Flights to Nairobi

Fares to Nairobi and beyond, quoted by a specialist.

Fly into Nairobi and you land at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO). This page is about the city: the airport, the way into town, and the best time to go. For entry rules and the wider country, see the Kenya links at the end of this page.

From the airport to Nairobi

JKIA is southeast of the city center and rush-hour traffic can make the trip long. App-based ride-hailing such as Uber and Bolt, or a pre-arranged driver, are common choices.

Many safari and short domestic flights use Wilson Airport (WIL), a different airport from JKIA.

Cheap flights to Nairobi: the best time to fly

Fares peak from mid-June to August and from about December 10 to January 5. The long rains fall from late March to May, and a shorter rainy season comes around October and November.

Flying to Nairobi: quick answers.

How do I find cheap flights to Nairobi?

Tell us your route and dates, and a specialist compares fares across airlines, nearby dates and connecting routes for your trip to Nairobi, then replies with a quote, often the same day. Being flexible by a few days, and avoiding the busiest weeks, usually gives the most options.

When are flights to Nairobi cheapest?

Fares peak from mid-June to August and from about December 10 to January 5. The long rains fall from late March to May, and a shorter rainy season comes around October and November. Fares change daily, so there is no single best date. A specialist checks the days either side of yours.

Can I get a one-way or round-trip flight to Nairobi?

Yes. We quote round-trip, one-way and multi-city trips to Nairobi. A round trip is often the simplest on international routes, but it is worth asking us to price both, especially if your return date is open.

Are there student flights or student airfare discounts to Nairobi?

We quote student-friendly fares to Nairobi with flexible dates around term breaks, and we look for any student fares the airlines offer. Availability depends on the airline and route, so ask for a quote with your school dates. On eligible bookings you can also pay over time.

Do you offer group or missionary flights to Nairobi?

Yes. Group pricing starts at 10 travelers, and a coordinator can request one quote for a church, mission or humanitarian team heading to Nairobi. Every traveler can pay for their own seat. Smaller teams still get a specialist quote.

Can I pay for my flight to Nairobi over time?

On eligible bookings you can choose to pay in monthly installments at checkout. The provider decides eligibility and shows the exact terms before you agree, and a credit check may apply.

Do you compare prices and show flight deals for Nairobi?

A TravelSource specialist compares fares for your exact route and dates rather than showing one “from” price, because fares to Nairobi change with the season and the day of the week. We can also add a stay, a car or an airport transfer to the same quote.

Can my team or family pay over time for Nairobi?

On eligible bookings you can pay in monthly installments through Affirm. Every traveler pays for their own seat, and Affirm shows the terms at checkout. A credit check may apply.

Do you arrange hotels, cars and transfers in Nairobi?

Yes. Add stays, cars, transfers or travel cover when you request your quote and our travel desk arranges everything together.
