Ric dees question sounds valid n he doesnt deserve the dressing down here. Nevertheless,I hope your quiz is answered.

Truest proverb: Mwenda pole hajikwai

yap. they will make money ... all airlines will generally overbook in most occassions. KQ's scenario (knowing that it operates mostly in africa) might not warrant comparison with other airlines in-terms of overbooking ratio's. Generally africa is a late booking market........pple will always book during the last few days which does not do well for the flight planners and revenue management chaps in KQ.

Mark you overbooking is not new to KQ..they've been doing in for so long .....yet making making money so this should not distract your thinking that they are spending too much putting you and others at Panari....(Most airlines generally have the best hotel rates worldwide anyway)

KQ and other airlines normally cancells flights to even 3 days consecutively....so u have not seen anything yet.So for regular voyages like some of us here,this is no news to us.Try flying Delta airlines or United Airlines and u will know how to keep mum.

Which is more dirty,the pig or Kenyan mp?

Well it seems KQ employees have come out of their woodwork and it was a simple question which just needed clarity.dint say i knew how the business operates..however i'll try and reclarify what i meant.

@JayMiggy

The 777 - 200ER/300ER were overhauled to accommodate more room for cargo. You say KQ has a capacity of 322 and what about cargo space? how many tonnes do they carry on average? That was my point..i know they have fallen short in this category and lets not kid each other pax sales are merely a bleep in the overall picture. Extended wing range for greater lift,bigger fuel tank for long hauls with empty cargo space..please enlighten me.

@ Obi

Actually this was my first time this happening with KQ..It happened to me twice last year with Virgin over Easter to Kenya and when going to SA..however what Virgin does thet take you to Premier Inn near Heathrow..no voucher,no nothing...hence that's why i stopped using them and moved back to KQ.

@Gordon Gecko..

Correction,it was $300 dollars cash or a voucher of $500 to use on KQ services.My question was very simple..are they making money and if so how.? most notable with tourism at an all time low..most characterised by the half full flights for the better part of last year and this year..and dwindling cargo exports.

@ Tot

I was excited coz of $ 300.!!!.well what to say.
