Cheap Flights from Mombasa to Cape Town — $437

Mombasa is served mainly by Moi International Airport (MBA), the city’s international gateway that typically handles regional and some long-haul carriers alongside a few budget airlines. The airport is about 10–15 km north of central Mombasa, with transfer times usually ranging from 20–40 minutes by taxi or shuttle depending on traffic; fares can be modest for shared shuttles and higher for private taxis. Local matatus and occasional hotel transfers offer lower-cost options but can be slower. Pros include straightforward arrivals and a compact layout that can make connections easier; cons can be congestion during peak periods and limited late-night public transport, so plan onward transfers in advance.

Cape Town International Airport is South Africa’s second-largest gateway and typically acts as the city’s main international and domestic hub, handling a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines. It sits about 20–25 km from the city centre, with road transfer times usually 20–45 minutes depending on traffic; metered taxis and rideshares are common, and airport shuttle buses or private transfers can be cost-effective for groups. There’s no direct rail link to the terminal, though longer-distance trains serve nearby suburbs. The airport is generally modern and reasonably comfortable, but peak periods can be busy; travellers often balance the convenience of proximity against occasional congestion and variable transfer costs.
