Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Nairobi Airport to IST last minute?
Booking your flight from Jomo Kenyatta Intl. Airport (NBO) to IST last minute could save you cash if you're lucky to find a real bargain. However, fares generally don't get cheaper closer to the departure date. If you take a wait-and-see approach, flights could also be booked up or the best seats gone (hello, middle seat!). If you don't want to risk it, book well in advance of when you want to leave. In fact, some of the best deals are available on Expedia up to a year in advance. If your favorite airline hasn't released its fares yet, check back regularly as deals are updated on Expedia constantly.
What airports do you fly into for Istanbul from Nairobi?
With Istanbul (IST), Sabiha Gokcen Intl. Airport (SAW) and Ataturk Intl. Airport (IST) to pick from, making your way from Nairobi to Istanbul is no sweat. The city's main hub, Istanbul (IST), is about 32 kilometers northwest of the downtown area. As well as ticket costs, consider things like train or bus options from the airport and the distance to your hotel when deciding where to fly into. Get your Istanbul trip off on the right foot by discovering Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia.
Can I change the date of my flight from NBO to IST?
