Kenya Airways has announced significant reductions in fares, offering passengers discounts on flights to several local and international destinations.

In a statement on Wednesday, 2 July, the national carrier confirmed discounts of 20 per cent on tickets to 13 specific African destinations and 15 per cent on domestic flights to Nairobi, Mombasa, and Kisumu.

"Enjoy 20 per cent off select destinations, whether you’re craving the soothing beaches you’ve been dreaming of or the buzz of lively city life waiting to be explored. Imagine swapping your daily grind for ocean breezes or rooftop views, all while paying less. Don’t miss out, book now and let your next adventure begin,” KQ stated in its notice.

The 13 discounted international flights include Zambia, Abidjan, Kinshasa, Kigali, Maputo, Addis Ababa, Lubumbashi in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Seychelles, Comoros, Antananarivo, Bujumbura, Entebbe, and Kilimanjaro.

Kenya Airways stated that the discount will run from July 2 to September 28, 2025. 

In the statement, the airline announced that the 15 per cent discount on domestic flights to Mombasa, Nairobi, and Kisumu will also run for the same period.

“Ready, set, book! Our 24-Hour Mid-Year Sale has arrived, and trust us, this is no ordinary deal. For just one day, enjoy unbeatable fares to your favourite destination. Feeling that mid-year slump? It’s time to shake things up and treat yourself to an escape with us,” KQ added.

The airline urged the customers to use the promo code 'HOTDEAL' in order to enjoy the discount.

However, the airline highlighted specific exclusions, noting that the discounts do not apply to the "Best Buy Economy" and "Business Lite" fare classes. 

The discounted prices are applicable only on net fares, meaning they exclude standard taxes and additional surcharges, which travellers will still need to cover.

The discounts are valid for both one-way and return journeys and are strictly applicable to flights operated solely by Kenya Airways. 

The airline also stipulated that any changes made to tickets outside the standard terms and conditions will incur market fare penalties, applicable fare differences, and additional change fees.
