Flights to Kenya From Heathrow - How to Get Them at a Discount
Here’s the lowdown on how to get cheap flights from England to Kenya.
Check Amsterdam.
First and foremost, the main hub to Kenya is Amsterdam, so start there. Try your best to book flights with KLM, which is the main Dutch air carrier. Furthermore, if you have membership with the Flying Blue program, you will receive frequent flyer miles with additional airlines, such as Qantas, Air France, Delta and Continental Japan Air.
Once you have a good idea on the dates, contact a wholesale consolidator such as Skylink, which often offers wholesale bargains of flights.
Try flights from Heathrow as well as Manchester.
Seeing that it is a short flight to Amsterdam, consider alternative airports such as Manchester that may get you there for less. For flight status, check out manchesterairport.co.uk .
Avoid the high season.
December and January are the most expensive times to fly to Kenya, and you can save a pretty penny by flying in late November, thereby taking advantage of the shoulder season fares. If you are looking for a safari, try and fly in around May, as the high season is July.
Better yet, visit Tanzania for a safari.
Those who have had the good fortune of visiting both Kenya and Tanzania always prefer the latter (very similar to people preferring New Zealand over Australia). Not only are more animals, there are less people and a more open atmosphere (you can even take your own car in!).
Follow this advice and you’ll be able to realize great savings on your flight to Kenya.
