Get to the airport early as you have to go through many security checks and there were ques when we got there to get into the airport.
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Dec 2024
If you are easily cold, dress warm. The plane's temperature is set really cold.
Verified travelerFlew with Kenya Airways-Feb 2025
Sit in the first rows rather than the back of business class.
KimberlyFlew with Kenya Airways-Sept 2024
Bring a seat cushion pad if you can.
Verified travelerFlew with Kenya Airways-Jun 2024
There are so many security points at the Nairobi airport that you need to make sure you are there at least 3 hours in advance. This is not communicated by Kenyan Airways, so unfortunately people end up missing their flights
Verified travelerFlew with Kenya Airways-May 2024
It’s a long flight have some compression sock, stretch often in the plane and have some dry snacks.

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

The flight was delayed which cost me to missed my connection flight.

I recently flew with Saudi Arabian Airlines, and it was truly an outstanding experience from start to finish. The staff were exceptionally polite, professional, and attentive throughout the journey. Check-in was smooth and well-organized, and boarding was efficient and on time. The cabin was spotless and comfortable, with plenty of legroom and a calm, welcoming atmosphere. The in-flight service was top-notch — meals were delicious and offered with generous portions, and the crew made sure every passenger was well taken care of. I also appreciated the wide range of entertainment options, including movies, music, and TV shows in multiple languages. The flight was punctual, and the overall experience reflected the airline’s strong commitment to hospitality and passenger satisfaction. Without a doubt, I’d highly recommend Saudia to anyone traveling within the region or internationally. Their service quality easily matches — and often surpasses — many top global airlines. I’m looking forward to flying with them again! ⸻ Would you like me to tailor it for a specific flight route or class (e.g., Economy, Business, Jeddah–Washington DC)? I can make it sound even more personal or detailed.

The intettainme is old stuff and difficult to get by WiFi and the chair is not comfortable at all although the staff were excellent but beyond their limited

It is almost 7 hours journey ,you should have provided with TV entertainment and mobile charging

Plane is very old and not the same seating as online No per seat entertainment The large shared tv wasn’t working Didn’t provide headphones No announcements of departures or arrival from captain or crew

This booking was as a result of stolen identity and hacking my debit account. I reported it to my bank. The thief tried to book two flights, maybe more. Hopefully, Kayak will be able to block fraudulent bookings and charges better in the future.

Entertainment on all 4 business class seats were terrible audio and could barley hear. The 11 hour layover in Riyadh was a nightmare and no one told us that nightmare matter what we do or what we were willing to pay there were no places to rest or sleep and nine of the lounges allow you to enter them no matter what unless you are 4 hours or less from flight time. With a 78 yearold mother with me this is ridiculous. The employees of the airline in Riyadh and of the lounge treated us like servants or lower class people. Never again

Thw pla e was freezing by dar the cildest flight i’ve been on. The seats are comfortable the leg room is spacious and the seat is in leather very confy. Unfortunately old plane so no plugs the entertainment is limited the inflight internet is very expensive 20$ per hour for 50mb on a 17h you will take 2 times to contact your family and work. At this cost it goes very quick very high. The food is very mediocre A breakfast tastless A snack A meal super spicy A lot of improvement are to be made

Entertainment for non Arabic speakers is very limited. Seats were comfortable. Seat map while booking showed 2-2-2 config, but the flight had 1-2-1..

There was not enough meals to serve in business class. The crew was busy and not very accommodating. They talked to each other more than attending to the passengers needs. Not professional at all and not properly supervised at all.

Ethiad wanted to charge me $1100 for 2 checked bags on a ticket that was $550. Nother the airline or airfare assist was willing to help before arriving at the airport. All parties said it was the other responsibility to help. Never flying ethiad or using kayak again.

It was fantastic. The flight from Chicago to Abu Dahbi was fantastic. The crew, food and service were amazing. Everything was handled by the crew member assigned to us , Nicholas, was usually done before we asked for it. Highly recommend Etihad!

The staff were wonderful but the seats weren't very comfortable for a bigger guy like me.

Bad. Flight was very uncomfortable with narrow and shallow seats, very little food and water. I will not fly etihad again.

Overall mediocre experience. Check in was good. They're were discriminatory. They were not attentive, food choices were not vegetarian friendly. The food served was frozen.

1st time with. Etihad Airways and it was amazing from check in to crew. Great flight.

One thing is very important is you people not giving seat arrangement together to couple, senior citizen. You have to take care of senior citizen. Do not look about money. Money is not important everywhere. Make relationship strong is very very important. I like Etiyad air line out of all air line. Food was hot and delicious. Air hostess gave very good service, nice attitude, very good behaviour. I gave 10 out of 10 marks. Thanks Jivraj

Ripped off and broken seats in Business class. Seats stink and need to request the staff for additional bedsheets. Crew if very friendly though

Short travel duration. However, I had placed meal preference while booking my air ticket but was given vegetarian meal on board. Food was okay. Not so great. Didn't like Spanish eggplant, cold chickpeas salad. No hot soup was available. Everything cold cold only.

