Alaska Airlines Flights from San Francisco to Lagos

Alaska Airlines on this route

San Francisco is a Alaska Airlines hub, so Alaska Airlines typically offers several daily departures on SFO–LOS, with nonstop service where demand supports it and connections through its other hubs otherwise. The nonstop flight time is about 15h 35m.

Fare classes available: Saver, Main, Premium Class, First Class. No change fees on Main and First fares; fare difference applies.

The lowest one-way fare we have on record for this route is $1,331 on Alaska. Fares like that usually show up on off-peak days and for travel booked a few weeks out; an agent can check whether a similar fare is available for your dates.

Because Delta Air Lines treats Lagos as a hub, this pairing tends to have frequent departures throughout the day. Alaska Airlines and British Airways also compete here, which keeps fares in check.

This is a 7,801 miles journey, about 15h 35m in the air on a nonstop, which puts it firmly in long-haul territory: baggage allowances, seat selection fees, and stopover options change the real cost of the ticket as much as the base fare does.

When to fly

For long-haul travel, mid-January to March and the shoulder months of October and November usually bring the lowest fares; June through August and the December holidays cost the most.

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday departures are usually the cheapest days on long-haul routes; Friday and Sunday are the most expensive. Early-morning and late-evening flights are often priced below the midday departures.

For international travel, booking two to five months ahead usually gets the best fares; inside three weeks, prices rise sharply. Peak-season travel in summer and over the December holidays should be booked as early as possible.
