FAQs - booking Kenya flights

  • Which airlines offer the most frequent service between Kenya and Canada?

    Among the numerous large companies that offer flights linking Kenya and Canada, Qatar Airways is recognized as one of the most reputable. If you want to improve the dependability of your flights when travelling between Canada and Kenya, Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) is one of the greatest airport options to take into account. Flair Airlines, Air Canada, and WestJet are a few of the carriers that use this airfield as their main hub.

  • What airport should a visitor fly into if they want to enjoy frequent sporting events in Kenya?

    The best way to observe local sporting events when visiting Kenya is to fly into Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO). Most of Kenya's stadiums are in or nearby Nairobi City, the country's capital. Some excellent locations in Kenya to see your preferred local sporting events include Nairobi City Stadium and Nyayo National Stadium, especially on weekends. From NBO Airport you can reach these stadiums via rental cars, train, taxis, or buses. 

  • Do I need a visa to travel to Kenya?

    Canadian citizens are required to apply for a tourist visa prior to their arrival in Kenya. You can get an e-Visa by visiting the website of the Kenyan Department of Immigration Services. A single-entry visa costs 5,770 KES (51 CAD) and is valid for 90 days. Once your visa is approved, you should bring a printed copy with you to the airport. Be aware that your passport should be valid for at least 6 months beyond your expected departure date.

  • Are there direct flights to Kenya?

    While there are no direct flights from Canada to Kenya, many national carriers offer one-stop flights from Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) and Montreal-Pierre Trudeau International Airport (YUL). Most flights include a layover at one of Europe's major airports. Kenya Airways offers a direct flight from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in New York to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, which might be a convenient option if you search for a cheap flight to New York.

  • Where should I fly to within Kenya?

    While Moi International Airport in Mombasa services some international flights to Europe, the vast majority of international flights to Kenya arrive at the main airport, Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi. If you are flying in from Canada, you will probably find better and cheaper connections to Nairobi.

  • I want to visit the Masai Mara. Which airport should I fly into?

    To visit Kenya's largest wildlife reserve, you can fly into one of several airports such as Mara Serena Airport (MRE), located in Masai Mara. Most connections depart from Wilson Airport which is the domestic airport in Nairobi, but you can also catch a flight from Mombasa if you are travelling from the coastal region.

  • How long is the flight to Kenya?

    An average direct flight from Canada to Kenya takes 24h 53m, covering a distance of 20514 km. The most popular route is Toronto - Nairobi with an average flight time of 16h 34m.

  • What is the cheapest flight to Kenya?

    The cheapest ticket to Kenya from Canada found in the last 72 hours was C$ 1,147. The most popular route is Toronto Pearson Intl to Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta Intl and the cheapest round-trip airline ticket found on this route in the last 72 hours was C$ 1,164.

  • What are the most popular destinations in Kenya?

    Based on KAYAK flight searches, the most popular destination is Mombasa (98% of total searches to Kenya). The next most popular destination is Ukunda (2%).

  • How does KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool help me choose the right time to buy?

    KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool uses historical data to determine whether the price for a given destination and date is likely to change within 7 days, so travellers know whether to wait or book now.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Kenya

