Rank: Elder Joined: 6/27/2008 Posts: 4,114		@Tony Stark; I disagree: KQ is NOT more expensive than Fly540. I have just booked a return flight to Msa for this Friday..... KQ costs US$187.88 [inclusive of taxes] F540 costs US$192 [inclusive of taxes] This a great fallacy peddled by F540..... they always quote cost before taxes,but when you go to pay,you get a rude shock. E.g.,ati you can get to Msa from Nbi for sh5,400. No such thing. This is a one-way ticket BEFORE taxes! Add the taxes and the cost is almost sh8,000 ONE WAY!!!! My only beef with KQ is their overbooking.....they are running it like a matatu.....even after the mat is full,the manamba [booking office] contiues touting for more passengers!!!!!

Rank: Chief Joined: 1/3/2007 Posts: 18,356 Location: Nairobi		The problem KQ faces (not an excuse for them) is that they try to 'match' the NBO-MSA flights with the arrivals from Europe BUT a delay landing in NBO means the Europe passengers are delayed thus the NBO-MSA could be empty. They try to make this up by filling the plane with local passengers. ** So if the Europe flights land on time (or passengers manage to transfer from the international to domestic) then the local passengers (or 'overbooked' ones) get stranded!

The chief value of money lies in the fact that one lives in a world in which it is overestimated. ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".

The worst of F540 of my two times with them was Entebbe and this happened as we were almost L.Victoria (maybe kericho to Kisumu) at 19,000 ft,we almost crashed with the turbulence and here the cabin says 'the pilot has warned that there are difficulty turbulence and at this time,all should remain calm and sitted with seat belts on,please also note that the toilets are unavailable at this time'. Then the issue of noise,the aircraft almost destroyed my delicate eardrums and ended up visiting an ENT specialist after the flight....bure kabisa!!!! On KQ am a loyal customer,despite the delays,the planes are good....jump 36,000ft and less turbulence. Its faster and will always overtake 540 on the way. No noise and no panic........they only need to professionally style up on delays and overbooking Disclaimer : This is my opinion and not a recommendation.

A boeing 737-300 and Embraer 170. what i do not know is if they were able to fill both planes from Mombasa that afternoon Don't sit and wait - look for the next opportunity

Rank: Elder Joined: 6/20/2007 Posts: 2,075 Location: Lagos, Nigeria		From the opinions thus far I can infer that - Flying fly540 may not likely be a pleasant experience as it cannot cruise beyond 19,000 feet since they are using smaller planes - Their local flights are not economical either but international flight is. For example one way trip entebbe to Nairobi is USD139 wheras KQ is USD237 economy class. A big difference in international flight but it might be costlier to fly fly540 on local route ie within Kenya. For example Mombassa - Nairobi route by Fly540 is more expensive than even bigger KQ.
