- How far it really runs
- The route covers 2,865 km against 2,782 km in a straight line, a detour of 3 percent. Track and road geometry account for the difference.
- Where the change is
- Connections are made at Nampula, Pemba, Johannesburg. The gap between arriving and leaving is 80 minutes, of which about 5 is walking.
- If the connection is missed

- First and last departure
- The first service of the day leaves Nairobi at 06:48 and the last at 07:30, across 4 departures. The return direction keeps its own timetable, so the times back are not these times reversed.

Where these numbers come from
Observed service A carrier record shows this named operator serving this named pair, and we carry that through unchanged.
Schedules, seat counts and fares are generated by our own model until the supplier contracts are signed. Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance are real. We would rather say that on every page than let a modeled number pass for a filed one.
