Many people need to travel to Afghanistan for business or to visit a loved one. Ariana Afghan Airlines helps make the process of flying into Afghanistan fairly simple by providing the option to book travel online.
Book your tickets through the Ariana Afghan Airlines Web site (see Resources below). You can also book tickets to Kabul from the U.S. or Canada by calling 1-866-330-3431. This is Ariana Afghan Airlines' North American reservations number.
Look for helpful tools for travelers on the airline's Web site, including a map with flight routes to use as a reference. There are also plans to incorporate a hotel and car reservation section into the Web site.
Click on the "Reservations" section on the upper left-hand side of the airline's homepage. Choose a round-trip or a one-way ticket from the Book a Flight drop-down menu. You may want to buy return tickets before entering Afghanistan, since some savvy passengers have noted it is easier to fly into Afghanistan than to fly out of it.
Select a city of departure and/or arrival. Kabul is the main hub for Ariana's fleet, so choosing it as a destination point will offer more flight options.
Follow the prompts to select your travel dates, along with the number of people traveling. Flights are not as frequent as they are on some major airline carriers. Most Ariana Airline flights are scheduled once a week, with only one departure time.
Submit the information by clicking on "Book." Review the accuracy of the information on the itinerary, along with the ticket price, before continuing.
Enter personal contact, additional passenger and billing information. Expect your tickets to be fairly expensive. Once the payment is completed, a message will be sent to the personal email account you have provided.
Go to your email inbox and open the email from Ariana Afghan Airlines. Follow the steps to finalize receipt of passenger ticket(s). Complete the above steps, and the booking process is done.
