Cheap Flights to Ndola

There are currently no direct flights from the UK to Ndola, Zambia. Every available route includes at least one layover, often in cities such as Addis Ababa, Nairobi, Doha, or Johannesburg.

If you're flying from the UK, these are the airlines that operate to Ndola with one stop:

• Kenya Airways (via Nairobi)

• Ethiopian Airlines (via Addis Ababa)

• British Airways (via Johannesburg or Europe, with partner airlines)

• Air France / KLM (via Paris or Amsterdam)

• Qatar Airways (via Doha)

The ideal time to book flights to Ndola is around 45 days before your travel date. If you leave it too late, prices usually rise fast, especially around holidays. Also, try looking at mid-week departures. Fares on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from the UK are often much lower. And avoid booking on a Friday if you can, as prices usually jump before the weekend.

Ndola’s main airport is Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe International Airport, and that’s where you will be arriving. When your flight lands here, you’ll be just minutes away from central Ndola. The airport is small and straightforward, so you won't have trouble getting through. Flights from the UK usually stop in Nairobi, Addis Ababa, or another large hub before continuing to Ndola.

Once you arrive, you’ll find the basics you need, like taxis, currency exchange, and SIM cards. If you're heading to nearby towns like Kitwe or Chingola, this is the airport you’ll use.

The best time to fly to Ndola is August, as it’s the quietest month for travel, and that usually means the cheapest flights. You can also look at May and February because these are often cheaper too. They’re low-demand months, so prices tend to drop.

The sweet spot for booking is around 40 days before you fly. If you leave it too late or book way too early, you might miss the best fares.

There aren’t any direct flights from London to Ndola, and the whole trip (including stops) usually takes 16 to 20 hours. Your total time in the air depends on your layover. Some are just a couple of hours. Others stretch overnight. The best thing to do is check the full journey time before booking. Some longer options look cheaper at first, but drag out the trip.

If you’re flying from Heathrow or Gatwick, you’ll find the most options. Airlines like Kenya Airways and Ethiopian Airlines are popular for this route.

Keep in mind, you’ll probably arrive in Ndola the next day after you leave London. So give yourself a bit of breathing room with travel plans once you land.

If you’re after the lowest price, August is the cheapest month to travel to Ndola.  It’s usually less busy, so airlines often drop their prices. Some travellers also find cheap tickets in May or October, when fewer people are travelling. February is another option, especially because it’s the rainy season and not many tourists go then.

Yes, Zambia Airways is operating in 2025. It restarted operations in December 2021, after a long break. Right now, it’s mostly doing domestic and regional routes, like flying between Lusaka and Ndola. So if you're already in Zambia and need to get around, it’s a good option to have.

No, British Airways doesn’t fly directly to Ndola. If you book with them, you’ll have at least one stop, usually through Johannesburg or a major European city. In many cases, the last part of your journey will be handled by one of British Airways' partner airlines, like South African Airways or Kenya Airways. It all runs under one booking, but you might be flying on a different plane for the second leg.

Flights from London to Ndola usually start from around £636 to £661 for return fares. Most round-trip economy tickets cost between £665 and £800. The exact price depends on three things:

• Airline

• Time of year

• How early you book.

If you're travelling during peak seasons like holidays, you should expect to pay more. In some cases, the flight prices can be around £1,000 or more. Booking in advance gives you the best chance to avoid that.

When you check fares, look closely at what’s included. Many airlines show lower ticket prices but charge extra for things like baggage or meals. Some economy round-trip fares around £787 will include full service, while others might not.

The good news is that UK citizens do not need a visa to visit Zambia. For tourist travel, entry is visa-free for stays of up to 90 days within any 12-month period.

When you arrive in Zambia, immigration will still check a few things. First things first, your passport must have at least six months left before it expires. You also need proof of your return or onward travel and enough money to support yourself while you're there.

You won’t need to apply online or fill in any visa forms in advance. But it's always a good idea to double-check entry rules before your trip, just in case anything changes.

Yes, Zambia is considered a safe country for tourists. The UK government does not warn against travel there, and there are no restrictions. Most visits are trouble-free, and the people are known for being friendly and welcoming.

Still, like anywhere, there are a few things to be aware of. Stay cautious at night and keep valuables out of plain view. Also, try not to use your phone in crowded public spaces. It’s also wise to avoid protests or large gatherings, just to stay on the safe side.
