Oneworld members Qatar Airways & Iberia are offering a deal from Spain to Nairobi, Kenya – starting at just €432 from Barcelona, Malaga and Madrid. Sadly, flights from Malaga require a long, 8-hour layover on the inbound flight.
This deal includes 23 kg of checked luggage. Departures are available from September 2025 through April 2026. While this deal technically sold by Iberia, the only way to get the best prices is booking through online travel agencies.

Depending on your departure airport, you will fly to Doha with the following combinations of planes and seat configurations:
- Malaga: Qatar Airways Airbus A350 (3-3-3)
- Madrid: Qatar Airways Boeing 787 (3-3-3), Boeing 777 (3-4-3), Iberia A330 (2-4-2), or Iberia A350 (3-3-3)
- Barcelona: Qatar Airways Boeing 787 (3-3-3)
From Doha, you will continue to Nairobi either on an Airbus A350-900 or Boeing 777-300ER.
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).
Qatar Airways also sells cheap tickets from Spain to the Seychelles.

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.
