How to Travel from London to Port Harcourt?

Since there are no direct flights from the UK to Port Harcourt, you need a smart connection. We recommend Option 1 for maximum comfort.

Option 1: The “European Connection” (Best for Business)

  • How it works: Fly from London to a European hub, then fly straight into Port Harcourt.
  • Airlines: Lufthansa (via Frankfurt) and Air France (via Paris).
  • Why this is best: These airlines fly directly into PHC International Wing. You avoid the chaos of changing terminals in Lagos. It is the standard route for oil and gas professionals.

Option 2: The “Baggage King” Route

  • Airlines: Turkish Airlines (via Istanbul).
  • Why choose this: Turkish Airlines lands directly in Port Harcourt and offers the generous 46kg (2x 23kg) baggage allowance. Perfect if you are bringing supplies or heavy luggage.

Option 3: The “Via Lagos” Route

  • How it works: Fly Virgin Atlantic, British Airways, or Air Peace to Lagos, then connect to PHC.
  • Domestic Airlines: Air Peace, Arik Air, or Ibom Air.
  • Note: This requires moving from the International to the Domestic terminal in Lagos.

Best Airlines for the Main Journey

1. The Corporate Favorites

  • Lufthansa: The most trusted airline for Port Harcourt. Their schedule is tailored for business travelers, ensuring you arrive ready for work.
  • Air France: excellent connection times from London Heathrow via Paris. A top choice for those living in GRA or working with Total/Shell.

2. The Best Value

  • Turkish Airlines: fast becoming the favorite for Nigerian families due to price and baggage allowance.
  • Qatar Airways: Now operates flights to Port Harcourt via Abuja/Doha, offering 5-star luxury.

Why Fly Directly to PHC?

  • Security: The roads leading to Port Harcourt (especially from Owerri or Aba) can be unpredictable. Landing directly at PHC International Airport is the safest entry point.
  • Convenience: PHC Airport has been recently upgraded. It serves not just Port Harcourt, but also Aba (Abia State) and Yenagoa (Bayelsa State).
  • Avoid Lagos Stress: Transferring in Lagos with heavy bags can be exhausting. Flying Lufthansa or Turkish bypasses Lagos entirely.
