Hi
I am travelling nyc - nbo - entebbe with kenya airways all out of terminal 1 and have only 1 hr to connect. Is this doable?
Thank you
Umbato Safaris
Hi Beatriz, Yes this is possible to transit within the 1hr.
First your luggage has to be tagged to final destination(entebe) then have your boarding pass electronically printed from NYC
The only challenge i can anticipate would be at the one security which you may find lengthy queues

I am flying into Nairobi, Kenya (NBO) on June 16th. I arrive at Terminal 1E, and have to go to Terminal 1A for a flight to Kilimanjaro, Tanzania (JRO). Is there transportation from Terminal 1E to Terminal 1A?

Can you walk from Terminal 1E to Terminal 1A?

Hi
I am Kenya Airlines from Cape Town through Nairobi then JFK. I only have a 50 minute lay over. Will that be enough time? The arrival and the departure gate are both from Terminal 1A
Does my baggage go through directly with Kenya airlines?
thank you
Mark
50minutes can be enough if your luggage has been tagged through to final destination.Both arrival gate and transit gate are in same terminal 1A, this should be possible.
You could also contract a fast track agent like us to assist you on your next travel to NBO

Hi,
I arrive with a domestic from Mombasa at Nairobi.
2,5 hours later depart my international to Paris with Kenya Airways.
Of course I have to go through immigration, etc...
Do I have enough time with 2,5 hours?.
Thanks
ZAP
Is the first flight also with Kenya Airways? If so that should be plenty of time.
Sura
Indeed both with Kenya Airways but tickets both seperately.
Thanks
