Flying to Africa

Airfares to Africa can be very expensive, but there are ways to save. For example, flying from London to a former British colony, or from Paris to a former French colony, could easily save you thousands. So, get a cheap ticket from London to Paris (or vice versa) and fly to Africa from there. Always book the Africa portion of travel first, be sure to allow lots of connection time.
From the USA, there are a few non-stop flights to Africa, for example from New York City, Washington, and Atlanta. Outside the peak travel times to Europe (e.g. summer) you might be able to get a good deal to London or Paris and book a connecting flight from there to Africa. But don't book the USA to Europe portion until you get confirmed on the Europe to Africa portion first. Through fares to Africa from the USA can be quite expensive, so avoiding peak travel times to Europe can sometimes save a lot. However, since new non-stop flights to Africa have recently been added, and Europe is much more expensive than it used to be, try getting a direct quote first, then see if you can do better.

There are a number of reliable airlines that fly the African Continent. Chief among them are certainly:
South African Airways (SAA (South Africa), is by far Africa's premier airline and has daily flights to most major African political and economic hubs. If you're flying from the Northern Hemisphere to somewhere north of South Africa, don't forget to check how much backtracking you'll have to do, and if it's worth it. The flight from New York does stop in Senegal, but if you get off there, SAA has no connections to anywhere else.
Ethiopian Airlines (Addis Ababa, Ethiopia), offers a direct service from many European cities & Washington Dulles Airport in USA to its hub Addis Ababa. From there it has a very good coverage to many cities in Africa. Its mileage can be used on Lufthansa services & Lufthansa miles can also be used on Ethiopian.
Kenya Airways (Nairobi, Kenya), partly owned by Royal Dutch KLM, offers good service and frequent flights to all East African countries and many other major African destinations.
Air France has flights to most West African capitals. Many other African carriers offer flights to more remote locations. Airlines in your home country may offer some flights to Africa with less backtracking. For example, there are flights to Ghana on Delta Airlines from New York, and several European airlines fly there as well.
