Hello, All - I'm a 1K on United and never fly on Delta except for the occasional involuntary reroute. As such, I'm a skymiles dummy but have been clocking up some skymiles through various promotions, namely the Avis 4-day rental/5,000 mile deal. Since UA only offers 1,250 miles per 4 day rental, I figured I'd credit to Delta and get something out of it sooner or later.

Now I'm planning on redeeming with United to go from IAD-Capetown-Nairobi-IAD in the summer of 2009. While in Nairobi, we'd like to go to the Seychelles. I see that Kenya Airways flies NBO-Seychelles on certain dates and am interested in using SkyMiles to redeem for that flight.

I've looked all over on the SkyMiles page and on this board and can't figure out how many miles it would be to get from NBO-Seychelles, roundtrip. Does anyone have any experience with this - how easy it is to redeem, how many miles, etc? Thanks a lot!
