Direct flights JFK-NBO start October 2018
Starting tomorrow (fingers crossed!) you should be able to book direct, nonstop flights from NYC-JFK to Nairobi on Kenya Air. Looks like flight time will be about 15 hours. This is great news for Kenya safarigoers, as it really cuts down on the transit time in Europe!

Cali, the arrival/departure times are excellent! Leaves NYC at 1:30 p.m. EST and arrives in Nairobi at 10:30 a.m. You could in theory get the latest flights out to your safari destination later that day and eliminate a need to crash at a hotel for that first overnight. Coming home, they leave at 10:30 p.m., so you could get a late checkout at your camp and take the later flight back to Nairobi. I've an itinerary request out already for November, it just seems too good to pass up!

AmyB, thanks. Those are great times!! I could transfer from Calif to NYC on an overnight flight from SFO , arrive in morning, and voila!!
Now to check on Kenya Air for frequent flyer miles. Ive flown Kenya Air only once, Entebbe to Nairobi. and it was fine.
