Compare available flight optionsDirect vs connecting flights
Depending on your departure airport, destination and travel date, you may have the option of choosing between a direct service and a connecting itinerary.
Where direct services are available for a particular route and travel date, they can reduce total journey time and remove the need for a connection. Availability should always be checked for your exact travel dates.
Connecting flights can provide more options when travelling from Canada to Nigeria. Depending on the route, travellers may connect through international aviation hubs before continuing to Nigeria.
When comparing connecting flights, consider:
