How to Travel from Manchester to Lawanti?

Step 1: The International Leg (Manchester to Abuja)

Best Route: Fly from Manchester to Abuja (ABV).
Airlines: British Airways (via London) and Turkish Airlines (via Istanbul) are the top choices.
Why Abuja? Abuja is the primary gateway to Gombe. There are virtually no direct connections from Lagos to Gombe, so you must route through Abuja.

The Flight: Take a short 1 hour 5 minutes flight from Abuja to Lawanti Airport.
Airlines: Air Peace and Arik Air operate daily flights on this route. Max Air also operates occasionally.

Note: Flight schedules to Gombe can change. We recommend booking your domestic leg well in advance.

Best Airlines for the Main Journey

Turkish Airlines: (Via Istanbul). A favorite for Northern travelers due to Halal catering and 46kg baggage allowance.
British Airways: (Via London). Arrives in Abuja in the morning, giving you the best chance to catch an afternoon flight to Gombe on the same day.
