How to Travel from London to Lawanti?

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.

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.
