    This major renovation coasted over 963 million Kenyan Shillings (6.7 million USD) and even thought not perfect, it is quite an upgrade and deserves recognition. With this modern but minimalistic look the terminal offers easy check-in, many shopping and dining options in addition to airport lounges such as Aspire, Kenya Airways, Turkish Airlines and Plaza Premium Lounge which we reviewed here. • Nairobi Got A New Airp...
    We highly suggest you visit one of the two Tembo Restaurants inside the restaurant located inside Terminal 1A and 1B. You will not find better food inside the Nairobi Airport.

    You are absolutely right the JKIA in nairobi needs to be world class sgr is better I really hope the govt takes note and commissions a world class airport Kenya being a tourist destination. I remember coming from Joburg and Doha and I couldn't help but feel depressed.

      ​ @chrisamoi8663 They have been planning to do that for the last 20yrs but every new government elected eats that money, since the VIP's have their section which is okay for them. So no, they will not be doing that any time soon.

    I felt like you were holding back about the airport but comes with your role. As a Kenyan I can freely says it sucks! Our taxes could have been used better. From the poor arrivals to air conditioning, having to use stairs esp for disabled people, not so clean toilets, walking in the rain when you arrive… argh. Good video though

    • @DaveMani
      @DaveMani  Před 2 měsíci +12

      I do understand your point. Arrival wise, its awful!!! One of the worst arrival terminal I have seen in the world! It literally a disgrace to the country.
      With that being said, the new terminal is a big upgrade. Is it perfect? NO, the security section is slow and bad and the design of the terminal is to narrow. BUT they finally have more store, lounges and shops and the design is much more modern and doesn't look like its still 1995.
