Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from NBO to ZNZ last minute?
Booking your flight from Jomo Kenyatta Intl. Airport (NBO) to ZNZ last minute could save you a nice sum if you're lucky enough to find a good deal. However, fares generally don't get cheaper closer to the departure date. If you choose to wait, flights could also be booked up or the best seats taken (we hope you like the middle seat!). If you don't want to hedge your bets, book well in advance of when you want to leave. In fact, some of the best deals are available on Expedia up to 12 months in advance. If your preferred airline hasn't released its airfares yet, check back regularly as deals are updated on Expedia all the time.
What airports do you fly into for Zanzibar Town from Nairobi?
You can journey from Nairobi to Zanzibar Town through Zanzibar Intl. Airport (ZNZ) and Julius Nyerere Intl. Airport (DAR). Arrive at Zanzibar Intl. Airport (ZNZ) and you'll be around 6 kilometers southeast of the center of Zanzibar Town. Check in to your new digs and then sample some of this city's famous sights, such as Shangani Beach and Prison Island.
What are the most popular departure times for flights from NBO to ZNZ?
The most popular departure times for trips from Nairobi Airport to ZNZ fall between 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM on Kenya Airways. One helpful tip is to jet off in the morning. The earlier you take off, the better your odds of a delay-free flight with less air traffic in the skies.
