Flights to Kenya - Frequently Asked Questions
+ Does Condor serve a free meal on flights to Kenya?
On Condor’s long-haul flights from Canada to Frankfurt (FRA) that can be used when traveling onward to Kenya, Economy Class includes a complimentary hot meal from the Taste the World Menu, a snack, and free non-alcoholic drinks, while alcoholic beverages and certain extras are charged separately. Premium Economy includes the Classic Premium Menu from the Taste the World range with an extended selection of complimentary drinks, and Business Class includes the Taste the World Gourmet Menu with a more elaborate multi-course service and a wider choice of drinks.

On the connecting flight from Frankfurt (FRA) to Kenya, meals and drinks follow the standards of the airline operating that part of the journey and can differ from the Condor long-haul service.
+ Do I need a visa to visit Kenya?
Canadian citizens do not need a traditional visa for short tourist stays in Kenya, but an electronic travel authorization (eTA) must be obtained online before departure. The eTA is issued for visits of up to 90 days and Kenyan authorities recommend submitting the application at least two weeks before travel. Travellers must hold a valid passport and eTA when arriving and can be asked to show proof of onward or return travel and sufficient funds at the border. Entry decisions are always made by Kenyan immigration officials on arrival. For official entry, visa, and passport validity requirements for Canadian citizens, consult The Government of Canada’s official source of travel information and advice.
+ What airports in Kenya does Condor serve?
Condor serves the following airports in Kenya: Nairobi (NBO).
+ When is the cheapest time to fly to Kenya?
For flights from Canada to Kenya, April stands out as the cheapest month in recent price records. Additional low-fare periods occur from March to May and from September to November, outside the main summer and holiday peaks. Tuesday departures are cheaper than weekend departures on flights from Canada to Kenya, and booking around 5 weeks before departure is recommended to secure below-average prices.
+ What's the best time to visit Kenya?
The best time to visit Kenya for classic safaris and beach stays is during the main dry season from June to October, when wildlife gathers around water sources, roads are in better condition and days are mostly warm and clear. A shorter dry spell in January and February also offers good conditions for game viewing and coastal holidays, with hot temperatures and relatively low rainfall. The long rainy season from about March to May brings heavier showers, cloudier skies and muddy tracks in some parks, while the short rains in November and early December mean more showers but greener landscapes and fewer visitors. Kenya remains a year-round destination, so travellers who prioritize lush scenery and quieter lodges often choose the shoulder periods just before or after the main dry months.
+ What is the time difference between Canada and Kenya?
Kenya uses East Africa Time (EAT), which is UTC+3 throughout the year. Kenya is ahead of Canada by roughly 6 to 11 hours depending on province and season.
+ Does Condor offer special deals or fares for flights to Kenya?
Flights from Canada to Kenya can be included in Condor’s promotional offers such as Catch a fly-t deals, last-minute deals and early booking promotions when these are released. The most favorable prices appear outside peak summer and major holiday travel periods, especially in months like March to May and September to November and on midweek departures rather than weekends. Higher, more flexible fare types often include better options for rebooking and refunds, which can be attractive for travellers who want added flexibility for a complex trip to Kenya.
+ Is Wi-Fi available on Condor flights to Kenya?
On Condor’s long-haul flights from Canada to Frankfurt (FRA), operated with an Airbus A330-900neo, Wi‑Fi is offered via the FlyConnect service in all travel classes. Passengers can connect their own devices to the onboard network and purchase paid internet packages, for example for messaging or broader web use, with payment processed on board. Access to a wireless entertainment portal on personal devices is available once connected, while full internet browsing depends on the chosen paid package. On the onward connecting flight from Frankfurt (FRA) to Kenya, any Wi‑Fi service depends on the airline and aircraft operating that part of the journey and can differ from the Condor long-haul offering.
+ Can I bring sports equipment on my Condor flight to Kenya?
Sports equipment can be transported on Condor-operated flights from Canada toward Kenya, but it must be booked in advance and is subject to specific rules. On long-haul flights, one piece of sports equipment up to 30 kg is included for Business Class passengers, and holders of a Condor Activity Card can also take one item of sports equipment up to 30 kg without an extra fee. In Economy and Premium Economy, sports equipment is accepted but charged according to the published sports baggage fees, and permitted dimensions and types of equipment depend on the sport. Registration of sports equipment is required up to 8 hours before departure, and the conditions on the connecting flight to Kenya follow the policies of the airline operating that part of the journey, which can differ from Condor’s rules.
+ How long must my passport be valid for travel to Kenya?
For Canadian citizens traveling to Kenya, passports must be valid for at least 6 months from the start of the journey. A temporary passport is accepted for entry if it is valid for the entire stay, but Kenya’s mandatory electronic travel authorization (eTA) must be applied for using a regular passport rather than a temporary one. Travel documents must be in good condition and contain enough blank pages for entry and exit stamps. Travellers combining Kenya with neighboring countries under a joint East African Tourist Visa need the same minimum passport validity. For official entry, visa, and passport validity requirements for Canadian citizens, consult The Government of Canada’s official source of travel information and advice.
