    Flown Kenya air on a trip back to the USA from Tanzania . Was honestly the best experience I had with pilots handling a storm over Kilimanjaro and getting us into Nairobi safly , but due to the storm our flight was delayed back to Amsterdam having me miss the flight from Amsterdam to JFK . But Kenya airways and KLM provided a hotel for me and the group I was with as well as an upgraded seat selection on our flight back to the us the next morning . As a souvenir the flight attendants gave us clean beautiful blankets as we got to Amsterdam. It was honestly the best flying experience I ever had . I would just go back to have KLM and Kenya airways take me where ever ❤️

    I've had good experience flying Kenya Airways (thankfully). Their economy class seats have really good leg room. The only thing I find boring is the entertainment. They don't really have the best selection of movies. Other than that, I can't complain. However, I plan to fly KQ with my toddler next year so I guess we'll see what that's like. Great video by the way :-)

    My cousin and I were supposed to fly to Kenya for a safari travelling Kenya Air on 5th August this year. I booked it last August and as we all know coronovirus hit the world. Thanks a lot China.
    We were in business class and the safari was a private one just the two of us.
    I have flown BC on this airline before but my cousin has not. To say I am incandescence with rage is putting it mildly. We are both so bitterly disappointed, like the other millions of people who have had their lives devastated by this horrible disease. Still in lock down which is the correct but it will take years to get the economy back on course. Hoping the travel company will roll our booking over to next year, feel so sorry for the staff in the lodges etc who may lose their jobs because the tourists can no longer travel. Stay safe everyone.
