When this route gets cheap.
Fares bottom out in January around $733 and peak in July near $1,302, 78% dearer, across the 7 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 10.5 hours outbound, on a 7-night trip — ticketed under easyJet, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $733 for 7,423 km each way, that works out to about $49 per 1,000 km flown. That is about the $44 per 1,000 km typical of long-haul fares here. Across the 25 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Zanzibar, this fare ranks 11th — 19% above the $615 from Frankfurt. For context, the middle fare among the 26 routes of similar length we watch out of London is $671. The best time to be in Zanzibar: Jun–Oct.

Good to know
LON → ZNZ, answered.
Is $733 a good price for London to Zanzibar?
Yes — the seasonal median for this route is around $960 round-trip. At $733 you're 24% below that, which we rate good for this route.
What is the cheapest month to fly from London to Zanzibar?
Across 7 months of cached-fare history, Jan comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Zanzibar are Jun–Oct — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book LON → Zanzibar?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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. What we can measure is which month is cheap: across 7 months of cached fares, Jan comes out lowest on this route. Our guide Why flight prices change covers what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from London to Zanzibar?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under easyJet. 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 17 October). 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.
