@obiero you want to emphasis that I am likely to miss the flight when KQ takes off?

Someone please educate me on KQ pricing formula I am taking a flight from Mombasa to Nairobi, the plane is about half full and tickets going from 16k, I paid early at 4k wouldn't it make more sense to lower prices to get more passengers?

4k for one-way on KQ or JJ?

Yes it makes sense but the guys doing the pricing are shitty characters to say the least,oblivious of reality.

KQ is trying to maximize on the last-minute flyers.
Is it 16k one-way in economy? The idea is that whoever needs to fly will fly and pay 16k.

My view is that you can do so when enough seats are sold out & the flight is breakeven so any 'new' passengers are 90% profit. The problem is that flying breakeven flights is not profitable but flying profitable is profitable.

That's economy funnier still I tried buying a ticket online for a friend and the same flight was now full, the friend drove, I get on the plane and it's not even half full plus is was the big Boeing not the usual Embraer SMH, someone kick sense into Ngunze or is gunze

The shareholders of KQ need to fire the current board and management and hire Delta by selling them a significant stake in the business and run KQ.

http://www.bloomberg.com...lta-really-run-try-five

Check this out re: Oil prices
http://www.cnbc.com/2015...24-years-time-opec.html

And how Delta bought cheap planes for cash instead of expensive new planes using debt.

http://www.bloomberg.com...d-out-boeing-stock-gain

And this. http://www.wsj.com/artic...06404578072960852910072

Delta's shares are +400% since 2011 ($13 in Jan 2011 & now $49) vs KQ which was 40-ish in Jan 2011 & now at 5/-.

I never understand that...Booking a ticket last week I got the message that there are only 2 seats left. In choosing a seat this weekend, there were only 3 seats to choose from. When I got to the airport I asked if I could get one further ahead. They said, yes of course. I got the first row after business class. The seat next to me was empty, and so were many others.
