How we measured

• Every price is a fare SkyKoda could actually sell when we searched, as shown in SkyKoda's search: one adult, one way, economy, in naira, with taxes.
• Route prices come from SkyKoda's nightly searches for each route page (about 35 routes a night, each on dates about 1 to 10 weeks ahead).
• Prices by month of travel come from 4,574 daily price checks of the airlines SkyKoda tracks on its busiest international routes, for travel about 3, 6 and 13 weeks ahead.
• Some airlines do not sell through SkyKoda (for example British Airways, Virgin Atlantic and Emirates), so their fares are not included. Fares change many times a day; these are snapshots, not guaranteed prices.
