KQ can't be booked online. In fact you'll need an agent that understands how to do "direct access" bookings.

KQ a lot of times has great fares, including in J. Thus it depends on when you fly in regards to value.

Has anyone tried to redeem DL miles on KQ for later this year or early next year? Is it still only available by calling DL? Trying to get on the nonstop from JFK to NBO.

Health Alert: Kenya, International Flights to Resume August 1
Location: KenyaEvent: The Government of Kenya lifts the suspension of international flights entering and departing the country on August 1st.
Passengers entering Kenya are required to present a negative COVID-19 test result. The test result is valid for entry if produced no more than seven days before deplaning in Kenya.
There is no mandatory quarantine for arriving passengers unless they are symptomatic.
Passenger Locator Cards (PLC, provided both on the flight and at the airport terminal) will be used to track passengers entering Kenya.
Passengers may be subject to quarantine restrictions if any passengers within two rows of their seat appear symptomatic.
Passengers departing Kenya should follow COVID-19 requirements of the destination country. There is no COVID-19 test requirement to depart Kenya.
At the airport, temperature checks will help identify passengers with a body temperature of 37.5C (99.5F) or higher. Any passenger with an elevated body temperature shall be referred for secondary assessment by Port Health staff present at the airport who will handle the passenger in accordance with public health guidelines. If a passenger is confirmed to have a fever he/she will not be allowed to board their flight.
Evidence of a flight is sufficient to exempt drivers from any penalty who are collecting or depositing passengers from flights arriving after curfew hours.
