Re: Purchasing SA air tix outside of Africa
Lowest fares between Nairobi & Johannesburg are
on British Airways right now. This is service contracted
out to Air Kenya/Regional Air, based in Nairobi.
BA commonly uses contract carriers; in South Africa
and Zimbabwe, BA flights are operated by Comair.
We use Air Kenya & Regional Air extensively in
Kenya and Tanzania, and recommend them without
hesitation. Good people, good airline.
I checked a sample mid-June one-way flight for you:
16 June British Airways
BA 8672 Â JNB/NBO dep 14:15 arr 19:30
Non-stop 732 4h15min Economy Restricted
Fare Type Fare  Tax  South African Rands
Public  2210.00 + 257.00 x 1 Adult = 2467.00
Total fare = 2467.00Â
In USD, this is about $312 - $ 315 (today) based on
the current rate of exchange. Any travel agent can
sell it to you. If you want to pay for it here and
have it picked up in JNB, there would probably be
an additional charge.