  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest Kenya flight deals.
  • The majority of travelers from Canada arrive at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO), Kenya's main international entry point. The NBO Airport is perhaps the best airport to fly into if you want to explore more of Kenya's well-known towns and cities, including Kisumu, Nakuru, Ruiru, Kiambu, Thika, and Limuru.
  • Although Moi International Airport (MBA) is an alternative airport with regular flights to Kenya from Canada, the majority of commercial travellers opt to fly into NBO Airport. NBO Airport is a preferred airport for travelers on official commercial trips due to its proximity to Nairobi City, which acts as the country's capital and is home to the bulk of Kenya's large businesses' head offices.
  • The Nairobi city centre is accessible through bus number 34, which is run by Citi Hoppa, which departs from the airport's bus terminal located halfway between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. The green and yellow color scheme and slightly larger size of the buses make them easier to identify than the common "matatu" buses in Kenya.
  • Most flights from Canada to Kenya include a layover at a major European airport. Due to its economic and historic relationship with the European Union, many cheap flights to Kenya are available from European countries such as the UK, Germany and the Netherlands.
  • While some resorts and national parks in Kenya accept U.S. dollars, in most places you will be required to pay with cash, using the Kenyan shilling. Be aware that it is easier and more favourable to exchange U.S. dollars, British pounds or euros in Kenya.
  • Kenya is mostly a cash-driven society, even though some of the high-end resorts and hotels accept credit cards. You can use your credit card to withdraw cash from ATMs, which are readily available in airports and in the major cities such as Nairobi and Mombasa.
  • If you are planning a trip to Kenya's famous Diani beach, consider flying into Ukunda Airport (UKA), which is located approximately 3 km from Diani beach. Air Kenya offers daily connections to and from Wilson Airport (WIL) in Nairobi.
  • To visit Tsavo East National Park, consider flying into Moi International Airport (MOI) in Mombasa, which is closer to the park than Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) in Nairobi. You can then travel to the park by car. Tsavo East is about 3h 30min away from Mombasa.
  • To get to Malindi's marine reserve and Watamu beach, you can either drive along the Coastal Highway from Mombasa or fly directly into Malindi Airport (MYD) from Nairobi.

The experience was good and the flight departed on time and landed early

Great experience overall. Check in at Austin was congested as they only have about 6 check in kiosks, one was broken, and there was a lot of Spring Break travelers.

It was a Red-Eye flight so was not comfortable enough to sleep, but seat was as expected. Crew was great and in-flight entertainment was excellent. Flight was smooth

Bag drop off was slow and annoying. Only 2 agents at the entire delta desk, and no one directing traffic for what line to be in, many confused people slowed down the process. Boarding was fine. Seats in Delta comfort plus were fine. Snacks were great! Definitely a bonus. The entertainment system was awful — old, slow, not responsive, and completely unable to play games due to some kind of error. But on the other hand, thank you to Delta for the free WiFi. That made it better.

TERRIBLE, THEY ARE THE MOST DISORGANIZE AIRLINE A HAVE KNOWN

I received the two differed meals: chicken and pasta. I asked and I received. I am anti-wasting food!

I appreciate the crew and their hard work. In Atlanta, the ticket counter had 1 woman to do all the work. She was amazing. People weren’t happy they had to check their carry on roller bags, but she handled them well. She was cordial and worked quickly to get the passengers boarded.

I have to say that Delta has improved their service radically since I flew with them last. I purposely have avoided flying with them for years owing to absolutely terrible service. This is no longer the case, I am glad to say.

Ran out of my choice of main course in BClass. Kind of weird combo for substitute.

No Wi-Fi the entire trip Despite booking a flight that said it had Wi-Fi

Did not find the wheelchair that supposed to assist and went to a long queue for transit security chk which was very slow and boarding desk wanted to close counter although that they knew that I am minutes away because of their mistake of not providing the wheelchair.

They charge me for luggage which is was included on the ticket

Good aorcraft 777 but Worst food ever Breakfast was a bû’with matonnaise… Staff was nice but invisible most of the flight

Food could have been better especially the breakfast. Overall it was a good flight

No birding was given for next trip on same carrier, food was very moderate.

Lost luggage, 2 bags were badly damaged and one of the bags came open.

A couple of minor delays in boarding but very professional and efficient staff.

Crew was professional. Boarding has few seats . Since the plane was not full would have been nice to change seat on the internet

The crew was great and handled our unexpected detour with proactive communication.

My seat was so uncomfortable, and the headrest was broken. Very very disappointing for the price I paid.

The gate was changed at the very last moment and no one informed us. The flight was one hour late and the screen broken, the remote control not working. One toilet was out of order . the other toilets were also not totally functioning, because the washbasin was plugged and the water couldn't flow away.

The food could be better, the beef was quite tough. The crew were friendly and helpful on this flight, which has not being my experience on other Ethiopian flights.

