Hi everyone.

My cousin wants to go to Zambia this summer to help with a missions project there, and we need to find her the best and most affordable way to get there from the US. Can anyone offer any insights as to the best airlines, routings, places to look for good fares, airports, etc.?

Thanks!

I am going to Zambia for vacation in August. I choose to fly through Johannesburg, because that is a great jumping off point for Southern Africa. You can fly there from the US on South African Air (leaving JFK and ATL) or on Lufthansa via Frankfurt. I believe there are also flights via LHR, and Virgin probably has lower fares than British Airways to Joburg.
