*A flight to NBO?
 

I am trying to get to Nairobi from SFO on *A but cant find any *A flights from LHR or FRA? Anyone know if there is a way to do the trip on *A flights?

*A does not fly to Nairobi, according to the integrated destination guide on www.staralliance.com

Not on *A unfortunately. :(

To get to Nairobi, you'll have to fly:

• Kenya Airways
• KLM Royal Dutch Airlines
• British Airways
• SN Brussels Airlines

LH to NBO
 

IIRC, LH used to fly to NBO - but it looks like they don't any more. Does anyone know when they stopped this service, or is it my imagination that they ever had it?

Yeah, when I saw the post title, I too immediately thought that LH flew to Nairobi from FRA. So maybe both of us were just imagining it...???

One alternative I can think of to maximise star operated flights would be to fly to Jo'burg or CPT on LH, and then continue on SAA to NBO.
Also out of the star FFP's I know that atleast LH and BD allow you to earn award miles for SAA flights also. So some consolation there I guess...

LH certainly used to fly to NBO, but I believe they stopped the flights some time ago because of the security situation when the terrorist bombings happened. Same for AF.

EK (Emirates) serves NBO from DXB. EK is not in *A but you can earn and redeem on UA. A roundtrip award ticket DXB-NBO-DXB costs 45,000 UA miles in Y, 95,000 in C, and 145,000 in F. Cash fares range from $500-1100 in Y depending on when you travel. The flight is about 4 hours flying time each way (5 hours scheduled door to door).
