KAYAK's insights & trends for flights to Kinshasa

Get data-powered insights and trends into flights to Kinshasa to help you find the cheapest flights, the best time to fly and much more.

What is the cheapest month to fly to Kinshasa?

To calculate monthly average prices, KAYAK takes all prices for each month over the last year for flights to Kinshasa, removes the top 0.1% to account for outliers, and then takes the median of all values for each month.

The cheapest month for flights to Kinshasa is November, where tickets cost £524 on average for return flights. On the other hand, the most expensive months are July and August, where the average cost of tickets from the United Kingdom is £900 and £762 respectively. For one-way flights, the best month to travel is November with an average price of £498.

How far in advance should I book a flight to Kinshasa?

To calculate weekly average prices, KAYAK takes all prices for each week before departure over the last year for round-trip flights to Kinshasa, removes the top 0.1% to account for outliers, and then takes the average of all the values for each week.

To get a below average price, you should book around 6 weeks before departure, which saves you about 18% compared to booking last minute. For the absolute cheapest price, our data suggests you should book 15 weeks before departure.

FAQs - booking Kinshasa flights

  • Are there any airport lounges in Kinshasa Airport?

    Yes, Kinshasa Airport has two VIP Saloon Okapi and VIP Commercial Lounge. VIP Saloon Okapi costs $25 (around £18) for entry, and VIP Commercial Lounge costs around $35 (around £25). Both offer complimentary alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and you'll also receive free Wi-Fi access (which isn't available in the rest of Kinshasa Airport).

  • Are there any airport hotels at Kinshasa Airport?

    Currently, no; Kinshasa Airport isn't open between the hours of 00:00 and 06:00, so it does not currently have any on-site hotels. However, there are some hotels that are a little closer to the airport than Kinshasa itself (around 35-45min compared to around one hour), for example the Beatrice Hotel or the Hotel Royal Kinshasa.

  • What's the quickest way to get from Kinshasa Airport into Kinshasa?

    If you want to ensure you get to your hotel in Kinshasa as quickly as possible after your long flight, we recommend that you take a taxi. Official taxis are available outside Kinshasa's terminal buildings; the official taxis affiliated with the airport are blue and yellow. It costs around $20-$50 (£14-£36) depending on traffic and which part of the city you're travelling to, and it's a good idea to negotiate your fare with the driver before you get into the taxi.

  • What food options do I have in Kinshasa Airport?

    You have multiple choices. Airside, Kinshasa Airport has a small cafeteria and some shops, and landside it has a full restaurant, so you'll be able to grab something to eat if you're hungry when you land. Please note that the airport food options can sometimes be on the pricey side compared to food choices outside, so if you are travelling on a tight budget you may want to look around for your best budget-friendly options.

  • What public transportation services are on offer from Kinshasa Airport?

    When you land at the airport you may need to take conventional public transportation to the city. Apart from taxis there are two ways to ensure you get there. Public commuter trains leave regularly from the airport and will go into the city as well as Transo buses, which have a bus stop right outside the terminals of the airport. It is recommended that you opt for taxis if you have a lot of luggage as the buses and trains are often over-crowded at rush hour. The taxi ride will average between 5000 CDF and 10000 CDF (around 2-5 GBP) one way.

  • Is there a smoking area at Kinshasa Airport?

    There is no official designated smoking area on either airside or landside of the terminals at Kinshasa Airport. With the airport being so small, it is quite easy to pop outside when you are still landside and have a cigarette. Once you are passed baggage check-in and waiting airside there will unfortunately be no smoking allowed. Many of the Democratic of Congo’s hotels have a no-smoking policy, so check beforehand if you would like to find smoking accommodation.

  • How far is Kinshasa N'djili Airport from central Kinshasa?

    There are 11 miles between Kinshasa city centre and Kinshasa N'djili Airport.

  • What is the name of Kinshasa’s airport?

    Kinshasa is served by Kinshasa N'djili Airport, also commonly referred to as Kinshasa Intl, N'Djili Intl, or N'djili. The airport code is FIH.

  • How does KAYAK find such low prices on flights to Kinshasa?

    KAYAK is a travel search engine. That means we look across the web to find the best prices we can find for our users. With over 2 billion flight queries processed yearly, we are able to display a variety of prices and options on flights to Kinshasa.

  • How does KAYAK's flight Price Forecast tool help me choose the right time to buy my flight ticket to Kinshasa?

    KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool uses historical data to determine whether the price for a flight to Kinshasa is likely to change within 7 days, so travellers know whether to wait or book now.

  • What is the Hacker Fare option on flights to Kinshasa?

    Hacker Fares allow you to combine one-way tickets in order to save you money over a traditional round-trip ticket. You could then fly to Kinshasa with an airline and back with another airline.

  • What is KAYAK's "flexible dates" feature and why should I care when looking for a flight to Kinshasa?

