Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from NBO to JFK last minute?
When it comes to booking your flights, being organized pays off. While you may be able to find a last-minute deal on a NBO to JFK Airport flight, tickets usually don't get cheaper as the date of departure nears.

John F. Kennedy Intl. Airport (JFK), LaGuardia Airport (LGA) and Liberty Intl. Airport (EWR) are your options when taking off from Nairobi to New York. About 21 kilometers southeast of the center of New York, John F. Kennedy Intl. Airport (JFK) is the city's major hub. Keep in mind factors such as flight arrival and departure times and the distance to your hotel before you select an airport. Times Square and Broadway are two excellent attractions to check out when you reach your destination.
What are the most popular departure times for flights from Nairobi Airport to JFK Airport?
Between 11:00 PM - 0:00 AM is the busiest period for Kenya Airways flights from NBO to JFK Airport. Our recommendation? Book a flight that departs earlier in the day. With air traffic yet to build up, your odds of catching a delay-free flight are better.
Can I change the date of my flight from Nairobi Airport to John F. Kennedy Intl. Airport (JFK)?
Easily make changes to your Nairobi Airport to JFK Airport journey through the Expedia Trips portal. But before you make any amendments, browse the rules and restrictions in your itinerary to find out what the carrier will let you do and if charges apply.
