SCOTS will be able to travel to a world-famous mountain location thanks to new connecting flights from several airports.
Air France has said from Monday, November 18, Brits travelling from Edinburgh, Newcastle, Manchester, Birmingham, and London Heathrow will be able to connect to three flights a week from Paris-Charles de Gaulle to Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, East Africa.
The new route comes as part of an extension to the airline's flights to Zanzibar – close to Kilimanjaro.
It will be operated on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays using an Airbus A350-900.
The Paris – Zanzibar – Kilimanjaro route will replace the Paris – Zanzibar – Dar Es Salam route operated by the travel company until now.
However, they say Dar Es Salam will remain accessible via Amsterdam with KLM operating flights to the Tanzanian capital seven times a week.
Here are the flight times for the new route:
- AF874: departs Paris-Charles de Gaulle at 10.10am on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, arriving in Zanzibar at 9.10pm. Departure from Zanzibar at 10.55pm, arrival in Kilimanjaro at 11.55pm (same day).
- AF874 (same flight number): departs Kilimanjaro at 1.25am on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, arriving at Paris-Charles de Gaulle at 8.50am (same day).
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
