Why does OP require a transit visa?

You would have to make enquires via carries that travels to your intended locations.
British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, KLM/Air France etc etc etc
You could also look into breaking flights, board medview to London, then look into other carriers from London.
NB: My only concern is your budget........... For this kind Johnny Andrew Ajala waka, pocket must heavy small.........
All your N320k would give you is about £630

My bad


Oh sorry I've forgotten he has a UK visa

320k cannot even get u to london, not to talk of maryland..wat r u smoking? u funny die...u no get money n u wan dey juncket. Lagos jfk is 760k as at now on the cheapest airline, turkish n egypt

Try Arik to London and Newyork, then take a local flight to bwi. (No sure if they fly from London to Newyork though)Since you have both countries visa. Or get Arik for Los-lhr-Los. And Virgin for lhr-bwi-lhr. That budget you have May not work.

Check out travelstart.com.ng if you only want to pay in Naira. I find that they offer the best in terms of international flights when compared to local online travel platforms. They seem to also use interbank rates instead of mallam rate...I checked for your route on there and it is hella expensive. This naira/dollar wahala is just ridiculous.

If you have $$ see https://www.kayak.com/flights/LOS-LON/2016-10-03/LON-BWI/2016-10-17/BWI-LOS/2016-10-31 It is way cheaper than the offerings on Nigerian ticket platforms.
I checked your route using random dates in October/November and arrived at $1181...this is about 460k at a rate of N400=$1. If you are able to get a lower rate amount (Stanbic is in the 300s), you would be able to save some $$$
Sometimes, ticket prices get cheaper midweek and October is a sweet spot because it is offpeak season, so if you can afford it, buy it now before the dollar wahala gets even worse.

but that doesn't warrant the insult sir, if you were in his shoes you would have come here to do the same. Let's be mature and polite whenever we see appealing and humble request sir. Shalom
