Discover Lagos
Beats, beaches and natural beauty await you in this bustling African city. Set off on a flight to Lagos and discover a diverse culture, from legendary nightlife and entertainment, to markets and museums. Fly to Lagos from the US in style and explore one of Africa's fastest growing cities.
It's 20 years since Lagos lost the title as Nigeria's capital, but the city doesn't seem to believe it. For a start, it's still home to the country's main business district, on Lagos Island. Nigeria’s movie industry ('Nollywood') is based here too, and its vibrant music scene is famous throughout Africa and beyond.
Take one of our flights to Lagos and begin an adventure in one of the busiest cities in Africa. And when you're ready to relax, simply kick back on one of the many sandy beaches along the Atlantic coast.