    Sometimes travel dates aren't set in stone. If your preferred travel dates have some wiggle room, flexible dates will show you all the options when flying to Kinshasa up to 3 days before/after your preferred dates. You can then pick the flights that suit you best.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Kinshasa

  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest Kinshasa flight deals.
  • While there are no direct flights from London to Kinshasa, there are dozens of routes so you'll have plenty of choice for stopover airports; frequent stopover locations include Brussels Airport (BRU), Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG), and Istanbul Airport (IST).
  • Kinshasa International Airport (FIH) is the main airport serving the Congo; other airports (such as Goma International Airport (GOM)) don't serve many international routes. If you want to travel to a different area of the Congo served by one of its other airports, we recommend that you fly to Kinshasa then take a connecting flight.
  • If you're staying in a hotel in Kinshasa, we recommend that you check whether they offer a hotel shuttle service from the airport; it's fairly common for Kinshasa hotels to offer airport pickups for up to $50 (around £36).
  • If you don't want to rely on public transport while you're in Kinshasa, it could be a good idea to hire a car; you can rent your car through KAYAK when you book your flight, then pick it up in the airport when you land. You'll see the car hire desks once you've passed baggage pickup and entered the Arrivals Hall.
  • The official currency in Kinshasa is the Congolese Franc, but US dollars are also accepted almost everywhere. We recommend that you withdraw US dollars for larger items (as notes under $5 aren't accepted), and keep some Congolese Francs on you for smaller items. You can withdraw US dollars and Francs from ATMs in Kinshasa.
  • Kinshasa Airport is a small but functional airport. As it continues to grow you will find new upgrades taking place in the airport regularly. There is an information desk based inside the main lobby of the airport to assist with anything you could ask for and if you need medical services when you arrive in Kinshasa you can always arrange an air or ground ambulance through the information desk.
  • While the official language of the Democratic Republic of Congo is French, airport staff can speak English to any passengers flying into Kinshasa. The airport is well-signed in English too, making travel easy for many passengers.
  • The Kinshasa Airport has a post office that can assist with a variety of needs, including posting documents, couriering packages, and photocopies. Please note it closes at 18:00 with the rest of the airport. It can be found in the main lobby of the airport.

They lost my bag and I still have not received it

Not consistent with the food quality (I mean taste not freshness)

Safe and stable made me sleepy and I slept and dreamt 😂😂😂😂

Food was really mediocre for premium economy in comparison to other airlines… the crew was nowhere to be found… 14 hour flight…

Our flight crew were terrific. And they handle a difficult passenger with finesse.

Excellent, Lima to Paris. But Paris to Amsterdam, delayed, missed my flight and KLM treated its missed flights passengers very badly, terribly bad. No hotel accommodation given. Passengers were told to find their own hotel accommodation and claim at reasonable rate and left the booth and literally with armed Police Officers listening to passengers complains. For three hours, after moving by Uber from hotel to hotel and calling and booking online, no hotel was available. I had to return to the airport and seat/sleep on the benches, suffering the cold, and rats running around until my new allocated flight the next day. It was the most terrible KLM treatment even seen and being a Business Class passenger. Still mentally suffering to date as a result.

3 hour delay but out of their control. App said I get vouchers but when I applied for them, they were nowhere to be found in my account

I don't understand the concept of paying to get your personal luggage onboard and then asked to check it in.... either sell the space or don't, its a hassle to carry those all through the airport just to make a check in at the last minute.

The food was great and the service and attitude was amazing!!

It was a great experience. The only thing I would have changed was that the bathrooms were never cleaned and they got very dirty.

Staff could have been friendlier and offered drinks more often

the cabin was kept too hot. couldn't sleep as a result

Majority of the staff were simply awesome and very very supportive and helpful

Good overall. Seat spacing a bit tight between IST and ISB.

Excellent staff despite some trying passenger situations. Very impressed with their good attitudes and kindness.

They have adopted a crazy "no paper boarding passes at all cost policy". We spent half an our at the checkin stall – my elderly mother and her grandchildren were flying. She had no phone reception for some reason (besides being an inexperienced smartphone user), the kids had dumbphones, And they still won't issue a paper boarding pass. We had to do a lengthy dance with getting the boarding pass SMS on my phone and transferring them to her phone via WiFi. This was horrible, honestly. I can't imagine how they could manage it without me being there. Trees (and airline profits) should be less important than people.

Typically good service onboard but baggage delay in airport was significant

We were charged for checking in our bags! One bag per person was supposed to have been included in the ticket price, and yet Turkish Airlines charged us nearly $200 per bag!

this was a short flight in business class. I had problem in the Istambul airport - the lounge for Turkish Airlines was too far and we never were able to reach it

nice and clean plane but the seats and the comfort was not what i expected. i expected more based on all the ads and reviews that i've read. I guess you get what you pay for in economy.

Spacious and clean aircraft. Good food. Economy will always be squeezed but thankfully I had an aisle seat for stretching exercises. Good selection of movies, particularly Spike Lee joint.

