KAYAK’s top tips for finding a cheap flight from New York to Lilongwe

  • John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), located to the southeast of downtown Manhattan is one of the three international airports serving New York City and the 13th-busiest airport in the U.S. Passengers are discouraged from walking between terminals due to the busy nature of the roads inside the airport loop. Nonetheless, you can use sidewalks. You can also comfortably walk between terminals that are closer together, e.g., Terminals 1 and 2, or Terminals 4 and 5.
  • JFK boasts numerous shopping stores at every terminal where you can find all travel and personal essentials including designer apparel, electronics, beauty products, and luxury goods. Terminal 5 is debatably the best place to find exceptional stylish, spacious, and sunlit shopping and dining options.
  • Do you need to rest for a while at JKF before jetting off? The airport has comfortable seats where you can lean back, stretch, and doze off for some time. However, it can be somewhat bumpy due to the stiff armrests and noise in the vicinity. There’re some sleeping pods at Terminal 5 offers, which you can access at favorable charges. Else, check out the TWA hotel for better comfort.
  • Lilongwe International Airport (LLW) has two lounges accessible by all passengers regardless of what airline you are flying - Ndege Business Class Lounge and Cloud Nine Lounge. Ndege Business Class Lounge is located in the main Terminal on the Airside at Level 1; while Cloud Nine Lounge is located at the Departure Hall.

It was a great experience for my first time flying with this airline. I will be flying with them a lot more now. Plane crew was amazing.

The flight was very smooth, however, the quality of food was mediocre.

The TV wasn't working No music for the whole flight from JFK to LOS It was too burring.

I paid for internet that did not work and had to pay more to have it

Delay not posted, only departure time listed- not boarding time. We left an hour late and arrived 45 min late. Restrooms had backed up sinks and toilets not flushed ) passenger error). Lots of screen for entertainment didn’t work. But we arrived with our luggage

I had a comfortable seat that makes my trip wonderful. I appreciate the Ethiopia crew, they were very helpful

My experience was great. The flight attendants were very helpful and nice, and the food was very good.

Terrible customer service I lost my bag luggage and I still haven’t received any information

I had a full row so can't imagine how this could be better

Good was great, but no vegetarian option: only beef or chicken. In business class please add a vegetarian option. Thanks

It was good ,I enjoyed it also crew were very respectful and patient waiting people parking their belongings.

there really needs to be more room with each seat for such a long flight.

The plane was delayed almost three hours because boarding was unorganized then we were delayed even longer because the plane had an issue. The plane didn't look well maintained, there was also alot of tape on the exterior. I won't fly kenya air ways again after this trip.

There was chaos checking because of a canceled flight the day prior. Also, we had an issue with tickets. The KQ agent went above a d beyond to help us get on board the flight Overall the 13+ hour flight is uncomfortable in coach. I may try to upgrade on return

For a long haul flight, the seats were too narrow. Paid for extra legroom but wish I could have paid for width! I was pressed against another person for the whole donation of the flight.

This one is not bad even it is late, but they apologize and every time they announced the update.

The kindness and good humor of all the people who this flight possible was a joy.

They fed me at the right time the flight was smooth and the captain explain everything

Food was awful and the seats were bad. No privacy in business class with the seat next to someone. 15 hours without WiFi!!!

Seriously one of the most disappoint experiences I have ever had when flying. My flight got delayed FIVE hours. Nobody wanted to help at the airport (“this is Kenyan booking, we cannot do anything”). I got on the phone with someone from Kenyan for one hour until he finally moved my ticket to a Delta ticket. Then the painful journey restarted - the Delta crew in land kept saying there was no other flight and ai had to wait. An agent called Gerard Robert was being so sarcastic I felt humiliated. He would say things like “you say you understand what I am saying but you are not understanding what so am saying”. I asked him to please speak in a less sarcastic tone and he said “I am not going to speak with you anymore, go find someone else”. These were his words. Tired, after 14 hours in a plane, I just wanted to cry. I looked for another agent, who was an angel and rebooked me to another flights. Thanks to her, I made it to my meeting in Washington-DC. I am going to send a formal complaint to Delta about agent Gerard Robert. It is not fair to speak with customers in that cynical, sarcastic tone. If one works in customer service, it ia important to mind that tones can make people feel humiliated. And turning the back to a customer by saying “Go find someone else” can’t be part of his training.
