And for those of you who have completed your trips, can you tell us about Kenya Airways and Air Seychelles service on any of these flights? I have CDG-SEZ in J class booked, but am not expecting much (although AF isnt that great either besides their comfortable, lie-flat seat)
NW intra-Africa award is 25K in Y and 50K in J http://www.nwa.com/worldperks/direct...s/africa.shtml

No experience with HM.

For KQ longhaul, 777 seats are very good, much better than KL IMO, but the IFE is a bit of a letdown. Soft product is OK but nothing to write home about. No experience with their 767 but understand that it's an older seat. For NBO-SEZ, seating is similar to domestic first on US carriers. There's no lounge access at SEZ for KQ J pax. If you're flying HM from SEZ, their new lounge seemed quite nice looking (I only got to peek inside).
