Tips & Warnings

• All phone numbers include the United States international prefix "011." When calling internationally from outside the United States, check which prefix to use. All country codes are within parentheses and begin with a "+" sign.
• Booking online gives you greater access to seasonal and combination discounts.
• Remember to call to confirm your flight with Associated Aviation. The airline asks that you confirm that the flight you booked online is still scheduled five days before you are to travel.
• Understand that Associated Aviation has limited passenger service, running flights only between Lagos and Benin. If you want to travel to other destinations in Nigeria and beyond, be prepared to charter a small craft.
• Plan ahead. There is a deadline for booking (5 days before a flight), so very last-minute travel is not possible.
• Associated Aviation cannot support those passengers with special needs. If you are disabled in any way, it's a good idea to look for an alternate airline.
• If you are traveling with small children, be sure to contact the Associated Airlines office first to verify what ticketing is necessary for them. It can vary depending on the destination of the flight.
