Flights to Malawi

Starting from the USA

Coming from the USA, you have choices to make about your flights. In broad terms, your two options for the flight arrangements are:

1)
You arrange your return flights USA -> London and London -> USA for yourself.
Expert Africa arranges the London -> Lilongwe/Blantyre and Lilongwe/Blantyre -> London flights for you.

The reason for this is we can then organise linked, connecting flights all the way through from London through to your final destination, which is really important. This means your regional flight within Africa (e.g. from Johannesburg to Lilongwe/Blantyre) is linked to you international ticket, therefore the airlines have the obligation to get you through to your end destination, even if there are flight delays. (Please do speak to us about this for further clarification if you’d like). However, you need to make sure that you have plenty of turn-around time between flights in London.

2)
You arrange your own flights USA -> Malawi and Malawi -> USA, either via London or on any other route, and advise us of the flight times and carriers.
Expert Africa arranges your arrangements in Malawi for you, including any smaller flights within Malawi.

This makes more sense if you are flying direct from the US – e.g., on the service linking Atlanta with Jo’burg. If you choose to arrange your own intercontinental flights, then it's best to book any regional connecting flights at the same time, on the same ticket, using the same company who arranges your intercontinental flight E.g.: links between Jo’burg and Lilongwe and/or Blantyre. This way there's no danger of you being left with two separate flights which do not connect, in case one flight changes.
