Prices are one-way per traveler: the program's points or miles plus taxes and carrier fees in USD, as AwardTool observed them in the observation window. Award space changes constantly. A seat we saw may be gone, and space we haven't seen may exist. Always confirm with a live search before transferring points; most transfers can't be reversed.

Questions about Kenya Airways business-class awards
Which routes between regions had the most business-class award dates with Kenya Airways?
London Heathrow (LHR) to Johannesburg (JNB) (329 dates, Virgin Atlantic); Lagos (LOS) to London Heathrow (LHR) (329 dates, Flying Blue); Johannesburg (JNB) to London Heathrow (LHR) (326 dates, Virgin Atlantic); Dubai (DXB) to Nairobi (NBO) (324 dates, Virgin Atlantic); Nairobi (NBO) to Dubai (DXB) (324 dates, Virgin Atlantic). Counts are departure dates with an open business-class award for one program whose results included Kenya Airways, in the last 30 days; not every date was on Kenya Airways.
What's the lowest business-class award between regions on Kenya Airways alone that AwardTool has seen?
35,000 points + $151.12 on Dubai (DXB) to Nairobi (NBO) with Virgin Atlantic Flying Club, which showed business-class award space on that route on 324 departure dates in the last 30 days, every award on Kenya Airways flights. Prices from a program with business-class space on only one date are left out of this answer, and so are routes within one region, which the tables above list.
Which programs showed Kenya Airways on business-class awards?
Virgin Atlantic Flying Club (79 routes) and Air France/KLM Flying Blue (16 routes), in the last 30 days. A program counts when its business-class results for a route included a Kenya Airways flight.

Departures in Mar 2027: 80 routes had open business-class dates in results that included Kenya Airways. The lowest month price on Kenya Airways alone on a route between regions was 35,000 points in every month from Oct 2026 to Sep 2027 (DXB–NBO, Virgin Atlantic). A record of what AwardTool observed, not a forecast.
