  • Air Tanzania - 51 flights to Tanzania per month
  • Ethiopian Airlines - 48 flights to Tanzania per month

How much is a flight to Tanzania?
If you're hunting down return flights, airfares fluctuated from $177 to $1,993 this last week. The most affordable one-way ticket was $451, coming from New York (JFK).
How to book the cheapest flight to Tanzania?
With some of the best flight deals around, you'll always jet for less with Orbitz. The following pointers will help you land cheap flights to Tanzania — and leave you with more cash to play with:

  • Taking off from or arriving at other airports can often help you cut costs. Type in your preferred departure and arrival points. Next, click on the 'Nearby airports' function below the form fields to look through your options.
  • If you're flexible with your travel itinerary, click on the 'Show flexible dates' link. You'll see the flight deals for the days either side of your selected departure. Fares often vary depending on the day of the week.
  • Select 'Show options' to refine your search results. You can choose your preferred airline and seating class here. Under 'Sort & Filter' to the left, you can even select whether you'd like to fly in the morning, afternoon or evening.
  • Book as soon as you know your travel dates. While it does happen from time to time, tickets rarely get more affordable as your date of departure nears.
  • Think about combining your hotels, flights and car rentals into a package deal — the more you book, the more you save.
  • Don't fly during the busy season if you can. By steering clear of school vacations and summer, you can make superb savings on your airfares.

What is the best time to book a flight to Tanzania?
Catch a bargain and book your seats to Tanzania in January. If you've missed this month, you're still in luck. February and August often have low airfares available, too. Just make sure you don't sleep on a sale — cheap flights come and go in the tap of a button!
What day of the week is the cheapest to book a flight to Tanzania?
If you're after cheap fares to Tanzania, the best days to book are Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. With Orbitz (and some good timing!), a fabulous flight deal will be all yours.
What is the cheapest day of the week to fly to Tanzania?
According to Orbitz data from 2020, you should jump on a plane on a Monday to get cheap flights to Tanzania. Next most affordable day? Tuesday. Saturday costs the most. So, think about departing early in the week if you'd love to score a low-priced fare and stretch your travel budget.
What is the cheapest month to fly to Tanzania?
To score cheap flights to Tanzania, you should pack your bags and depart in August. Orbitz data has found that this is generally the best month to save big on your ticket. If you're considering flying to Tanzania in June, keep in mind that this is the least affordable time of year to take a trip.
Which airlines allow free cancellation?
Orbitz makes it easy to find carriers that offer flexibility. Simply choose "Filter by flexible change policies" when searching for your Tanzania flights and bada bing, bada boom! We'll show you options that include free cancellation within 24 hours of booking, no change fees and of course, the best price.
What do I need for the flight to Tanzania?
It's always good to be ready for anything when traveling. Keep in mind the following for a smooth flight:

  • You'll need identification such as a valid passport. To avoid delays while checking in, make sure you book your tickets using the same name as your official ID. It's smart to have electronic copies of your travel documents too, just in case!
  • Have some extra entertainment for your long trip to Tanzania. When you're done watching movies, give your eyes a break from all that screen time and get stuck into a book.
  • Long-haul voyages can leave you feeling seriously cold, especially if you're flying overnight. If you prefer not to curl up to the stranger beside you for warmth, bring a warm layer and some wool socks.

How do I get cheap first-class/business deals to Tanzania?
If you think a business or first-class fare is out of your price range, you may want to think again. Here are some terrific tips to help you score a premium flight to Tanzania for a whole lot less:

  • Be more flexible with your travel dates and wait for big sales on first or business-class airfares.
  • Budget airlines offer business-class seats at affordable prices. Give the full-service carriers a miss and check out these cheaper options.
  • Bid for an upgrade in online auctions or upgrade your ticket with frequent flyer loyalty programs.

What is the best time to go to Tanzania?
Venture to Tanzania in the popular months of May, June and August. As with most destinations in the Southern Hemisphere, the summer season here kicks off from December 1. Think refreshing drinks, warm days and outdoor activities. During this time, temperatures typically fluctuate between 75 ºF and 85 ºF.
