Jambo everyone!
Welcome to this Kenya Airways B787-8 video!
I found a great fare in Business Class on Kenya Airways on my way to Africa and decided to give it a try.
The flight departs at my least favourite departure time so I had to cope with that, but I can assure you that it was well worth it!
The crew were stunning and treated me like royalty. They made the flight and I just wish this had been a daytime flight so I would have made more out of it.
Regardless of that, I have nothing but great words and am sincerely grateful for the wonderful care I received. This is what makes good service stand out.
I hope you enjoy this video and to see you around soon!
Enjoy!
Today we are showcasing you the following flight:
From: Dubai International Airport, The United Arab Emirates
To: Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Nairobi, Kenya.
Flight Number: KQ 311
Aircraft Type: Boeing B787-8
Registration: 5Y-KZJ
Flight Time: 04:23

I have flown twice from Dubai early in the morning on KQ (back in the day when they operated the B 767). It is very tiring to board a 0200 am flight and almost impossible to keep one's eyes open. Hats off to you for filming throughout this flight.. Many passengers on that flight are traders flying back to different parts of Africa, which explains the volume of shopping. Unfortunately some passengers forget the baggage allowance limits so end up leaving their shopping behind. This also happens at the pre-boarding gate where some passengers who have bought more than what can be stowed in the overhead baggage compartment, from Dubai duty free, have to leave part of their shopping behind. KQ has a good product and am sure all Kenyans watching this video will give you a thumbs up!

@snapsorfly 6 ай бұрын

That's why duty free onboard is so popular because of all stuffs that were left behind either at check-in or prior boarding at the gate

Another great review mate! always love to see African airlines getting the limelight, Kenya airways I can see being a very good product, hopefully soon enough they will update their cabins seat colour an ambiance. as the business class is quite dated now I’m sure they will introduce something more fresh soon. The food and service looked incredible but no surprise from the warm African service. Yes at least you wont be disappointed by the coffee. Drinking a cappuccino 39.000ft up always tastes that little bit more indulgent. Great stuff yet again 👍👏😊! PS nice shot of the Queen on take off from Dubai.

@TheLayoverAviation Жыл бұрын

I don’t fly African airlines enough, and while the hard product isn’t the best the hospitality is always a nice factor there. I hope Kenya Airways updates the interiors of the B787’s but I think they’re prioritizing becoming profitable first. Thanks for being here buddy! See you around!

That was a nice trip report, Alex. It revives my memory, especially at 16:34, when I was 16 years old and traveling to Delhi with my family on Air India. I got airsick and suddenly started vomiting. I was eagerly looking forward to tasting the meal provided by Air India, but it was all in vain. Then I discovered that my mother had packed some food, including the cutlery, thinking it was free for all passengers😂. (She only did that because I was an avgeek who was really excited to experience Air India.) After enduring all that jet lag, I found something in my mom's sling bag, and she revealed that it was for me😊. It's been a long time since then, but in order to preserve the beautiful moments I had with Air India, I have kept the boarding pass and cutlery in my showcase.

Good stuff my man i loved your report and kenya airways . I only disagree with one thing: After meal you go from baileys to bubbles (again) and then to Tusker... That's a big No No 😂😂😂. You should start from the lighter and end with the stronger. So beer before the meal yeah or/and after baileys trying a liquor 😅😊...other than that a perfect video very well balanced...hopefully KQ is back on track for profits now... It would be great if you could report RwandAir/Uganda Airlines /Air Tanzania in business class long haul too 😊 cheers

Not all of them by 2030, just the older models I guess. The newest ones can continue to fly longer. The problem is that Airbus no longer builds the A380’s.. And they require new planes to replace older. But I’m sure they’ll do something great on the B777x!
