The flight was only 50 mins long and the views out the window were amazing. So we didi’t notice the lack of entertainment

Free beverage and water is necessary, this needs an improvement

The plane is very clean and the flight assistants are so kind. Perfectly on time. The flight was very good overall

Kiwi charged me , and sent me the confirmation letter, but when I check in at the airport, they said the payment is declined!!! But Kiwi has already deducted my money on my bank account. I end up with buying a new ticket at a much hiher price due to the last minute booking!!!! I double paid this trip, what a horrible experience!! You need to refund me! Right now!!

my daughter is a nervous on flights - the flight attendant was an angel -calming her and assuring her that all is is OK. I really appreciated that as a parent.

They boarded backwards so our zone meant nothing!!! My TV was broken, the remote was broke, the head set jack was broke! So i was stuck for 15 hours with no form of entertainment!!! The service was ok but they didn't check on us or serve many snacks. They acted like you were a burden when you hit the call button.

The plane was delayed almost three hours because boarding was unorganized then we were delayed even longer because the plane had an issue. The plane didn't look well maintained, there was also alot of tape on the exterior. I won't fly kenya air ways again after this trip.

Sadly, flights were delayed both ways with no reasons given other than " operational".

The crew was good but the entertainment was poor . All old movies and TV shows and very few of them. Needs current entertainment. Seats too firm. Food just ok. Nice though to have option with upgrade of no one sitting in middle seat

I purchased the upgrade to have 3 seats open, so I was able to sleep 9 hours. Without that I would have been miserable

Our luggage was supposed to be checked through from Arusha to Cape Town. We didn't know that it was a self transfer in Johannisburg. Kayak should not have sold this flight combination with out a self transfer alert.

There was chaos checking because of a canceled flight the day prior. Also, we had an issue with tickets. The KQ agent went above a d beyond to help us get on board the flight Overall the 13+ hour flight is uncomfortable in coach. I may try to upgrade on return

For a long haul flight, the seats were too narrow. Paid for extra legroom but wish I could have paid for width! I was pressed against another person for the whole donation of the flight.

Delayed flight made my day very long, but other than that KQ got me to my destination in good shape.

The nice treatment and lovely pilots who accepted my son inside for a photo.So lovely of them
