I’m not finding many options to fly out of that area in 1961. What I’ve found so far is BOAC and East African “Airways serving that area, and both had London - Nairobi flights. According to this, the farthest east they went at that time was Bombay.

When I look on expedia for Honolulu-Nairobi flights, the stops are all in Europe - Amsterdam, London, etc.

As for ships, I doubt there would have been any direct service from Hawaii to Nairobi. The closest I can find is 15 days from Honolulu to Manila, on a luxury liner that would have been new in 1962.”

Thanks, sometime lurker. Have any info on flights from Bombay to Mombassa?

Find the flight from a few days prior to his birth to the return dates...she was in Washington State within weeks of Obama’s birth?

Could there be a passenger list from that long ago?

I don't, but here's the link I used to find what I have, BOAC schedules for April 1960, the closest I could find. I won't have time to look today, but good hunting.
