How to Travel from Manchester to Enugu?

Although Enugu has an international airport, flights from the UK currently require a connection through a major Nigerian hub.

Option 1: The “Lagos Connection” (Most Frequent)

Step 1: Fly from Manchester to Lagos (LOS) via Turkish Airlines, Lufthansa, or Virgin Atlantic.
Step 2: Connect to a domestic flight from Lagos to Enugu.
Domestic Airlines: Air Peace, Green Africa, and United Nigeria Airlines operate multiple daily flights.
Why chose this? Lagos offers the highest number of daily flights to Enugu, giving you flexible arrival times.

Option 2: The Abuja Connection (Smoother Transfer)

Step 1: Fly from Manchester to Abuja (ABV) via British Airways or Lufthansa.
Step 2: Take a short 50-minute flight from Abuja to Enugu.
Why chose this? Abuja airport is generally less chaotic than Lagos, making the transfer to the domestic wing easier and faster.

Best Airlines for the Main Journey

Turkish Airlines: (Via Istanbul). The absolute favorite for Enugu travelers due to the 46kg (2x 23kg) baggage allowance. Essential for bringing goods home to family.
Ethiopian Airlines: (Via Addis Ababa). Occasionally operates flights that get you closer to the East. Check with our agents for their latest Enugu schedule.
Lufthansa: (Via Frankfurt). Excellent for business travelers who need speed and reliability to connect with a scheduled meeting in Enugu.
