Mysore to Zanzibar Flights

The Mysore to Zanzibar air route connects Mysore (MYQ) to Kisauni (ZNZ). This is one of the busiest international routes with multiple daily departures operated by 6 airlines.

As an international route, travellers need a valid passport and appropriate visa for the destination country. It's recommended to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights.

Compare fares across all airlines on FareEagle to find the best deal. Prices fluctuate based on demand, seasonality, and how far in advance you book. Generally, booking 2-4 weeks ahead for domestic flights and 6-8 weeks for international routes gives the best value.

The following airlines operate regular services between Mysore and Zanzibar. Each airline offers different fare classes, baggage allowances, and onboard services.

Full-service international carriers typically include meals, checked baggage (20-30 kg), and in-flight entertainment. Compare the total cost including baggage on FareEagle — sometimes a full-service fare with included baggage is cheaper than a low-cost fare plus add-ons.

Getting from the airport to Zanzibar

Zanzibar's Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (ZNZ) is about 5 km from Stone Town. Taxis are readily available outside the airport, with fares to Stone Town costing around $10 to $15. Pre-booked airport transfers are also a reliable option.

Things to do in Zanzibar

Food to try

Try Zanzibar pizza, a savory crepe filled with various toppings, from meat to Nutella. Sample Ugali, a staple dish made from maize flour, often served with stews or grilled meat. Enjoy fresh seafood, grilled or curried, readily available at restaurants and beachside stalls.
