Star Alliance member Brussels Airlines offers business class flights from Amsterdam to African cities starting at just €1,311. You can reach Banjul at €1,311, Accra at €1,418 and Kigali and Entebbe at for under €1,320 but with an overnight stop in Zürich, Frankfurt or Munich.
You will usually have to take a Lufthansa or a SWISS flight and then fly to Brussels. Unfortunately taking a train directly to Brussels Airport from Amsterdam’s city centre or airport costs more for most itineraries.
You can also visit Kigali, Rwanda at €1,318, and Entebbe, Uganda at €1,315, but you’d need to add an overnight hotel in Zürich, Frankfurt or Munich.
Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates at the lowest price for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to Brussels Airlines with your preselected flight dates. You can also check our flight search engine to see more itineraries.
First, you will fly Lufthansa’s or Swiss’ short-haul business class to Brussels. The latter gives you an empty seat next to you and meals. In Brussels, you will board an Airbus A330 which features lie-flat-seating in alternating 2-1-2 and 1-2-1 patterns up front. Flights to Banjul feature a technical stop in Dakar.
Search & Book
Brussels Airlines didn’t set an expiration date, meaning that it can be gone anytime. There is a minimum stay of 8-10 nights depending on the destination.
The best way to find dates is to use our availability calendar above. Unfortunately, the best price calendar on Brussels Airline’s website doesn’t display most of the destinations. Google Flights shows inaccurate flight times. You can also check our flight search as it displays more itineraries and still lets you book through Lufthansa’s website.
