What is the cheapest month to fly to Kano?

On average, May is the cheapest month to fly to Kano, with return fares around £708, and November is another good-value option at about £710. Prices peak in December, when return tickets average around £1,285 because of higher demand. If your travel dates are flexible, shifting your trip into a cheaper month can save you a meaningful amount.

How far in advance should I book a flight to Kano?

To get a below-average price to Kano, aim to book roughly 26 weeks before departure, when fares tend to dip to around £710. Leaving it to the final week is usually the most expensive time to buy, costing about 61% more, as availability tightens. Booking extremely far ahead isn't always cheaper either, so a few weeks to a couple of months out is typically the sweet spot.

What are the most popular airlines flying to Kano?

The most popular airlines flying to Kano are Ethiopian Airlines, Egyptair, Saudia and Air Peace, based on how often they appear across searches for this route. Each offers different schedules, baggage allowances and service levels, so it's worth comparing them alongside price. A well-served airline usually means more departure options and easier rebooking if your plans change.

Which airlines provide the cheapest flights to Kano?

Recently, the cheapest return tickets to Kano were found on Egyptair (from £708) and Ethiopian Airlines (from £710), with Air Peace also competitive. The lowest-priced carrier can change from week to week depending on availability and demand. Comparing a few airlines for your exact dates is the best way to secure the cheapest fare.

Which cabin classes are available to Kano?

Flights to Kano are offered in Economy, Premium Economy, Business and First, though availability varies by airline. Economy is the most affordable option (from around £845), while premium cabins cost significantly more in exchange for extra space, baggage and comfort — Business fares start from about £2,366. Choose the cabin that best balances your budget with how much comfort you want on the journey.

How many flights fly to Kano per week?

The most flights to Kano are scheduled on Tuesday (around 4 per day), while Friday has the fewest (around 1) — roughly 21 flights a week in total. Travelling on a busier day gives you more choice of times and, often, better prices. If you can, avoid the quietest days when seats are more limited.

How long is the flight to Kano?

On average, a flight from London to Kano takes around 22h 57m, covering roughly 2,773 miles. Total travel time depends on whether you fly direct or connect, and which UK airport you leave from — from Manchester, for example, it's typically about 17h 50m. Direct services are the fastest, while connecting flights add the length of the layover.

What time do flights to Kano depart?

Flights to Kano depart London from as early as 7:40 AM (arriving 12:20 PM) right through to a latest departure of 10:20 PM (arriving 7:25 PM). That spread lets you choose an early start to make the most of your first day, or a later flight if you'd rather not rush. Exact departure times vary by airline and day, so check the schedule for your specific dates.

What is the rainfall in Kano by month?

August is typically the wettest month in Kano, with around 221 mm of rain, while January is the driest at roughly 0 mm. If you'd rather avoid the wet season, planning your trip around the drier months makes for easier sightseeing. Either way, packing light rain gear for the wetter months is always worth doing.

What is the temperature in Kano by month?

Kano is warmest around May, when temperatures average about 31.4°C, and coolest around December at roughly 21.3°C. If you're chasing warm weather aim for the hotter months; if you prefer milder conditions, the cooler part of the year is more comfortable. Checking the forecast close to departure will help you pack right.

Are there direct flights from the UK to Kano?

No. Every routing from the UK to Kano involves at least one stop, most often through Doha, Cairo, Addis Ababa or Istanbul.

Which airlines fly from the UK to Kano?

Qatar Airways, EgyptAir, Ethiopian Airlines and Turkish Airlines all serve Kano via their hubs. You can also fly British Airways or Virgin Atlantic to Lagos or Abuja and connect on a Nigerian carrier such as Air Peace.

How long is the flight from London to Kano?

Allow around 11 to 16 hours in total, including the connection. Pure flying time is shorter, but layover length varies a lot between hubs.

When is the cheapest time to fly to Kano?

Fares are generally lower outside the December and mid-summer peaks. The When to book chart and price charts on this page show how prices move through the year.

Do UK travellers need a visa to visit Kano?

Yes. A visa is required for Nigeria for UK passport holders. Apply through Nigeria's official e-visa system before you travel and allow plenty of time.

How do I get from Kano airport to the city centre?

Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport is about 8km from the centre, roughly 15 to 25 minutes by road. Use a pre-booked hotel car or an airport taxi and agree the fare before you leave.

Do I need vaccinations to travel to Kano?

A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for entry to Nigeria. Antimalarial medication and up-to-date routine vaccinations are also recommended – check with a travel clinic several weeks ahead.