The crew were extremely unfriendly. The plane was dirty and the entertainment system did not work, so they did not even give out earphones to anyone.

The flight was one hour late. The food is mediocre and the screen was broken

It is just ok, the sits are very uncomfortable, the temperature too low and there weren’t blankets. The food is mediocre and there are no screens to watch movies.

Seat in front of my wife was broken so it reclined further than normal and without having to push the recline button so my wife had absolutely no room the entire 17 hour flight. My seat was broken and wouldn't recline at all. Also.. my tray table was sticky and dirty right away before I even used it. Also...the floor in the back of the plane from our row of seats on back was totally soaked and both times we landed water came rushing out of the food/servant area like a flood onto the same already wet carpet. It got everything wet that was placed around our feet...including our shoes and socks.

Flight was smooth but unnecessary long because we had to refuel at FCO Rome. Air hostesses service and response to call light could be better. Both planes were old with broken seat arms and toilets. Why Africans had to be given the farthest Gates is what baffles me and why we have to pay for Aisle seats I found really strange. Is there ever an end to ripping people off even after paying over $2300 for one seat.

Food was horrible. Our flight was not comfortable due to turbulence, seats was not comfortable, Very tight barely can not move anywhere.

The check in staff was amazing. Best customer service! The plane was old! My entertainment on the first flight didn't work at all, in my seat or in the seat next to me. The bathroom doors were old and troublesome. One of the bathrooms, the whole sink panel was broken. Everything felt old and falling apart. The airline stewardesses were amazing and quite hospitable. When there were delays, they kept us well informed. Transit was GREAT! I wasn't sure how I would make it to my next flight in 1 1/2 hours but the security lines were short and efficient. The C gates in Addis Ababa were CROWDED! That whole space downstairs was too crowded and challenging to manuever. I usually fly Ethiopian within Africa and was interested to see how the experience would be intercontinental. Overall, I would choose it again if it was cheaper than Delta/Air France or Lufthansa/KLM. I wouldn't make it a first choice if the prices were the same because the planes are so old! The food and entertainment also weren't as good. Good selection of movies but as I mentioned, on the first flight they didn't work at all (I slept so it was okay) and the 2nd flight it was glitchy. All in all, I didn't hate it but it would be a first choice only if it's cheaper.

The wifi service was really poor I try to use it the service was extremely poor if that could be improved that will go a long way

Paid an extra USD 100 for so-called Comfort seats. All of these (the bulkhead seats) had parents with babies and infants who were screaming much of the time. One mother even decided to change nappies on the seat. This was anything but comfort!

Front section of economy cabin is better than rear. Paid for seats selected.

Good flight. Paid for seats sat the frront section of the economy. Better than rear cabin.

Flight was delayed for 9 hours. We finally arrived ved at 0435hrs instead of 1950hrs the previous day. No compensation was provided.

Apart from delay of 3 hrs in Nairobi for onward flight to Dar all fine. Looked like operational issues caused it.

