Lagos, Nigeria · Africa
Ikeja’s split-campus hub: T1 is closed, international lives in T2 plus a temporary hall, domestic is MMA2 or GAT, Bolt is back and Uber is gone — 7.14 million is 2024 traffic, not T2’s 14-million capacity leftover.
An editorial 0–10 score. The overall is exactly the weighted sum of six traveler categories — not a Google rating and not a poll.

Most important tips
A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.
FAAN asks international passengers to arrive at least 3 hours out during the T1 rehab. Air Peace international counters open 6 hours before departure and close 90 minutes out; boarding closes 20 minutes.
Domestic Air Peace desks open 3 hours and close 45 minutes (boarding 15). Regional desks open 4 hours and close 60 minutes (boarding 20). Web check-in on the Air Peace T&Cs is 24 hours–1 hour domestic and 24 hours–3 hours regional/international. Confirm the hall at flyairpeace.com/departure-arrivals/ — Air Peace splits GAT and MMA2 by route.
International check-in is either T2 or the temporary departure hall next to T2. Arrivals stay at T2. Domestic is MMA2 or GAT / MMA1. There is no airside walk between international and domestic.
The temporary hall is 8,000 m², 20 desks, 3 gates, peak 1,500. First passenger 2 Mar 2026 on Middle East Airlines; Ethiopian, KLM and Air France also used it at opening. Follow the airline, not a 1979 T1 photo. Skywalk T1–T2 is not live.
FAAN does not publish an airside fountain map or a bottle tariff. Atelier / Air Peace / MMA2 VIP pour water once you are in. MMA2 landside food court is the certainty buy for a sealed bottle.
Skip leftover SEO naira bottle prices. The 2019 PESP Candy / Barcelos photos are MMA2, not the closed 1979 T1.
Atelier is the T2 international card lounge (4.2 from 386 PP reviews, max 3 h, under-12 free). MMA2 VIP is domestic 3F. Gabfol is GAT Arik wing only, 07:00–17:00. Air Peace Executive Lounge is F/J on a T2 Air Peace boarding pass.
Do not walk SDS E-Wing, Oasis D-Wing, Skyway, BA or AF/KLM rooms as live — those sat in T1. FAAN says unnamed VIP rooms exist in the temporary hall; they are not named on Priority Pass this pass.

Murtala Muhammed International Airport and the Lagos city center
3 ways into the city, compared on time, cost, and luggage.
4 lounges with access rules, hours, and verdicts. 2 rated worth it.
Do not quote Wikipedia leftover 5,689,234 (2021) or 6,526,023 (2022), the national leftover 4.33 million, T2 leftover 14 million, or post-rehab leftover 17.6 million as 2024 traffic. FAAN’s 2024 split is 4,134,211 domestic + 3,006,102 international = 7.14 million.
6 rated amenities — food, Wi-Fi, quiet spots, family, and sleep.
Where to refill for free, and where a bottle costs the least airside.
Editorial and traveler reviews — what people actually complain about.
Murtala Muhammed International Airport and the Lagos city center
Compare prepaid private transfers to Lagos — useful overnight, with luggage, or when you want a locked-in fare before you land.
Live e-hail at FAAN-managed airports after 27 August 2026.
Tip: Typical ₦15,000–35,000 / 20–90 min to Victoria Island; Ikeja ₦5,000–15,000 / 15–40 min — request landside, not the arrivals doors. Uber exited Nigeria on 2 Sep 2026.
Signed FAAN car-hire rank. ACHRAMS is the rank system, not an e-hail app.
Tip: Typical airport-taxi leftover runs higher than Bolt on the same Victoria Island hop — still the luggage pick if you have no data. FAAN does not publish a naira rate card this pass.
800 covered spaces with a bridge into Bi-Courtney MMA2.
Tip: Official mma2.ng tariff: saloon ₦3,500 first hour then ₦2,500/hour; overnight ₦50,000 + extra hours from 1 Apr 2026. This is not the FAAN international car park.
Domestic-only GAT / MMA1 room in the Arik Air wing, immediately left after security. Priority Pass 07:00–17:00. Access is only for passengers departing General Aviation Terminal 1. A MMA2 or T2 boarding pass will not reach it airside. Complimentary alcohol is beer only.
Full access guide
Add a photoMMA2 domestic card lounge. After 2F security, turn right into the main hall and take the lift or stairs to 3F. Priority Pass 06:30–23:55 (Thursday listing dies 23:50), children under 2 free, two complimentary drinks, prayer room. 3.7 from 122 PP reviews. This is not GAT and not T2.
Full access guide
Add a photoAir Peace’s first airport lounge, opened 14 February 2026 in international Terminal 2. About 39 seats. Complimentary for the airline’s first and business passengers. Not Priority Pass, not DragonPass. Do not invent a walk-up tariff — the airline did not publish one.
Full access guide
Add a photoIndependent T2 card lounge, first floor after immigration and security. Priority Pass lists 00:00–23:59, max stay 3 hours, children under 12 free, 4.2 from 386 reviews. International and transit only. Showers are not on the live PP facility list this pass — do not promise them. SDS / Oasis were T1 rooms and are not this lounge.

