๐ข Terminal Information
Murtala Muhammed International Airport operates with separate terminal buildings requiring ground transfers for connections, serving as Nigeria's primary international gateway and busiest airport. The main international terminal handles flights throughout Africa, Europe, North America, and Asia, featuring comprehensive check-in facilities with various international carriers, security screening with enhanced procedures reflecting regional security requirements, immigration processing with separate counters for Nigerian citizens, ECOWAS nationals, and foreign visitors requiring visas with yellow fever vaccination verification mandatory for many travelers. The departure areas include duty-free shopping featuring Nigerian products including traditional textiles, wood carvings, and local crafts, along with international brands and electronics, plus dining options showcasing Nigerian cuisine including jollof rice, suya, and plantain alongside international restaurants and fast food. The domestic terminal MM2 serves flights throughout Nigeria including Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and Kano, featuring streamlined domestic processing, security screening designed for domestic travel requirements, and basic amenities including local food courts and shops. Connection passengers typically must exit and re-enter through security and immigration, requiring collection of checked baggage and re-check-in, making transfers complex and time-consuming. Both terminals feature essential amenities including medical facilities, currency exchange for Nigerian naira, prayer rooms, children's areas, and ground transportation coordination including official taxi services from designated ranks, ride-sharing options, and bus services to various Lagos districts, with enhanced security measures throughout the airport complex and lengthy arrival procedures including health screenings and customs processing that require patience and proper documentation including yellow fever certificates for international travelers.
