This exciting collaboration provides Absa cardholders with the opportunity to explore new destinations at reduced fares, making travel more accessible and affordable.
The newly announced deal, valid for a limited sales period until April 4, 2025, allows Absa cardholders to enjoy a 12% discount on international return flights and a 7% discount on domestic return flights operated by Kenya Airways.
“Enjoy 12% off on International flights and 7% off on Domestic Flights using your ABSA card for a limited sales period. Book through our website or the KQ mobile app available on the Play Store or Apple Store,” read part of KQ statement.
