How to Find Cheap Flights to Africa

Book cheap flight tickets and hotels- https://trailtravelz.com/

Finding cheap flights to Africa can seem daunting, but with the right strategies, you can score some incredible deals. Whether you're planning a safari adventure, a cultural tour, or a business trip, this guide will help you navigate the process of finding affordable airfare to this diverse and beautiful continent.

1. Be Flexible with Your Travel Dates

One of the easiest ways to find cheap flights is to be flexible with your travel dates. Flight prices can vary significantly depending on the time of year, day of the week, and even the time of day. Use fare comparison tools like Google Flights or Skyscanner to explore different date combinations and identify the most affordable options.

2. Book in Advance

While last-minute deals can sometimes be found, booking your flight well in advance is generally the best way to secure the lowest prices. Aim to book your tickets at least three to six months before your intended departure date. Airlines often release their cheapest seats early, so the sooner you book, the better.

3. Use Fare Comparison Websites

Fare comparison websites like Kayak, Momondo, and Skyscanner allow you to compare prices across multiple airlines and travel agencies. These platforms also offer fare alerts, which notify you when prices drop for your preferred routes. Make sure to use these tools to ensure you're getting the best deal possible.

4. Consider Alternative Airports

If you're flying to a major city in Africa, consider checking prices for nearby airports as well. For example, if you're heading to Nairobi, compare prices for flights into Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and Wilson Airport. Sometimes, flying into a smaller or alternative airport can result in significant savings.

5. Fly During Off-Peak Seasons

Traveling during off-peak seasons can help you find cheaper flights. For most African destinations, the high season typically coincides with the best weather conditions, which can vary depending on the region. Research your specific destination to determine when the off-peak season is, and plan your trip accordingly to take advantage of lower airfare.

6. Use Points and Miles

If you have frequent flyer miles or credit card points, consider using them to reduce the cost of your flight. Many airlines and credit card companies offer travel rewards programs that can help you save money. Check your rewards balance and see if you can use your points to cover part or all of your airfare.

7. Keep an Eye on Deals and Sales

Airlines frequently offer sales and promotions, especially during major holidays or off-peak travel periods. Subscribe to airline newsletters, follow them on social media, and sign up for deal alerts from websites like Secret Flying or The Flight Deal to stay informed about special offers and flash sales.

8. Book Connecting Flights

Non-stop flights are often more convenient, but they can also be more expensive. Consider booking connecting flights instead, as they are usually cheaper. While this may add some travel time, the savings can be substantial. Be sure to check the layover duration and ensure you have enough time to make your connecting flight.

9. Use Budget Airlines

Several budget airlines operate routes to and within Africa, offering lower fares compared to traditional carriers. Airlines like Fastjet, FlySafair, and Air Arabia can provide cost-effective options for travelers. Keep in mind that budget airlines often charge extra for checked luggage, seat selection, and other services, so factor these costs into your total budget.

10. Clear Your Browser Cookies

When searching for flights online, airlines and travel websites can use cookies to track your search history and potentially increase prices. To avoid this, clear your browser cookies or use incognito mode while searching for flights. This can help ensure you see the lowest available prices.

Conclusion

Finding cheap flights to Africa requires a combination of flexibility, research, and strategic planning. By being proactive and utilizing the tips outlined above, you can significantly reduce your travel expenses and make your dream trip to Africa a reality. Happy travels!

GATWICK AIRPORT UK:

    Gatwick. The airport's civilian use resumed after the war. The 1950s saw significant expansion at the airport. Between 1955 and 1988, Yorke Rosenberg Mardall created the structures at the airport. 

AIRPORT AT GATWICK IN 1970:

Gatwick Airport in 1970:

British United Airways and Dan-Air were two of the biggest British independent airlines at Gatwick in the 1960s. The former established itself as the airport's dominant scheduled operator and provided a sizable number of non-scheduled services, and the latter emerged as the airport's leading provider of inclusive tour charter services.

The Ministry of Aviation fostered the continued fast expansion of charter flights at Gatwick by ordering carriers to relocate regular charter flights from Heathrow. British Caledonian, the airline that resulted from Caledonian Airways' acquisition of British airways at the start of the subsequent decade, dominated the scheduled airline market at Gatwick in the 1970s. As a result of restrictions imposed by Britain's Monopolies and Mergers Commission on British Airways' acquisition of BCal at the end of the 1980s, Dan-Air and Air Europe took over BCal's former position as Gatwick's dominant scheduled short-haul operator, while BA continued in BCal's erstwhile role as the airport's most significant scheduled long-haul operator. Throughout the majority of the 1980s, BCal continued to dominate scheduled operations at the airport.

                                Gatwick Airport Limited, a fully-owned subsidiary of Ivy Holdco Limited, which is owned by Global Infrastructure Partners among others, is in charge of managing and owning the airport. Vinci stated in December 2018 that it will pay £2.9 billion for a 50.01% interest, with the remaining 49.9% owned by an investment group managed by Gatwick airport. In 2019, the deal was finalised.

