advance as flights can fill up quickly with government officials and business travelers.

Best Airlines for the Main Journey

  • British Airways: (Via London). Arrives in Abuja in the morning. This gives you the best chance to catch an afternoon flight to Gombe on the same day without needing a hotel.
  • Turkish Airlines: (Via Istanbul). A favorite for Northern travelers due to Halal catering and 46kg baggage allowance.
  • Air Peace: The most reliable carrier for the final leg into Lawanti.
