Flights to Mombasa

Kenya is a major tourist destination. Thousands of travelers come to the country from North America, the Middle East, Europe, Asia, Australia, and other parts of Africa. Typically, there are two ways to fly into Mombasa: take a flight to Jomo Kenyatta International airport in Nairobi and then grab a connecting flight onto Moi International Airport in Mombasa, or directly to Moi International.

Prices will vary depending on where you are flying from but there are better times to fly no matter where you live. Flights to Mombasa tend to fill up quickly between the end of June and early September, and also from December to January because this is the main holiday season. For these times, it is smart to book at least a few months in advance to get the best-priced fares.

If you’re not looking to travel during peak season, you can get great off-season deals.

International passengers can have visas arranged on arrival for a $50 fee. However, this might lead to some delays, so it is always better to arrange the visa before departing the country of origin.

From North America you will need to change flights twice. There are no direct flights from North America to Kenya / Nairobi. Northwest Airlines is affiliated with KLM and Kenya Airways, and it has good connections to Kenya (including MOI International) via Amsterdam, Milan, London, Munich, or Zurich.
You will be able to get a direct flight from Europe depending on the airline you choose. KLM works with Kenya Airways and has good connections and rates from Amsterdam. Other airlines include the Belgian airline, Brussels Airlines, and Swiss International Airlines, from Zurich.

Travelers from New Zealand and Australia are in much the same situation as those from North America – there are no direct flights available to Nairobi. You will have to change planes in southern Africa, Asia or the Middle East. If you cannot find a direct flight to Mombasa from there, you’ll again have to change planes in Nairobi.