After incurring first-half net losses of £245 million, it was reported in August 2021 that Gatwick's operators were in negotiations with lenders.

                                    Virgin Holidays debuted the V Room, Gatwick's first lounge for long-haul leisure travellers, on May 31, 2008. As part of the airline relocations that saw British Airways and                                                                    Virgin Holidays debuted the V Room, Gatwick's first lounge for long-haul leisure travellers, on May 31, 2008. As part of the airline relocations that saw British Airways and Virgin Atlantic swap terminal sites and EasyJet consolidate in the North Terminal, the lounge and the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse moved to the North Terminal on January 25, 2017. An independent pay-for-access lounge debuted in the South Terminal on April 9, 2009. Additionally, Gatwick includes a conference and business centre as well as a number of on- and off-site hotels with varying levels of luxury, from executive to budget. Each terminal features a multi-faith prayer and counselling space, and the airport has chaplains who are Anglican, Catholic, and Free Church. One of the chaplains conducts a daily service.

                                             The Civil Aviation Authority Safety Regulation Group is situated in the Aviation House. WesternGeco, a provider of geophysical services, has regional offices throughout Europe, Africa, and Russia in Schlumberger House. After 15 years, the company's lease on the building was scheduled to expire in June 2008. In 2007, WesternGeco and its landlord, BAA Lynton, agreed to extend their lease until 2016 for an initial payment of £2.1 million. Fastjet's headquarters are located next to Suite 2C at First Point at the airport, where the company is registered.

                                      Before the sale, British airways had a five-year, £874 million investment plan for Gatwick that included expanding the capacity of both terminals, enhancing the transportation interchange, and installing a new baggage system at the South Terminal. Large mobile barcodes on top of construction hoardings provide information on the rebuilding program to travellers travelling through the airport. These may be scanned to communicate construction-related data to the user's smartphone.Gatwick Connect, a free flight connection service, was established in the summer of 2013 to help customers changing flights at Gatwick whose carriers do not provide a comprehensive flight connection service. The service was relaunched as "GatwickConnects" in September 2015.

FLIGHT MANOEUVRES:

                         According to the documentation, the TORAH of the northern runway is 2,565 metres in both directions. The west is the direction in which takeoffs are most common. The runways are just 656 feet and 148 feet apart, respectively,     GATWICK , although has two runways, operates as a single-runway airport since it only utilises the northern one when the main runway is unavailable for whatever reason. According to the UK Integrated Aeronautical Information Package, the airport's main runway has a takeoff run available of 3,255

metres for westerly takeoffs and 3,15 metres for easterly takeoffs.

making it impossible to utilise both at once.

The airport stated that it was "exploring how to make the greatest use of its current runways, including the prospect of putting its existing backup runway into normal operation" in an announcement made in October 2018. In one possibility, would only be used for leaving narrow-body aircraft, while the longer 08R/26L would be utilised for wide-body takeoffs and all landings, somewhat increasing the centerline separation. In the long run, the airport is still interested in building a second runway to the south, and new technology may be employed to boost capacity on the existing runway.On the main runway, a Category III Instrument Landing System is utilised (ILS). If the aircraft is equipped and the operator has authorization, incoming aircraft can be radar-vectored to intercept an RNAV approach when the northern runway is in use. There is no ILS on the northern runway. This satellite-based method can also be used to the main runway. When an RNAV approach is not possible, assistance from the approach controller using surveillance radar will be provided. For this, the Air Traffic Controller issues altitude callouts and direction indications. On both runways, a continuous descending approach is used to reduce the environmental effect of approaching aircraft,night especially.

SECURITY:

The Gatwick District of the Sussex Police is in charge of airport security. The district is in charge of the whole airport, including the aircraft, as well as, in certain cases, the aircraft in flight. There are 150 police assigned to this area, both armed and unarmed, as well as community support officers for less serious offences. Patrolling the area around the airport and conducting vehicle inspections around it help the airport district combat man-portable surface-to-air missiles (MANPADS).

GATES AT GATWICK:

The South and North terminals at the airport each have 65 gates. Both include retail and dining options both on the ground and in the air, and all spaces are accessible to travellers with disabilities. There are facilities for feeding and changing infants. Business-focused lounges are available. 1.21 km of two-way automated people movers connect the North and South Terminals on the landside. After passing security, they are not connected.

Central South:

There are 32 gates at South Terminal. The South Terminal's center, which included 11 aircraft stands, was formally opened. Gatwick one of the first airports in the world, had a pier-based terminal that was enclosed, allowing travelers to enter covered waiting for spaces for their flights. A circular satellite dock was constructed for the terminal structure as the number of passengers increased. The first automated people mover system in the united kingdom was used to connect it to the main terminal. This took the place of the 1962-built old North pier, and the people mover was later replaced by a walkway and travelators.
