How to Travel from Manchester to Ibadan?
Since Ibadan Airport (IBA) is a domestic hub, international flights from the UK do not land there directly. You have two main options for your journey:
Option 1: The “Lagos Route” (Most Popular)
- Step 1: Fly from Manchester to Lagos (LOS) via Turkish Airlines, Lufthansa, or Virgin Atlantic (via London).
- Step 2: Travel by road from Lagos to Ibadan.
- Why choose this? Ibadan is only 130km from Lagos. The journey via the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway takes about 2 to 3 hours. This is the fastest and most common route for international travelers.
Option 2: The “Abuja Connection” (By Air)
- Step 1: Fly from Manchester to Abuja (ABV) via British Airways or Lufthansa.
- Step 2: Take a domestic flight from Abuja to Ibadan (operated by Overland Airways or Air Peace).
Why choose this? Avoids the road travel, but flight schedules to Ibadan can be infrequent.
