Cheap Flights from Abuja Airport (BHX)
Travelling to the Federal Capital Territory? Make your journey as smooth as possible. Good Flights offers the best flight options from Birmingham Airport (BHX) to Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (ABV) in Abuja.
Whether you are travelling for government business, diplomacy, or simply visiting family in the North, Abuja is the superior entry point. Avoid the congestion of Lagos and the long drive to Heathrow. Start your trip in the Midlands and land in the modern comfort of Abuja.
Why Choose Birmingham (BHX) to Abuja?
- The “Lagos Alternative”: Abuja Airport is newer, less crowded, and far easier to navigate than Lagos. Immigration queues are shorter, and baggage claim is faster.
- Gateway to the North: If your final destination is Kaduna, Jos, Minna, or Kano, landing in Abuja puts you within easy reach. It is the central hub for Northern travel.
- Midlands Convenience: Depart from Birmingham (BHX). Enjoy a relaxed airport experience with shorter security lines and cheaper parking than London airports.
- Top-Tier Airlines: You don’t need to go to Heathrow to find premium airlines. Carriers like Lufthansa and Turkish Airlines fly to Abuja via their hubs, offering excellent service from Birmingham.

Top Airlines Flying This Route
We compare every option to find you the best balance of price and comfort.
- Lufthansa: Fly via Frankfurt (FRA). A top choice for business travellers. Lufthansa offers a very reliable service directly into Abuja, bypassing Lagos entirely.
- Air France: Fly via Paris (CDG). Excellent connections and modern aircraft. A great option if you want to arrive in Abuja in the evening.
- Turkish Airlines: Fly via Istanbul (IST). Often the best value for money. They have a massive network and offer generous baggage allowances.

Have Questions? We have Got Answers.
Are there direct flights from Birmingham to Abuja?
No, there are currently no direct flights. You will have one convenient stopover in a European hub (like Frankfurt or Paris). This splits the journey up nicely.
Is it better to fly into Abuja or Lagos?
If your destination is Abuja or anywhere in the North/Middle Belt, definitely choose Abuja. It saves you a domestic flight transfer and is a much calmer arrival experience.
