It recently launched a direct flight from New York to Nairobi, with plans to up to 20 new destinations in Africa, Europe, and Asia in the coming years. While Kenya Airways hasn't won any major awards, it's consistently ranked as one of the best African airlines and I'd heard rave reviews from friends who had flown the airline. With a flight from Nairobi, Kenya to Dubai, UAE coming up, I booked a ticket on the airline's flagship Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner to see how it stacked up. While Kenya Airways isn't quite at the level of top flag carriers like Etihad, Emirates, or Singapore Airlines for luxury, I found that it offers high-quality, friendly service, meals on most routes, complimentary alcohol, and a fleet of planes that is getting newer with the addition of eight 787 Dreamliners starting in 2014 and a proposal to add ten 737-Max planes in the near future. Kenya Airways has had a rough couple of years. While it consistently ranks as one of the top airlines in Africa, it has suffered three years of losses due to, according to Bloomberg, "a poorly executed expansion strategy and fuel-hedging contracts that saw it miss out on rock-bottom oil prices." The losses forced the company to cut employees and reduce its fleet size to stabilize. But things are starting to look up for the carrier, which is majority-owned by the Kenyan government and part-owned by Air France-KLM.

At the same time, pork prices are hitting record lows, reaching the weakest price per pound in a decade. The prices are due to a surplus caused by the trade war, which is preventing exports. Have you eaten some free bacon lately?
More | Talk | Read It Later | ShareScreenshot via NBC "Saturday Night Live" featured actors playing top Democrats that were gleeful about the Congressional spending bill passed two days earlier that allocated only a fraction of the funds desired by President Donald Trump for a barrier along the southern border. Cast members Alex Moffatt and Kate McKinnon appeared as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi who could barely resist gloating over funding negotiations. The sketch came one day after Trump announced a national emergency to circumvent lawmakers and secure additional funds for barriers along the southern border, which sparked concerns over legal challenges.
More | Talk | Read It Later | ShareMark Matousek/Business Insider I drove the 2018 Nissan Leaf for a weekend in December. The vehicle performed as I would expect given its size and price, but its 151-mile range presented challenges. I was reminded throughout the weekend of the extent to which range anxiety can limit the ways you can use an electric vehicle. Nissan will release a new version of the vehicle, the Leaf e+, in the US in the spring.
