How long is the flight to Kisumu?
Flights from the United States to Kisumu, Kenya range from about 17h-40h. The precise length of your flight will depend on your departure city, and the number and length of stopovers you incur. If you’re departing from the east coast, you’re more likely to have a flight time on the shorter end of the range, as opposed to those who are flying out of the west coast, who will likely experience flights on the longer end of the spectrum due to distance and the increased chance of stopovers.
Where can you get direct flights to Kisumu from?