Add a photoT2 airside 1F after immigration. Priority Pass 00:00–23:59, max 3 hours, under-12 free, 4.2 from 386 reviews.
Airline’s first lounge, opened 14 Feb 2026 in T2. About 39 seats for Air Peace first and business. Not Priority Pass.
Landside MMA2 kitchen (Candy / Barcelos in 2019 photos) and the certainty sealed-bottle buy before domestic security.
Cleared at FAAN airports after 27 Aug 2026. Typical ₦15,000–35,000 / 20–90 min to Victoria Island. Uber is not live.
800 covered spaces with a bridge to MMA2. Saloon ₦3,500 first hour, then ₦2,500/hour; overnight ₦50,000+ from 1 Apr 2026.
Domestic 3F after 2F security. Priority Pass 06:30–23:55, two complimentary drinks, prayer room. GAT Gabfol is a different building.
International is T2 or the temporary hall next door. Domestic is MMA2 or GAT. T1 is closed.
FAAN closed the 1979 international hall for a 22-month CCECC rebuild after the 23 February 2026 fire. Arrivals stay at T2. Some departures use the 8,000 m² temporary hall (20 desks, 3 gates). Air Peace splits GAT and MMA2 by route — check the airline page, not a 2019 T1 photo.
T2 (2022) is a real international hall; the temp hall is next door with a covered walkway.
A wrong-terminal hop between international and domestic is about 1 km landside with no FAAN shuttle.
Visa on arrival ended 1 May 2025. Bring an eVisa, landing card, health declaration and yellow-fever certificate.
Apply at evisa.immigration.gov.ng. Landing/exit cards at lecard.immigration.gov.ng. Health declaration at healthapp.ncdc.gov.ng. UK FCDO: yellow-fever certificate required; infants 8 months or younger and adults 61 or older are exempt. 48-hour airside TWOV is not a Lagos city visit.
eVisa is the live short-visit product.
There is no VOA desk that will save a missing approval.
Bolt is live at FAAN airports. Uber exited Nigeria on 2 September 2026. No metro.
Typical Bolt is ₦15,000–35,000 / 20–90 min to Victoria Island and ₦15,000 is not a FAAN card — it is a traveler range. ACHRAMS is the official taxi rank, not an e-hail app. MMA2 parking is Bi-Courtney: saloon ₦3,500 first hour.
Bolt was cleared 27 August 2026 after the ACHRAMS disruption.
Uber will not open. Red Line leftover as airport rail is leftover-wrong.
Priority Pass is Atelier (T2), MMA2 VIP, or Gabfol (GAT). Air Peace Executive Lounge is not PP.
Atelier is 1F after T2 immigration, 00:00–23:59, max 3 hours. MMA2 VIP is 3F on a MMA2 boarding pass. Gabfol is GAT Arik wing, 07:00–17:00. SDS and Oasis were T1 rooms and are not live.
Atelier is a true 24-hour PP listing with a 4.2 score.
A T2 boarding pass cannot walk to Gabfol or MMA2 VIP airside.
Atelier Lounge 1F after T2 immigration and security, or Air Peace Executive Lounge in T2
Sealed or poured water once you are in Atelier or the Air Peace room. Quality pick if you already hold access.
MMA2 VIP Lounge, 3rd floor after 2nd-floor security
Domestic card-lounge water if your boarding pass is MMA2. Gabfol in GAT is a different building.
Landside MMA2 food court near Candy and Barcelos before security
Certainty pick because FAAN and Bi-Courtney do not publish an airside fountain map or a bottle price. Skip leftover SEO naira figures.
