Business Class Lounges
Arik Air has four dedicated business class lounges: the ASL Premium Lounge in Lagos, The Shongololo Lounge in Johannesburg, The Skyteam Lounge in London, and the KLM Oasis Lounge in New York.
ASL Premium Lounge can be found in the Lagos Murtala Muhammed International Airport. The lounge includes a well stocked bar, a range of light snacks, television, and bathroom facilities including showers.
Domestic Flights
Arik Air fly to all corners of Nigeria with flights touching down in: Kaduna, Abuja, Yola, Port Harcourt, Calabar, Asaba, Kano, Warri, Lagos, Benin City, and Sokoto. So, no matter where you need to go, Arik Air should have you covered.
The flight routes are, however, centered around Lagos and Abuja. This means that you may have to catch a connecting flight to Lagos or Abuja on your way to your destination. This is more common on less popular routes.
International Flights
Arik Air routes also go beyond Nigeria’s border, connecting West and Central Africa. The airline has flights from Nigeria to: Abidjan in Ivory Coast, Accra in Ghana, Banjul in Gambia, Dakar in Senegal, Douala in Cameroon, and Freetown in Côte d’Ivoire.
