Easter and Ramadan are busy times requiring travellers to book their flight tickets a couple of months in advance.

Off season:

The rainy seasons (April to July / October to November) are a great time to find the cheapest flights to Nigeria. The wettest month is June, so hotel rates dip to attract visiting tourists who don’t mind the hot, steamy weather.
