When this route gets cheap.
The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 18.5 hours outbound, on a 41-night trip — ticketed under Turkish Airlines, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $593 for 14,060 km each way, that works out to about $21 per 1,000 km flown. That is well under the $42 per 1,000 km that ultra-long-haul fares on this board typically run. Of the 12 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Nairobi, this is the cheapest right now — 16% under the next one, New York. It is also the 3rd cheapest of the 29 routes of similar length we watch out of Houston. We have 1 month of cached prices for this route so far — not enough to call a fare cheap or expensive, so we publish the price without a percentage. Fare history here is still too short to name a cheap season. The best time to be in Nairobi: Jun–Oct · Jan–Feb.
We are still collecting this route's months — 1 month of cached prices so far, too few to chart.

Good to know
HOU → NBO, answered.
How far in advance should I book HOU → Nairobi?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. Our guide Why flight prices change covers the levers we can measure.
Are there nonstop flights from Houston to Nairobi?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Turkish Airlines. We hold no nonstop fare on this route right now, which does not mean none flies — search your exact dates to see what does.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on 30 September). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
