I'll check on the visa. Worried about a cancellation as I'm connecting to a separate paid biz class ticket. Not a lot of good options from SEZ-NBO.
Travelling the day before to NBO or a day later from NBO is an option. Albeit with costs. May be cheap self funded
insurance.
If the KQ flight /aircraft to Male the morning/afternoon has a problem you will know you will not get out on time. As a guess it will turn around and fly back to NBO (with you)
But no showing NBO- FCO could/would have large cost implications.
Worth phoning KQ, but may be hard to get a reliable reply.
Edit
KQ251 was cancelled 11 Jun 2019 . On time the 2 previous days
