How to Travel from London to Yola?

Best Route: Fly from London to Abuja (ABV) via British Airways (Heathrow) or Turkish Airlines (Gatwick/Heathrow via Istanbul).
Why Abuja? Abuja offers daily flights to Yola. Attempting to connect via Lagos is not recommended as flights to Yola are extremely rare and often cancelled.

The Flight: Take a 1 hour 10 minutes flight from Abuja to Yola.
Airlines: Max Air and Air Peace are the primary operators.
Frequency: Flights typically depart Abuja in the morning or early afternoon.

Best Airlines for the Main Journey

Turkish Airlines: (Via Istanbul). Offers generous baggage allowance, which is great for students bringing supplies for the semester.

2. For the Final Leg (Domestic)

Max Air: The “King of the North”. Max Air is the most consistent airline flying into Yola, Nigeria. They are used to handling the high demand from AUN and government officials.

Comfort: Yola can be very hot. Arriving in an air-conditioned aircraft is far better than a dusty road trip.
