Maybe you could even do this without holding, I don't know, e.g. to compare possibilities. Which sadly isn't totally accessible. I can get onto it with !Oregano2, but not with !Fresco, and my sister couldn't get onto it with IE4. Oh well.

BA does indeed now fly from Heathrow.
I use them because of the good bulk fares from the US. But Kenya Airways is also just fine. |

there are several options available. if u want non-stop, fly BA, Kenya airways or east african airlines. you can book BA or KQ over the web. its cheaper if you buy BA tickets now than wait till after april. SN Brussels, swiss, ethiopian airlines, KLM etc offer connecting flights. check with ebookers, expedia and opodo as well. i've used them to get cheaper tickets than the airlines directly -- John 3:16 Posted via http://britishexpats.com |

We got a great deal from SFO-LON-Entebbe-Seychelles--Frankfurt-SFO.
About 2k. Travel agent: VOYAGES A LA CARTE Email: They're based out of Montreal, Canada. But they're really quick and nice. Ask for Valerie. Pascal is even better, but he's on vacation for another week or so. You can tell them we recommended you.

Any suggestions for the best airline for this trip? Thank you, Mark I always think this is a 'how long is a piece of string' type of question. What do you want? If you want the cheapest flight, I believe Aeroflot would do (a round robin flight via Moscow). They are not as 'hairy' as they used to be - and some of the fun factor has gone out of flying with them as a result. British Airways would be the logical choice, but then again, Kenyan Airways tries very hard to make you welcome. Maybe because they have lost so much business because of the international situation, they will treat you even more royally! Incidentally, there are some airlines who are flying direct to Mombasa, if you want a seaside holiday. I am still researching this. If you are going with a group, could I put in a plug for my friend in Nairobi? I don't make money out of it, but when I went there not so long ago, she treated me well, and was very informative. She happens to run a minibus service at JKI airport - including safaris - and you can get tons of info from Anastasia, at her website Rick in London |
