How to Save Big on Japa Flights: Comparing West African Routes to London, Dublin, Paris and More

I compared one-way ticket prices for April 22, 2026 flights from major West African cities to key destinations in Europe, North America and Asia. When my friend checked a Lagos booking site, a Lagos–London fare jumped from ₦1.3 m to ₦1.5 m in hours. We then looked at departures from Cotonou and found tickets just under ₦900k. He saved over ₦400k by bus-hopping to Benin two days before his flight. Here are sample fares: • London (LHR): Abuja ₦476k, Lagos ₦560k, Accra ₦488k, Lome ₦906k, Cotonou ₦804k, Douala ₦656k • Dublin (DUB): Abuja ₦559k, Lagos ₦636k, Accra ₦705k, Lome ₦936k, Cotonou ₦974k, Douala ₦895k • Paris (CDG): Abuja ₦619k, Lagos ₦540k, Accra ₦692k, Lome ₦875k, Cotonou ₦813k, Douala ₦646k • Atlanta (ATL): Abuja ₦1.002 m, Lagos ₦1.005 m, Accra ₦1.143 m, Lome ₦1.439 m, Cotonou ₦1.489 m, Douala ₦1.209 m • Shanghai (PVG): Abuja ₦960k, Lagos ₦960k, Accra ₦1.021 m, Lome ₦1.384 m, Cotonou ₦1.359 m, Douala ₦964k Price gaps reflect demand levels, exchange rates (₦1≈3 CFA) and varying government policies.
