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.

I enjoyed my flight I arrived safe with all my luggage

No complaints just improve on the food service. Provide enough dinner. People are complaining about that.

Was very good, was happy with the way staff were smiling and how they were approachable

A child was loud throughout which made the trip less than optimal. Crew was great and professional. They need to change the automatic seat belt announcement which is too loud and had other unneeded words like "this is XYZ announcement number one'

Love the dreamliner plane. It's such a smooth ride, I don't notice that it's 15 hours in the air. The staff are great and they don't overstuff you with food.

I really like this airline. The staff are lovely and friendly, the planes are tidy and unfussy. I would rate them at the top of the African Airline carriers.

Delayed by 4 hours with inadequate advance notifications which caused us a lot of consternation and angst. I will never fly or recommend your airline again

Flight was changed 3 times, from a night flight to a day flight, and then delayed by 5h…

Kenya Airways delayed my flights for 7 days. Each delayed, they notified me last minute. This is ridiculous.

The kindness and good humor of all the people who this flight possible was a joy.
