How to get the best deal on a Nairobi — Amsterdam ticket

Given the distance of 6,654 km, we recommend comparing direct KLM flights with options from Emirates or Alitalia, which may offer a better price due to a layover.
Use the low price calendar on this page to find departure dates in June, when tickets start AED 1,088.
For this transcontinental route, it is better to search for tickets at least 8–12 weeks before your trip, as economy class fares sell out quickly closer to the departure date.
