FAQs for booking Johannesburg to Lagos flights

  • If I have an early morning flight from OR Tambo International Airport, is there somewhere near the airport to stay overnight?

    There’s a choice of hotels on site at OR Tambo Airport. The InterContinental Johannesburg OR Tambo Airport is a 5-star establishment directly opposite the terminal buildings and the City Lodge Hotel OR Tambo adjoins the departures hall without having to go outside. Both hotels are less than a five-minute walk to the airport terminal.

  • What is the best transport option for me to use from Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos to the city centre or hotel area?

    Although there are a few other options, the most recommended transport option is to use a taxi. Look for the yellow and blue taxis outside the terminal. However it’s not always safe to use a taxi at night, so rather, arrange with your hotel to organise a taxi for you. Always negotiate your taxi fee before leaving the airport. An average fee to Lagos city centre is around 5 000 NGN (around 200,00 ZAR). Although the drive is only around 20 kilometres, due to the condition of the roads and the traffic, it can take anywhere from one to three hours.
