A good sale to Nairobi. Pricing will vary slightly depending on routing

The fare is a little cheaper if you connect in Accra via New York. However, the flight between Accra and Nairobi is on a plane with only recliner business class seats. We would spend extra to avoid that as that is over 2,600 miles each way.

If you have an American Express Platinum or Centurion card, you can buy this for cheaper via American Express Travel. Pricing is as follows:

• Boston [BOS] – $2,198 ($1,973 after American Express Travel discount)
• New York  [JFK] – $1,917 ($1,734 after American Express Travel discount)
• Washington D.C. [IAD] – $2,037 ($1,836 after American Express Travel discount)