Unfriendly, 8 hours delayed, no lounge access even flying business. Don’t fly Brussels

Flight from London was delayed so missed the connecting flight. Taking 2 days to get to destination which should have only taken a few hours.

Too cramped up for the better seats I paid for.

I didn’t like my seat in my return flight from Montreal to Orlando at all; considering I paid extra for better seats. That middle seat was cramped up way too much.

Suitcase didn’t arrive to Stockholm. Chairs y comfy and not even water is offered

Bad baggage and people management at boarding forcing me to dispatch my bad despite being the perfect size and respecting everything perfectly, whereas many did not and many free empty spots on the plane as usual… making me loose time and my planned bus at arrival to go to Geneva. Costing me 100 euros extra! So Brussels airlines needs to refund me

I never board the flight. My visa was delayed and when I tried calling Kayak, no one answer and I still have not heard from anyone.

All great. Very efficient. Good emails that kept us in the know

Original flight was canceled, booked another one and find out when checking I was on the waiting list. Horrible experience

The TV wasn't working No music for the whole flight from JFK to LOS It was too burring.

Flight was delayed by two hours. This really messed things up because I missed my connecting flight in Addis. I had a meeting in Entebbe which was scrapped because my flight from Addis landed later in the day.

To the Ethiopian Airlines Customer Relations Team, I am writing to formally express my disappointment regarding my recent travel experience with Ethiopian Airlines on flight 629/352. Unfortunately, the level of service provided fell significantly short of the standards I expected from your airline. I would like to highlight the following serious issues encountered during the journey: • Cabin Condition and Hygiene: The aircraft cabin was notably poorly maintained. The seating area was dirty, and there was a persistent, unpleasant odor throughout the flight, which made the environment very uncomfortable for passengers. • Inadequate Service: The overall level of service provided by the staff was unsatisfactory and did not reflect a professional passenger experience. • Baggage Loss: Upon arrival, I was informed that my luggage was lost. This is particularly distressing as it has caused significant personal inconvenience and disruption to my schedule. As a frequent traveler, I value reliability and a clean cabin environment. I request that you investigate these matters immediately, provide an update on the status of my missing baggage, and outline how you intend to compensate for these failures in service. I look forward to your prompt response and a resolution to my lost luggage claim. Sincerely, Puguh

Planes are good. However the entertainement system is slow. The headphones are of low quality and I could hardly hear a movie The movies lack subtitiles

It is nice and great but the houstees crew are all the way back arguing with customers and behavior issues same of the crew i saw that also all the trips were very much butter!

Our first flight was delayed and when we got off that plane, nobody was really helping to direct us to the next gate. It was very frustrating. One staff simply said hurry, which wasn’t helpful. We had to go a long way to get to the next gate. Another issue on the plane itself was the bathrooms were disgusting and filthy and it didn’t seem like anybody was checking on them were cleaning them and it was a long flight. There was urine on the floor and they stunk. Also, the screen in front of my seat did not work, and I tried different headphones and still had no sound. You would think somehow those things are reviewed occasionally for working order.

They only gave us 30 minutes to make an international connecting flight. We didn’t make the connection but they did do a good job rebooking us despite the chaos. Our bags didn’t make it back and their process for customer support is pretty bad when it comes to luggage.

The Boeing 737 MAX on this route, flown in the middle of the night, is an UTTER FAILURE for business travellers. The whole point of business travel is to arrive alert and recover from travel quickly, and this little aeroplane with its quarter recline uncomfortable business seats does nothing for that. It’s a small step up from economy in that you have decent legroom, but that’s it. Absolute margin at the cost of the traveller.

The food was terrible and the seating was uncomfortable, but the airline did a great thing letting us board in Abbis Ababa on our connecting flight after our original flight was very delayed.

My flight was great. Service by the crew was great. Only issue I had wss it got extremely warm mid way thru the flight. To the point it was a little uncomfortable

As usual, the flight was late with the typical excuse of "a technical issue beyond our control." This is the same excuse they use every late flight which is EVERY flight.

3 hours delay for a 1.5h flight on a stinky plane

The food was horrible and the service was even worse, the entertainment was broken and missing control stick, even boarding was unorganised unprofessional, even the seats was loose, 5 hrs delay going and almost 3hrs delay coming back, the only thing is direct flight but with all the delays I can get a lot better airline for cheaper and a lot better service.

Very good service with EGYPTAIR, would definitely recommend flying with them.

To be honest, there has been a significant improvement in the level of EgyptAir in terms of service and food quality.

Very basic service in business class. Mediocre will be the right word to describe them. Also, we arrived 8 hours late.

Flight was delayed for 3 hrs and there is nothing at the terminal except going back through security again. Food was offered but no vegetarian option

The worst experience ever, me and my little daughter suffered a lot on this trip. If there is zero or below-zero evaluation, definitely, I will give them.

Website for Egyptair Plus needs to be refined or go back to the old one...!
