London to Kilimanjaro question
Hello FTers
My daughter is planning trip to Kilimanjaro in July, for a student placement. I am looking at routes to get here there. Favourite seems to be to take BA to Nairobi (Avios to the rescue) then onward with Precision Air or Kenya Airways.
Does anyone have any insights into how this may work? It seems she will have to stay overnight in Nairobi. Is there an airport hotel? Will she need to pass through immigration?
I would much appreciate any information.

Qatar Airways also flies to JRO via Doha & Dar Es Salaam so if you could find an Avios ticket all the way would save you the hotel, visa & Precision Air flight. It's probably going to be hard but worth a look.
Other options include ET, TK & KL. KL would probably be the easiest as it would be a one stop via AMS with the least amount of time spent traveling. Not sure if you have any SkyTeam miles or if availability will exist.
