For Nigerians looking to explore the United States, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) stands out as one of the most efficient gateways when flying with Delta Air Lines. The world’s busiest airport – also celebrating its centennial year in 2025 alongside Delta – is the ideal entry point for Nigerian travelers.

Positioned in the southeastern United States, ATL offers one-stop access to more of the country. This strategic location makes it an ideal hub for international travelers coming from Nigeria, facilitating quick and easy connections to major cities across the U.S.

Delta offers daily direct flights from Atlanta (ATL) to Lagos (LOS). This non- stop service provides Nigerian travelers with an opportunity to bypass multiple layovers, saving time and reducing travel-related stress. The direct route on Delta's Airbus 330-200 aircraft ensures a comfortable onboard experience, making it a convenient option for both business and leisure travelers.
