How to Travel from Manchester to Yola?

Yola is located in the North-East of Nigeria. Since there are no direct international flights, the smartest way to travel is by connecting through Abuja.

Step 1: The International Leg (Manchester to Abuja)

Best Route: Fly from Manchester to Abuja (ABV).
Why Abuja? Abuja is the gateway to Northern Nigeria. Connecting via Lagos is not recommended as it adds unnecessary travel time and distance.
Top Airlines: British Airways, Lufthansa, or Turkish Airlines fly from Manchester to Abuja (with one stop).

Step 2: The Domestic Leg (Abuja to Yola)

The Flight: A short 1 hour 10 minutes domestic flight takes you from Abuja straight to Yola.
Airlines: Max Air and Air Peace are the main carriers operating daily flights on this route.
Transfers: We advise leaving at least 3-4 hours between your arrival in Abuja and your departure to Yola to clear immigration comfortably.

Best Airlines for the Main Journey

Turkish Airlines: (Via Istanbul). A favorite for Northern Nigeria due to its Halal catering and generous baggage allowance (46kg).
British Airways: (Via London Heathrow). Arrives in Abuja in the morning, which connects perfectly with afternoon domestic flights to Yola.

Lufthansa: (Via Frankfurt). Known for reliability, ensuring you don’t miss your domestic connection in Abuja.
