Finding the Best Fare

The fare is dependent on a number of factors including the season, day or travel, demand, etc. and there are limited seats at our low "Firecracker" and 'Flash Fares' offers. Early booking is advised as fares tend to increase closer to the travel date.

Low Fares Calendar

Our unique Low Fares Calendar is an easy way to check indicative prices on direct flights for the coming three months. The Low Fares Calendar, located on the home page, is easy to use. Our lowest fares are indicated in green ; flights with higher fares are shown in orange or red. If you wish to proceed to make a booking just click on the date. There is no cost to check out availabilty but remember, the reservation and fare are not confirmed until payment is made.

Through-Fare Tickets

Thanks to our partner agreements with Cemair, Emirates Airlines, Ethiopian, HahnAir, Kenya Airways, Qatar Airways, RwandAir, flySafair and South African Airways it's possible to make a single booking be it from Manchester to Mfuwe, Solwezi to Singapore or Los Angeles to Livingstone –via our hub in Lusaka.

Your travel agent can book and ticket special "through fares" on many tourist and business routes operated by one of our international partners. Through fares include both the international flight to/from Lusaka ( or Jo'burg) and the Proflight Zambia part of the itinerary.

Booking a single ticket provides added protection; in the unlikely case of you missing your international flight or a delay on your Proflight connection we'll take responsibility for re-booking you, etc, - see our Bill of Rights for more information.
