They have those toilets that flush automatically when you stand after doing your business. But after i was finished the toilet refused to flush. I tried sitting again and standing to trigger the flushing mechanism but nothing happened. l also tried placing my palm on the infra red sensor several times but still nothing happened. After trying for about 3 minutes, I decided to just walk out leaving the mess there. I opened the door and told the guy next on the queue, in English, that the toilet wasn't working. Seems he didtn't understand english coz he rushed in, but came out a few seconds later puking. I was quite embarrassed. Kwani planes do not have toilets ndani, nimesikia story hapa ati the big ones, those that are pressurized have toilets on board and that only those small ones that fly from Djibouti to kenya, without pressure and without proper shock absorbers are the ones without toilets.

nasikia some people get sick in the ears, does it have to do with this pressure thing.  kwani hiyo pressure flattens hivyo vyote.

Have done a couple of flights, and the most notable difference between the medium-sized Juba-NBO and large Dubai-NBO planes, is the akoho! Those tiny bottles are a necessity, moreso in the tiny airplanes where they are not served.

My first time was way back ,i also did not sleep enough and who said we should watch those plane crash movies, i still watch them and still fear flying.I had my kasmall bag with some money and passport and stuff.Before leaving, i had been told stories of guys who go abroad and never come back, stories about Nigerian drug dealers.When i got into the plane, it had made a stop over@Jkia it was from Jburg and heading to Brussels. When i got in there were those tumzee mamas already snoring and i had my seat in the middle row btwn some other nyeuthis. In my head clic !these were the drug dealers. I took my kasmall bag and kept it under my seat I did not sleep. It was a night flight and i took it kitu 23:20. I ordered some beers and i got them coming, some Belgian beers.Due to fear and beer + since we took our flight at eleven , people had already had their dinner. Sema njaa.I got a running stomach and i did several trips to the toilet. The guy on the seat at the end was finally very angry coz i woke him up like 5 times. I landed safely in Europe had some other funny moments before getting to my final destination. I have since had other happy moments like overbooking and landing while waiting for a connection flight.

The problem with flying at night is the complete disorientation experienced aboard the plane. Its much better when you fly during the day because you can look outside and get some external references (Cloud cover, horizon etc.)When you fly at night you have absolutely no idea which way is up. It gets much worse during sharp banks. One lady seated opposite me closed her eyes (presumably in prayer) all the way from Moi to JKIA. Infront, besides, behind are all okay BUT opposite? in a plane? Unless its one of those Kisii 7-a-side matatus.  Sawa mkubwa. Kizungu is not my first language but i'm sure you get the point.
