@Magigi; I sold my KQ shares about three years ago...when it was sh120...had bout them at sh7.35 several years earlier. Even though I am not a shareholder currently,I still prefer flying KQ to any other airline ....I think they have the best pilots in the whole world!

I was never an Uchumi shareholder,but,as a Kenyan,I feel that I am a stakeholder in the Co. So I support them as much as I can. Sometimes,however,they really disappoint...e.g.,just before the closure,it was impossible to get the brand of product you wanted,or the size,or even the product itself....so I had to stop doing monthly shopping there even though it was the closest supermarket to my house.

I am a SCOM shareholder,but I can't stand their poor and expensive services. So I only keep a line for M-PESA. For voice I use Telkom & Zain; for internet I use Orange.

Doe this mean that I am not patriotic to SCOM?

Well,patriotism has nothing to do with it. If the start losing money,I will sell my shares. If they improve their service and become competitive on price,I will become a subscriber.

Behind the gardens...Behind the wall...Under the tree (Including: Red...Dark Blue...Yellow)

...If you think KQ does not measure up,travel by Uganda airlines. The food is bad,the air hostesses are flat,inside is so damp and hot...

...I think there other than South African airlines,there is no better airline in Africa other than KQ-The pride of Africa...

@young

Seems your best bet is KQ - just be at the airport early and if they bump you off,make a good scene and they will get you a seat....

You didnt say where your destination was but if its the major tourist attraction places,you could also check Air Kenya (for local travel). Their services were good,used a big plane which was comfortable but owe unto you if they decide to use those twin engines or smaller aircraft. Not sure how friendly their fares are comparatively (with other local flights!)

Try also jetlink.... not bad too and their fares are pocket friendly.... they introduced a flight from Kisoom citi to Mombassiti dont know if it turned out to be viable.....

Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.

@Bushlink;

...so what do you call it? Matatu Air?

Only ET (Ethiopian Airlines) come close to KQ in Africa,the others ni pang'ang'a tu!!!!

The chief value of money lies in the fact that one lives in a world in which it is overestimated.