Dear Etihad Airways Customer Service, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my deep disappointment with my recent flight experience on Etihad Airways, which took me from India to NYC via Abu Dhabi. My flight details are as follows: [Flight Number] on [Date]. My overall experience was marred by a series of significant issues that I believe warrant attention and improvement. These issues include: Bad Conditions of Washroom: The state of the washrooms on the flight was far from satisfactory. They were inadequately maintained and lacked the level of cleanliness one would expect during a long-haul journey. Seating Space and Comfort: The seating arrangement left much to be desired. The seats were cramped, uncomfortable, and the legroom was insufficient for such a long flight. The seats did not recline as expected, making the journey quite uncomfortable. Cabin Cleanliness: The cleanliness of the cabin, including seats and tray tables, was not up to par. The lack of cleanliness impacted the overall comfort and satisfaction of passengers. Excessive Noise: The flight was notably noisy, with disturbances and loud noises making it difficult to rest or concentrate. The noise levels were considerably disruptive. Food and Catering: The quality and variety of meals served on the flight left much to be desired. Furthermore, there were issues with accommodating dietary restrictions, which is crucial for passenger satisfaction. Hygiene and Sanitary Facilities: The condition of the restrooms was subpar, and essential hygiene supplies were not adequately provided. This falls short of expectations for a long-haul journey. Overall Experience: Regrettably, the combination of these issues significantly affected my overall experience during this long flight, making it far from the comfortable and enjoyable journey I had anticipated. I understand that maintaining high standards on long-haul flights can be challenging, but I believe it's vital to bring these concerns to your attention in the hope that they can be addressed and improved upon in the future. As a loyal Etihad Airways customer, I had higher expectations for my journey. I kindly request that you take these issues into consideration and work towards enhancing the overall passenger experience on similar routes. Your attention to these matters is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and understanding.

Goin to Kenya from JFK was great. I was able to tell I needed help as I can not fly long distances in the economy idea of a middle seat. I became aware on a flight to paris where after the flight for about a month I had a pain in my right leg I feared might be a potential aneurysm + a weak bladder. Coming back at baggage check-in a let the attendant know and she changed me to an aisle, On check-in at the gate they asked if I paid extra for that seat and i said no and I told them what happened the lady downstairs just changed my flight seat and sent me to the gate to wait, the guy then said no the seat is a (I forgot the exact word he used) for sale seat and I said well she did not tell me that downstairs and then he said someone else had this seat and I said she was looking at the same computer screen earlier and I told her my conditionand she changed my seat. He sai come back later ans he'll see what he can do. I came back and he said the plane is filling up fast there was nothing he could do. On the flight there was an open aisle seat that I was able to take (a little earlier than the attendance liked I would admit - but the door was closed and we were about to take off) on. It turns out the seat was not "sold" because the tv screen and control were not working - no sound and no movies - they attendants said they tried to reboot but nothing fixed and it turned out someone knew the condition and just didn't tell me. It's embarrassing to have to tell everyone you see that you have an issue especially at airport gates where it seems everyone's impatient tempers are on full tilt. Beyond this the flight crew were professional and great -food was as good as airplane food can be (I have not yet tried business class to compare) and it was hot too. I will fly Kenyan Air again and recommend to whoever will listen. If you have a policy or mechanism on the Kenyan side I would appreciate knowing ahead of time what my options are. On the JFK side knowing I was a senior and had an issue got better attention. Thank You.

Flight was late! Why ? No one seemed to know. Looks like the planes windows were never cleaned. My phone camera refused to take a picture of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Flight was originally postponed and then delayed further. No communication at boarding gate or via What's ap or SMS to inform you of the new time so you can plan around it.. No explanations or apologies for the delay.

Horrible airline that charged me $300 for my luggage saying my bag was excess luggage when that flight was super empty. Absolutely ridiculous never flying with them ever again!

Flight was on time. Crew was amazing, minimal announcement interruptions, clean facilities and spaces.

Flight was on time and very comfortable. Staff were friendly and efficient. Food options were good.

Flight delay from Nairobi to JFK causing me to miss my connection. While at NBO waiting more than 5 hours for departure, no Kenyan Air representative made any announcement as to why the delay or when a new time would be given.

Very terrible airline. The flights were delayed for long hours and the customer service is terrible. Never flying with Kenya Airways again.

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.

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

Long haul flight and was really good. Comfortable plane and seats. Really great service all round and always willing to help. Lovely food and drinks (Tanqueray is my favourite Gin). Media was great and helped for the long journey.

Great service and always willing to help. Comfortable and good entertainment on the Media screens. Food was good and loved the drinks (Tanqueray is my favourite Gin).

Food and crew were consistent with a high-end airline. App is on the level of what you’d see for a small regional carrier. I was charged $600 in fees that the gate agent in London assured me I wouldn’t have to pay, additionally, the app charged an upgraded seat choice and then put me in a less expensive seat. No response to emails to BA asking for help with refund. Probably won’t use BA again if I don’t get a response. In the air, BA is a world class airline. On the ground, they seem to operate on the level of a discount airline like Spirit.

Was upgraded to business class on this flight, I presume due to my premium economy class for my London to Denver flight. Business class was the same seats as economy, only the middle seat was unfilled. Decent lunch served, and the lounge experience in Prague was good. The only heads up I would give is give yourself enough time for gate carry-on luggage scanning, which I did not anticipate in my time planning.

Bad. After 3 hours on tarmac, flight got cancelled. No assistance whatsoever from BA.

The wheelchair service was good. Staff and crew were helpful/supportive. The business of 'being overbooked' ....."you may not be able to travel tonight/we may have to put you in Economy'" was rather unsettling. Even Economy Plus in a MIDDLE seat felt cramped. The seating and experience felt very basic even though I had struggled to pay for extra - Economy Plus.

It was difficult to board from London to accra. Had to get there an hour before and almost missed the flight. Did not get enough rest time at the lounge

Better communication to those connecting flights and have a customer care desk at the airports

The entertainment system in the plane ✈️ didn’t work in our row… makes for a MUCH longer flight.

The flight and the staff was excellent. Only bad thing is no entertainment and you have to pay for anything other than water.