About flights to Kano

Overview

Kano is the largest city in northern Nigeria and one of West Africa's oldest continuously inhabited places – a Hausa trading capital that grew wealthy on the trans-Saharan caravan routes centuries ago. Today it is a busy commercial and manufacturing hub, but travellers still come for the ancient walls, the craft workshops and one of the great market cultures of the Sahel. It is a rewarding stop for anyone interested in history, textiles and traditional architecture.

Best time to fly to Kano

Kano has a hot, semi-arid climate with a long dry season from roughly October to May and a shorter rainy season between June and September. The most comfortable window is November to February, when the dry Harmattan wind brings cooler nights, though it also carries a Saharan dust haze. March to May is intensely hot. For fares, check the When to book chart above and the price charts on this page – the quieter shoulder months often pair reasonable weather with softer prices.

Airlines and routes

There are no direct flights from the UK to Kano, so you will connect through a hub. Qatar Airways (via Doha), EgyptAir (via Cairo), Ethiopian Airlines (via Addis Ababa) and Turkish Airlines (via Istanbul) are among the carriers serving Kano. Alternatively, fly a UK carrier such as British Airways or Virgin Atlantic to Lagos or Abuja and add a domestic hop with Air Peace or another Nigerian airline. From London expect a total journey of about 11–16 hours depending on the connection; from Manchester you will usually route through the same hubs for a broadly similar trip.

Things to do in Kano

Kano rewards curious travellers who enjoy history and craft traditions on foot.

Kurmi Market: A sprawling 15th-century market, long a centre for indigo cloth, leather and brassware.
Kofar Mata Dye Pits: Centuries-old indigo dye pits still worked by hand, among the oldest in Africa.
Gidan Makama Museum: Kano's history displayed inside a historic mud-built palace near the Emir's residence.
Kano City Walls and Dala Hill: Surviving stretches of the ancient earthen ramparts and gates, with views from the old settlement mound.
Great Mosque of Kano: The city's landmark central mosque, striking from the outside even if you cannot go in.

At Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport (KAN)

The airport lies about 8km north-west of the city centre, usually 15–25 minutes by road. There is no rail or metro link, so most visitors use a pre-booked hotel car, a car hire desk or an airport taxi – agree the fare before you set off. Traffic builds through the day, so allow extra time heading back for your return flight.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Kano

Book roughly two to five months ahead; last-minute fares to Nigeria are rarely cheap.
Fly midweek and avoid the December and mid-summer peaks, when diaspora demand pushes prices up.
Use flexible-date search and compare hubs – Doha, Cairo, Addis Ababa and Istanbul – as the cheapest routing shifts month to month.
Check the When to book and price charts on this page before you commit.

Travel essentials

UK passport holders need a visa for Nigeria – apply through the official Nigeria e-visa system before you travel, and make sure your passport has at least six months' validity and a blank page. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for entry. Malaria is present, so speak to your GP or a travel clinic about antimalarials and routine jabs well before departure. The currency is the Nigerian naira (NGN); carry some cash, as card acceptance is patchy outside larger hotels. Do check the latest FCDO travel advice for Kano State before booking, as advisories can affect your travel insurance.

Baggage

Baggage & hand-luggage allowance for flights to Kano

Your allowance to Kano depends on the airline and the fare you book. The table below shows typical long-haul allowances so you know roughly what to expect — always confirm the exact limits with your airline before you fly.

Typical hand and checked baggage allowance by fare type for flights to Kano.
Fare type	Hand baggage	Checked baggage
Basic / Light economy	1 small under-seat bag	Usually none — add for a fee
Standard economy	1 cabin bag + 1 personal item	Typically 1 × 23 kg
Premium economy	1–2 cabin bags + personal item	Typically 2 × 23 kg
Business / First	2 cabin bags + personal item	Typically 2 × 32 kg

Indicative only. Allowances vary by airline, route and fare — always check your airline's baggage policy.

Packing & baggage tips

Full-service carriers (e.g. British Airways, Turkish Airlines, KLM) usually include a checked bag on long-haul economy fares; basic/low-cost fares often don't.
Cabin (hand) bag size is commonly around 56 × 45 × 25 cm — confirm your airline's limit before you pack.
Liquids in hand luggage must be in containers of 100 ml or less, inside one clear resealable bag.
Weigh your bags at home — airport excess-baggage fees are far higher than pre-booked allowances.
Extra or heavier bags are almost always cheaper added online in advance than at the airport.
