Route guides are most useful when they explain the real airport choices, transfer traps and onward travel details behind the fare search.

Airport choice

Use LOS for Lagos, Lekki, Victoria Island and southwest Nigeria. Use ABV if the real destination is Abuja or central Nigeria.

Separate tickets

Low fares can require baggage collection, immigration, security re-screening and recheck-in.

Seasonality

Holiday, diaspora, business and oil-sector travel can tighten availability and shift fares sharply.
