Cheap Flights from Nairobi to Bangkok — $249

Nairobi is served primarily by Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) and Wilson Airport (WIL). Jomo Kenyatta is the main international gateway and a regional hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers as well as many African and Middle Eastern airlines; fares here can be mid-to-premium compared with smaller regional airports. It lies about 15–20 km southeast of the city centre, with road transfers typically taking 30–60 minutes depending on traffic; taxis, ride-hailing services and airport shuttles are common, and fares vary by provider. Pros: full international facilities, many lounges and international connections. Cons: Nairobi traffic can make transfers slow during peak hours. Wilson Airport functions as Nairobi’s primary domestic and light-aviation field, catering to regional carriers, charter flights and safari operators rather than long-haul services. Located roughly 5–10 km south of central Nairobi, travel times are usually 15–30 minutes by car; taxis and private transfers are the main options and fares are generally lower than from the international airport. Pros: closer to downtown, quick check-ins for regional flights and scenic small-aircraft transfers. Cons: limited international facilities and fewer ground-transport choices compared with the main airport.

Bangkok is served mainly by two airports with different roles. Suvarnabhumi (BKK) is the larger international hub, typically handling most long-haul and full-service carriers while offering a wide range of lounges, shops and transfer options; it sits about 30–35 km east of the city center, with Airport Rail Link journeys taking roughly 25–35 minutes and shuttle or taxi rides commonly 30–60 minutes depending on traffic (fares vary from modest rail fees to metered taxi rates plus tolls). Don Mueang (DMK) is Bangkok’s older airport and usually functions as a budget and regional gateway, favored by low-cost airlines and short-haul routes; it’s located about 20–25 km north of downtown, reachable by bus, local train or taxi in around 30–50 minutes. Pros: Suvarnabhumi offers more international connections and modern facilities, while Don Mueang can be cheaper and quicker for domestic or low-cost flights. Cons: both can be affected by Bangkok’s heavy traffic, and transfers between the two airports often require extra time and transport planning.
