Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS) is Lagos’s main aviation gateway, handling most international and long‑haul flights alongside domestic services. It typically functions as the country’s principal hub, served by a mix of global carriers (European, Middle Eastern and African flag airlines) and Nigeria’s larger operators. The airport sits in Ikeja, roughly 10–15 km from central Ikeja and about 20–30 km from Victoria Island, with travel times heavily dependent on traffic — expect 20–60 minutes to Ikeja and 40–120 minutes to Lagos Island. Common transfers include metered taxis, ride‑hail apps (Uber/Bolt), airport shuttles and private cars; fares can vary widely but ride‑hailing trips across the city often fall in the mid‑range for local standards. Pros: broad route network and modernized international facilities; cons: busy terminals and frequent traffic or processing delays depending on time of day.
Benin City Airport (BNI) is a regional, primarily domestic airport serving Benin City and Edo State rather than a major international hub. It typically hosts Nigerian carriers such as Air Peace, Azman Air and Dana Air on routes to Lagos, Abuja and other regional destinations, with fares usually in the moderate-to-affordable domestic range though prices can vary by season. The airport sits roughly 6–8 km from the city centre, a drive of about 15–30 minutes depending on traffic. Ground options include taxis, private car hires and occasional ride-hailing services or shared minibuses; expect fares roughly in the low thousands of naira. Pros: quick transfers and compact terminal; cons: limited lounges, fewer direct international links and modest on-site amenities.
