When this route gets cheap.
Fares bottom out in April around $796 and peak in July near $1,205, 51% dearer, across the 10 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 9 hours outbound, on a 28-night trip — ticketed under Ethiopian, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $796 for 6,444 km each way, that works out to about $62 per 1,000 km flown. That is above 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 15th — 43% above the $557 from Istanbul. For context, the middle fare among the 10 routes of similar length we watch out of Vienna is $660. The best time to be in Zanzibar: Jun–Oct.

Good to know
VIE → ZNZ, answered.
Is $796 a good price for Vienna to Zanzibar?
Only slightly. The seasonal median is around $920 round-trip and this fare is 13% under it. We do not call a drop notable until 20%, so this is an ordinary price for the route rather than a reason to hurry.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Vienna to Zanzibar?
Across 10 months of cached-fare history, Apr 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 VIE → 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We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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 10 months of cached fares, Apr comes out lowest on this route. Our guide Why flight prices change covers what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Vienna to Zanzibar?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Ethiopian. 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.
