Lowest fares from Toronto to Lagos
What to know before you book Toronto to Lagos
There's no nonstop between Toronto and Lagos (LOS), so trips connect in Europe (London, Amsterdam, Paris), Istanbul, the Gulf or Addis Ababa. December is the busiest month on this route, when fares climb early.
Pick the connection that fits your passport
Canadian passport holders can connect almost anywhere. If you're travelling on a Nigerian passport, check transit rules before you book: connections in London or the Schengen Area can need an airport transit visa, though holders of Canadian permanent residence are often exempt. Istanbul, the Gulf and Addis Ababa are common choices to avoid the question.
Bags and gifts
Allowances to Lagos differ a lot between airlines, and some include two checked bags in economy while others charge for the second. If you're bringing gifts home, compare fares with the bags you need included.
Visa before you book
Canadians need a visa for Nigeria; Nigeria now takes applications online (e-visa). Apply well ahead of a December trip. Nigerian passport holders don't need one.
