Sadly on my outbound 21 MAR the 0920 arrives AMS at 1125 and NBO departs 1150 ouch!

On the way back on 29 MAR we land AMS at 0715, but there is only the late afternoon back to SOU at 1640

So it will be most likely be LCY or LHR with KLM (or AF LHR via CDG only)

I am using up my zillions of Virgin Flying Club points to take my sister on a Kenya 'Out of Africa' Safari with Business Class flights (VS is a spend points partner with KL/AF)
Or, for the outbound I have enough Avios for BA non stop LHR-NBO flight in WT+ which is fine for an 8 hours Day flight, and do Business Class for the night flight home.
I wonder if it has something to do with the Dutch government enforcing less flights at AMS. I guess after 25 March is when the peak summer period starts so KL can’t spare slots for two flights for SOU. Shame as it absolutely can support it and people like you are not able to use the route despite wanting to.