I booked a round trip flight and boarded a Kenya Airways trip from New York (JFK) to Nairobi (JKIA). First flight from New York to Nairobi was uneventful with no issues. However, the return flight was beyond disappointing. To begin with I had paid an extra $60 each for premium seats (me and my wife) in economy aisle 15 (B & A). However, upon settling down in the middle seat, I noticed that the controller had been ripped off meaning I would not have access to some of the seat functionalities like the individual lighting etc. I proceeded to alert a flight attendant that the controller was missing and she politely responded to me by telling me if I need anything, to use my wife’s seat controller (on the window seat) to call for assistance and I would be assisted accordingly. I was surprised by the response that she gave as it felt like my comfort and request for a service that I paid for was undermined, but nonetheless I opted to play it nice and kept my calm. After this I engaged in a conversation with a passenger (Caucasian / White male) who sat next to me on the aisle seat. In the process of having this conversation I asked him if he had paid for his seat. He went ahead to politely tell me that he had been moved from a seat in the back by one of the flight attendants and had not paid any extra fees. During this conversation, he noticed that the charging docks were not working and he needed to charge his iPad to watch his Netflix show (it was on pause). Alarmed by this, he went ahead and flagged one of the flight attendants who without wasting any time acted astonished and as fast as lightning was able to find him a better seat a few rows in front. Please note, all the charging plugs were not working for the three seats. In summary, below are the reasons for the low rating: 1. Charging for a broken seat: Kenya Airways should not charge for a defective seat. If a seat is defective and is paid for, the airlines should work out a way to either refund the customer or move the customer to a better seat – regardless of skin color. 2. Below Par Customer Service: Do not debilitate a customer’s request especially when a paid for service is not delivered – regardless of skin color. Assuming that I am comfortable with having to either keep alerting the flight attendant or relying on my wife’s seat to perform some of the functionality I may need is ridiculous. 3. Biasness / Inequality / Prejudiced Behavior: The Caucasian/ White male was treated with more favor. Not only was he moved around to make sure he was comfortable (free of charge) but all his complaints were resolved immediately without any hesitance. On the contrary, I being a black man of African descent who had paid an additional premium for his seat, I was completely ignored and told to settle for what I got.

It has been 1 week since arriving at my destination and I still have not recieved my kite surfing bags. Office will not communicate properly on location or when my bags will arrive. No advice on what to do on luggage that has not arrived in over a week. Simply not happy with Kenya airways at the moment.

Excellent. They canceled our flight & put us up for the night. Then upgraded us. We are impressed

The flight attendants on this flight were incredible! One even gave me her own dinner when my special meal order wasn’t transferred due to a flight delay! She insisted and I was so grateful. That is going above and beyond! The issue I had with the flight was with Lufthansa support. I missed my connection due to a flight delay and they wouldn’t rebook online, only in person. This took a lot of time and visits to the airport waiting for a Lufthansa agent to arrive 5 hours later than posted and almost paying full-fare price for the new flights and refusal to add my special meal orders. It made for a challenging journey home and I didn’t feel valued as a customer.

If my flight from Heathrow to Nairobi had not been cancelled I would’ve been in kisumu to fly back! And I have still not had my refund! So you have my cash and I’ve got nothing in return. Wonderful!

Entertainment catalog certainly needs an upgrade to include better and latest content. Food was not good at all - they need to cook something edible. Five starts to the crew and on tim performance of British airways though!!

I travelled on biz class and f there is no water in the toilette to wash my hands I would expect to have this indicated somehow and not just finding out when I'm there expecting to be able to wash my hands and teeth. Also this is in general that it is always so rushy at the end of these kind of long flights. It is like we are sitting there for 9 hours and the last 1.5 hours just feels like I have time for nothing. Because food comes and at the same time we are close to destination everyone tries to pack their stuff and go to toilette and eat and everything :))) not that like I would know a good solution here I just wanted to raise this :)

Staff , Comfort and Food were excellent. My individual lamp did not work so I could not read, neither my novel nor the menu. I found it impossible to check in online. The website sent you round and round a loop. The only way to break the loop was to view and change your advance personal details.

Very poor, they didn't want to attend to me until I missed my flight, my bags are missing

Great service and air hostesses, took care of all activities very well and smooth

It was nice and smooth from boarding to landing. Flight crew was wonderful and very professional.

Messed about all day by airport staff. BA staff onsite refused to help, while we were with airport police regarding a theft. Had to pay £300 for new flights, and the new flight was 3 hours late leaving. Horrific

This flight had seats that were more comfortable than the trans-Atlantic flight I had come on. Boarding, however, was atrocious. There was no point in boarding groups since everyone ended up on the same bus to get on the plane. And the bus ride took forever to get to the plane. The snacks can barely even qualify as snacks. Make sure you bring your own or eat before getting on,

Lounge access restricted due to capacity. Boarding long and free for all. Good crew service Food awful.

Crammed seats for a 9 hour flight. Entertainment selections very limited
