Kennedy International Airport (JFK) for Kamuzu International Airport. Typically, one-stop options from here will land at either Nairobi (NBO), Kenya or Addis Ababa (ADD), Ethiopia before completing the trip. There are also two stop options that may layover at one of these cities as well as Washington, D.C. or Toronto, Canada, among others.

These routes will usually include at least one stop at one of the same airports as those departing from JFK. Alternatively, flights that have two or three stops may include other American, European or African cities on their layover schedules: New York City, New York; Brussels, Belgium; Blantyre, Malawi; Abidjan, Ivory Coast; and Dubai, United Arab Emirates are all potential layover stops. If you’re located on the West Coast of the United States, then there are also several options. Departures leave from San Francisco International Airport (SFO) daily. These routes will include any range of the same layover locations as those that depart from both John F. Kennedy International Airport and from O’Hare International Airport. If you are heading to Lilongwe, Malawi from the southeastern part of the United States, then you can depend on a number of options that will leave from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), on the eastern coast of the state of Florida, just north of Maimi. These flights, too, will stop at any one of the aforementioned cities in America, Europe and Africa, as well as others.
