[Grrr]

I’m looking at trying to get to Nairobi or JRO in late December, return early Jan, ex SYD

I know it’s peak season

Are there any tricks for cheap J flights ? I looked at starting in KUL/CGK/MNL/BKK but it wasn’t hugely different to just starting in Sydney after accounting for the extra flight…

Thread 'Flights to Kilimanjaro Airport'

Wednesday at 9:10 AM

Hi Experts , we are planning to book our tickets from Melbourne to Kilimanjaro (Tanzania) for next year. Based on the research I had done , unable to find any options to book Singapore Airlines or any other star alliance partners either revenue or miles. Can anyone please help me , if I am not searching correctly or if I have to fly through a different airport to make use of the star alliance partners. At the moment , only viable option I found is Qatar but I want to see every possibility of flying on SQ metal wherever possible. Appreciate your inputs and time.

How much are you looking at QR has a sale on at the moment and leaving 24/12 and coming back in January the cheapest is ~ 11500. But same flights booking with VA is ~10800. Both use the VA wet lease planes coming back.

Though if you have Avianca Life Miles only 48000 miles BKK-NBO flying TK..
Seeing this I looked at TK cash prices and SYD-BKK-IST-NBO departing 24/12 and I just looked at 14/1 and it came back as $10,300. I didn't check any other dates so might be a little cheaper.
Other star airlines are dearer.

CGK to CAI often have good deals (and reverse). Gulf Air have been having some good fares recently too.
