Flights from Africa to London: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from Africa to London 
MatthewFlew with British Airways-Aug 2026
Get to the airport early as you have to go through many security checks and there were ques when we got there to get into the airport.
NeilFlew with Kenya Airways-Nov 2025
Bring warm clothes as Kenya airways no longer provide blankets
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Apr 2025
Allowing three hours for Heathrow transit is a good estimate.
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Dec 2024
If you are easily cold, dress warm. The plane's temperature is set really cold.
Frank AFlew with Ethiopian Air-Jan 2024
Before you collect your luggage at the airport make sure that you check at least two carousels. I spent 40 minutes waiting for my baggage only to realize that it was in the second carousel.
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Jan 2024
None really. It’s a long, but straight forward flight. If you can afford premium economy or better, do it for the comfort.

Food was okay. Seats were a bit cramped. In flight entertainment headphone socket didn't work on my seat. Wifi was great, so I was able to stream on my iPad

Food was okay. Seats were a bit cramped. In flight entertainment headphone socket didn't work on my seat. Wifi was great, so I was able to stream on my iPad

Selection of movies didn't include recent box office hits. Food was average not great. English sparkling wine is not drinkable. Otherwise, everything was great.

Food has been disappointing in both legs of flight to india

Great staff great experience, made a 2 hour delay very bearable

I was my pleasure to fly virgin on my birthday for my first solo trip ever 🫶🏼

Overall, flight was excellent but check in was very slow for Premium Economy. Economy queue was shorter but we weren't allowed to use it.

Great crew - old style upper class seats on the older fleet now feels dated

Following a paid seat upgrade for enhanced comfort, I encountered an unacceptable odor in my assigned area. It took three hours for the crew to relocate me, and the replacement seat was unacceptably close to the lavatory, offering no improvement.

Good overall. Cannot fault the airlines. I have had better entertainment systems before ie ice in Emirates but it was not too bad. Food was decent and staff were friendly.

Miami airport needs more thorough signage. It was a long walk from my transport point to the check in desk,

The following is a review for a flight from Johannesburg to Washington, DC with a connection at Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and refueling landing at Rome, Italy. The flight was provided by Ethiopian Airlines. There were two of us: me and my wife on this flight. Everything was on time. Enough legroom between the seats, I was able to stretch my legs and sleep for at least some time during the 14 hour second flight (19 hours in total for both flights). Very decent meals that included two lunches and one breakfast on the flight from Addis Ababa to Washington and one lunch on the flight from Johannesburg to Addis Ababa. The lunch choices were beef, chicken and fish, I think the vegetarian option was available as well, accompanied with beans. The breakfast was a choice between egg and pancake, accompanied with a fruit salad. The egg breakfast was awesome, it came with a scrambled egg and a sausage. However, my wife mentioned unusual taste of the pancake breakfast meal, by all means those were not pancakes. What wasn't good: Externally initiated commercials on the infosystem screens, you couldn't turn the screen off. These commercials were accompanied by loud and annoying music, transmitted through the entire cabin. Obviously, there was no escape from this music as well. Additional moment: on the flight from Addis Ababa to Washington, DC, we landed at Rome for refueling. This was totally fine and it was in the flight itinerary. But, the flight attendant asked me to straighten the seat while we were at the steady position during the refueling. I can't rationalize this order except that some people just like to be a boss of some kind. Keeping the light lit in the economy cabin while keeping it dimmed in the first class also didn't improve my and my wife's feelings. Overall, the services were very good and the flight, despite its longevity, went on very smoothly.

I paid for internet that did not work and had to pay more to have it

The crew were amazing. They should improve the inflight entertainment

Traveling with Ethiopian is always a good experience. I also enjoy the stay at skylight hotel in Addis

The flight itself was fine. The exception is that my luggage was destroyed, and I filed a claim that I haven't heard from anyone.

No Asian Vegetarian food was available on this sector but only fish and chicken and pasta were offered.

There where no ear phones provided and the food needs to improve.

I like the leg room. I did not like the plane from Chicago to Addis. It was dirty and smelly and toilet area filthy. My screen was not working and kept saying loading. The plane from Addis to Harare was clean , more modern and food looked much fresher and tasted better. Boarding at Addis was a nightmare, long queues and lots of confusion,International space has no seating are and one is standing all the time.

It is just ok, the sits are very uncomfortable, the temperature too low and there weren’t blankets. The food is mediocre and there are no screens to watch movies.

Same but worse than international. The inter African flights are worse.

I ordered a drink, but never got it. I ask what type of drinks they had and they could not tell me and there was not printed copy that I could find that is usually on most airplanes. They served dinner and never walk back to see if any need a drink or anything afterwards until they served the snack just before landing.

Check-in wait time was quite long (understaffed for the volume of customers), but energy and hospitality of flight crew was great!

I really enjoyed the flight…and food and the hospitality but didn’t get the food I requested for.

Everything was terrific. Kevin, and the whole crew, were exceptional. Five stars all around! Thanks so much.

Flight held at gate for other passengers. We ended up being late and missed connection

Should have more cosmopolitan food choices - too many Indian dishes - the only entree not Indian was lamb which I don't eat

The plane was ancient, and its technology was in disrepair. None of the charging stations worked, and the screens were barely functioning.

Worst thing: Luggage took forever to get at LAX despite priority bags. Best: Flight attendants were great!

It was my experience w Kayak that was negative. I’m never using kayak again

The Business Class seating arrangement hasn't been upgraded yet. When getting up to go to the bathroom, you have to climb over someone's stretched out legs.

Waited on tarmac in shuttle bus to board plane in Casablanca

Flight was late, economy seats are uncomfortable, and there is no entertainment. Food looked good, although I did not eat as it was Ramadan. Flight crew competent and professional. Ticket was not good value for money. Too expensive.

Horrible. Flight was overbooked and I was put on a flight to Miami without a leg to my final destination. And Kayak is not helping resolve the problem

Food quality was low for business class. No snacks between meals. Very confusing “One World” participation. This airline seems to be part of the program but doesn’t recognize the benefits to customers (luggage allowance)???

Good! except for the in-flight announcement which was very poor. The flight attendant was inaudible with her english language throughout the flight. Her communication was bad, very bad. I could not fantom what she was saying in english and she was very fast you could hardly hear or understand what she was communicating. She needs to improve. Thx

My luggage did not arrive yet, it been 4 days without any information

When the flight landed, it was still going towards the gate, when everybody got up. Nobody cared that the flight was still in "active taxi" mode. But seems like this is common on Air Maroc flights.

Long delayed that cause missing my connection. Accommodation and food at the Casablanca airport was horrible

Good but your male staff should be more appreciative of customers. After all you are making a lot of monies from Nigerians.

The plane was new, clean and nice. The crew was very attentive and pleasant. The food wasn’t great, though - even in business class…

Good food. Conscientious staff. That said they need more training on setting up the bassinet.

They should have better communication and dealings with their customer when their flight is delayed or canceled.

It was a nightmare of an experience. The station manager was very unprofessional dealing with an over 5 hour delay and even boarding the flight was a nightmare with 3 plane loads of passengers on other cancelled flights trying to push and shove to get in the one i boarded.

Smooth process. No delay. Need to improve the AC during boarding.
