The return leg from Lagos to London is longer at around 7 hours, due to prevailing headwinds.", "methodology": "Carrier service, flight times and distances for this route come from our flight-schedule database, which draws on published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data, and observed operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We report the days of the week and the departure times each carrier operates. The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time, given both per carrier and across all carriers on the route; where a schedule does not publish an elapsed time, it is derived from the scheduled departure and arrival times converted to UTC. Outbound and return times are computed by the same method, so the difference between them is directly comparable and reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in derivation. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two specific airports named, so an actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer. Where shown, on-time departure and arrival rates and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, which covers U.S. domestic routes only; where a typical fare is shown, it comes from the U.S. DOT Airline Origin and Destination Survey (DB1B), a quarterly 10% sample of tickets sold.", "toolsUsed": ["flight_schedule"]}, "q3": {"question": "What are the ground transportation options in Lagos?", "answer": "At Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS), official airport taxis and ride-hailing services like Uber and Bolt are the most reliable and widely used options for reaching central Lagos; they offer the fastest and safest door-to-door service, especially for first-time visitors. Public mass transit such as BRT buses and danfo minibuses is available from nearby stops but is generally crowded, slow, and not recommended with luggage. Car rentals are present at the airport but are less common due to heavy traffic and challenging local driving conditions. Overall, ride-hailing apps are the most popular choice among travelers for their balance of convenience and cost.", "toolsUsed": [], "references": [{"url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murtala_Muhammed_International_Airport", "title": "Murtala Muhammed International Airport", "favicon": "https://en.wikipedia.org/static/apple-touch/wikipedia.png", "time_published": "2026-07-28T08:16:27Z"}, {"url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murtala_Muhammed_Airport_Two", "title": "Murtala Muhammed International Airport", "favicon": "https://en.wikipedia.org/static/apple-touch/wikipedia.png", "time_published": "2026-07-07T20:30:22Z"}, {"url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murtala%20Muhammed%20International%20Airport", "title": "Murtala Muhammed International Airport", "time_published": "2026-04-25T20:31:14Z"}, {"url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MMA2", "title": "Murtala Muhammed International Airport", "favicon": "https://en.wikipedia.org/static/apple-touch/wikipedia.png", "time_published": "2026-07-16T10:52:04Z"}, {"url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagos_Murtala_Mohammed_International_Airport", "title": "Murtala Muhammed International Airport", "favicon": "https://en.wikipedia.org/static/apple-touch/wikipedia.png", "time_published": "2004-11-13T09:32:29Z"}]}, "q6": {"question": "Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from London to Lagos?", "answer": "Yes, overnight red‑eye flights are available from London to Lagos.
