I thought that would happen IF you came in later & Economy/Cattle class was full...

Was booked on an 8 o'clock flight Got there before they started boarding the 7 o'clock flight Had checked-in online the day before Then they tell me that they have to change my seat and gate pass because the plane had been changed...to a smaller one... Then this.... 'Or would you mind if we put you on the earlier flight? We can upgrade you,you know? And that will give us an additional seat on the 8 o'clock...' Since I had only planned to read the Harmonised Draft Constitution while waiting for my flight,I took up their offer. Behind the gardens...Behind the wall...Under the tree (Including: Red...Dark Blue...Yellow) Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

Unless they upgraded u as a view to selling the vacant seat at 8 O'Clock. BTW,7am or pm... So was the 7am/pm flight full? Obviously,the 8am/pm was full (coz smaller plane)... I like that 'entrepreneurship' at KQ... why let a seat go empty at 7 when they can re-sell the seat at 8... that check-in staff member deserved the wage increase... I am going to try that the next time... get there early enough to catch an earlier flight then try for an upgrade...

Rank: Chief Joined: 1/3/2007 Posts: 18,354 Location: Nairobi		I did a calculation & if you are solo... then yes... cheaper to fly than drive to coast... With 2 people... starts getting cheaper to drive BUT for the time/stress... If you have a good car & have 3+ people & time is not an issue... then drive... I have driven down but during the day... Unfortunately,the whole day gets wasted... You reach Mombasa tired... Greedy when others are fearful,Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase WB Greedy when others are fearful.
