Situated 13miles northwest of Lagos, the Lagos Murtala Muhammed International Airport is not very luxurious. However, it includes the following facilities:

•  tourist help desk
•  post office
•  bureau de change
•  bank
•  a restaurant
•  cafe
•  duty free shop

A highway links the airport with the city centre. The airport has one passenger terminal and two runways. The luggage handling system is chaotic and also airport security is conveniently insufficient due to which pickpockets are very common. Passengers are advised to take care of their belongings and use the yellow cabs or car rental provided at the airport. It would always be wise to negotiate the fare for the taxi beforehand.

Air Nigeria (VK) including major airlines like Arik Air (W3), Virgin Atlantic (VS), KLM Royal Dutch (KL), British Air (BA) and Lufthansa (LH) also operate at the airport.
