Nairobi is about a 15-hour nonstop flight from New York JFK. Kenya Airways is currently the only airline running direct service from the US to Kenya. The flight operates from JFK and takes you straight to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO), which is the main gateway for East African safaris, Masai Mara trips, and business travel to Kenya. The nonstop option saves you a layover that could otherwise add 6 to 10 hours to your total travel time through European or Middle Eastern hubs.
