120K miles for J strikes me as a great value. I can't see doing 160K for F as KL is only two class. Not sure if I will cross the Atlantic on AF, though, in which case F would be nice. Of course, if I depart from PHL, it is two class with the new J... oh, the choices.

Thanks again. Really very helpful.
Andymo99 When we did our safari in Kenya I was very happy that we went FC. The flight time (IIRC) from LHR was about 12 hours; that, after 10 hours from LAX/ LHR. Definitely start exploring all FC options ASAP. Also, consider a little side-trip to the Seychelles and flying back via Mahe. IMHO it is the perfect trip and you will welcome the beautiful waters and beaches after the rigorous safari.
