Flight

Getting into Nigeria

You can either fly into Nigeria through the Murtala Muhammed (LOS) Lagos or Nnamdi Azikiwe (ABV) Abuja international airports. For movements within Lagos and Abuja, Uber is the recommended platform.

If you land at the Lagos International airport and are heading to Uyo the same day, you will need to get an Uber from the International airport to the Domestic airport, so factor in about 1-2 hours for that transfer.


Getting to Uyo

There are daily flights directly from the Murtala Muhammed (LOS) Lagos or Nnamdi Azikiwe (ABV) Abuja domestic airports to the Victor Attah (QUO) Uyo airport.

Ibom Air is the most reliable and frequent airline for this route, but you could also see some flights to Uyo on Air Peace. Domestic flight schedules typically become available about 1-2 months before the travel date, so they need to be booked closer to that time.

The airport is about 20-30 minutes from the city, but there will be pick-up services made available to all guests flying in.


Mobile Network & Internet

Mobile network and internet

You could either roam your international line, get a Nigerian e-sim on Airalo (which I have a ref code for) or on your preferred e-sim platform, or you could buy a Nigerian sim-card upon arrival at the airport with your passport.

Ride

Moving around

For all wedding events, there will be transportation services provided to all visiting guests.

However, for personal movements, the preferred form of transportation in Uyo is by booking a car or keke via the ride-hailing app, Bolt. There is also Uber available in Uyo, although the wait-time for this is longer, as there are fewer rides available.


Hotels

Where to stay

We would like for all our visiting guests to stay together or in really close proximity. To do this, we will be coordinating the accommodation for all visiting guests and will reach out to everyone that RSVPs to confirm attendance. But, if you would like to see some hotels in Uyo or would like to organize your accommodation separately, here are some hotels with their corresponding distances to the wedding reception venue:
