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.
Mileage
This ticket is issued in booking class K. Here are the miles and points you can earn from this deal:
- 2,896 Miles on ANA Mileage Club

Destination
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.
