With Star Alliance members Lufthansa and Brussels Airlines, you can currently get inexpensive business class trips to Nairobi in Kenya from Norway, Sweden and Denmark starting at SEK 14,234 (~€1,298). A change of plane in either Brussels or Frankfurt is necessary to get this fare. Departures are available between March 2025 and January 2026, with blackout dates during school holidays.
Departures are possible from the following airports:
- Stockholm at SEK 14,234 (~€1,298)
- Gothenburg at SEK 14,425 (~€1,315)
- Oslo at NOK 17,251 (~€1,484)
- Copenhagen at DKK 10,946 (~€1,466)
Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates up to 28 days. It will forward you to Lufthansa or Brussels Airlines with your preselected flight dates.
First, you’ll fly the feeder flight to Frankfurt. Then, you’ll fly on to Nairobi with Lufthansa onboard an Airbus A340 or A330. Both planes feature a similar business class cabin, with lie-flat-seats in a 2-2-2.
Most itineraries require you to fly one segment with Brussels Airlines. The Belgian carrier features a similar business class product to Lufthansa’s on their Airbus A330 fleet.
Generally, Travel-Dealz writers and readers are not big fans of the Lufthansa business class, even though it is definitely not bad. One reason for that is that the service is too inconsistent: From extremely friendly and quick to unfriendly and slow – everything is possible with Lufthansa, even in business class. Regarding the seats, they are mostly fine, though not really on-par with the competition anymore. That’s why the airline is now slowly installing their new Allegris seats.
A traditional visa is no longer required to enter Kenya for most EU citizens. However, you must apply for an eTA (electronic travel authorization) online in advance. This is possible up to 3 months before departure and costs US$34 (~€29).
Search & Book
This deal does not have an expiration date, but a minimum stay of eight days, and a maximum stay of twelve months applies. Departures are available between March 2025 and January 2026, with blackout dates during school holidays.
The best way to search for dates is to use our availability calendar above, which will take you to Lufthansa’s website. Their website also has a best price search, although similarly to Google Flights, you’d need to fiddle with the duration of your stay to find the best results. We recommend booking through Lufthansa.
Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?
More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:
Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.
If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.
This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.
Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.
This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.
Miles & Points
The tickets are issued in booking class P. For a round trip to Nairobi from Stockholm with a transfer in Frankfurt both ways, the credit is as follows:

Information & Tips for Kenya
Kenya offers diverse attractions, including iconic safaris in Maasai Mara, Amboseli, and Tsavo National Parks, as well as the coastal beaches of Mombasa and historical sites in Nairobi. The currency is the Kenyan shilling (KES), and while credit cards are accepted in tourist areas, cash is commonly used in local markets. Prices can vary, with safaris and upscale accommodations being expensive, but budget-friendly options are available for food and transport. The weather is generally warm and sunny, with a rainy season from March to May, making the best time to visit typically from June to October.
Kenya’s transport infrastructure is a mix of modern and traditional systems. In cities like Nairobi, public transport is mainly through matatus (minibuses) or ride-hailing apps, though traffic congestion can be a challenge. The city’s train network is expanding, offering another option. For intercity travel, long-distance buses and flights are common, with buses being more affordable but slower. Domestic flights are fast and convenient, especially for accessing remote areas like the coast or safari destinations. However, road conditions can vary, and travel outside urban centres may require more time or planning.
