Well, yes, getting there isn't bad. The problem is in getting back.
The NBO-ZRH flight leaves at a wretchedly inconvenient time (midnight-ish). The NBO lounge is an unusually horrid place, with no space, disgusting refreshments, and many families seemingly having taken up permanent residence. The flight is a continuation from DAR, so the a/c is typically a mess when you board in NBO, with the DAR customers having already installed themselves. And the flight itself is on LX's fine A330, with the very worst sleeping comfort in any *A longhaul a/c.
Other than that, getting back is a delightful experience.
