I need the cheapest flight to Malawi to help aids victims
 
Hi,

I am flying from the UK to Blantyre, Malawi in the first week in
January to help my girlfriend with her charity work, and to take out
clothes and toys for the orphan children she teaches and cares for.

Where can I find the cheapest flight?!

Many websites quote VERY cheap prices like around £350, although when
I phone to book they say that either the flights don't exist, or that
they are much much more expensive!

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I really want to book this
week, so I can get on with collecting toys and clothes for the kids.

Thanks,

Paul

What sort of price was available. Around the £750 - £850 was the price range I
found availability in.

The cheapest I can find is £569.10. I suppose that's not too bad.

That was not bad some time ago, I often paid £550 to go to Harare. With
current fuel prices etc that is a good price in my book, especially if it is a
half way decent airline.

It's with Kenya Airways I think. Any good? Via dialaflight.

About average, and about £200 or more cheaper than BA and SAA flights.

I can see why they were quoting lower prices. I can see a fare of £320 plus
taxes with Kenya Airways, but it only allows you to stay a week.

Really? Where did you see that? I am very interested!

If you are referring to
http://www.cheapflights.co.uk/flight...e/London-Area/

then it's a lie! After you actually phone the companies listed, the
price is a lot more!

thanks!

It's a Kenya Airways consolidator fare, so any of the cut price people that
deal with the airline should have it, if it isn't sold out on the dates you
want. There would only be a limited number of seats at that fare on a flight,
so first come etc.
