The legroom on the long haul

Honestly the legroom was the first thing I noticed and it made the eleven hour flight way less awful. Crew were chatty and kept topping up the water. Booked it on my phone in like five minutes too. Would fly with them again for sure.

needed a cheap way to see family

I needed to get over to see my mum who's been poorly, so cheap fares were the priority. Booking was quick on my phone, I was done while waiting for the kettle. The flight was comfortable and everything went to plan. Really pleased.

Flight was fine but seats cost extra

Booking the flight was quick on my phone and the flight was on time. Had to pay extra for a seat with more room which felt a bit steep. Crew were good and the food was alright. Would fly again but the add ons add up.

Bought the extra bag allowance

Bought extra baggage allowance when I booked and it was way cheaper than paying at the airport. Booked everything in one go online and the bag was added straight away. Flight was on time and the crew were helpful with the overhead bins. Good value for what you get.

needed a direct flight for work

I needed a direct flight to Nairobi for a work trip and I'd compared a few options first. This one had the best timing and the fare wasn't bad at all. Booking was straightforward and the flight left and arrived on time. Would book again.

the seat selection on the app

Picked my seat on the app when I booked and it was done in a minute, no faff. The flight was on time and the seat was comfy enough. Quick and easy, nothing else to add.

Cheap way to get to nairobi

Went with them because the fare was way cheaper than the others I looked at for the same dates. Flight was on time, the food was actually hot and the wifi worked which was a bonus for a 9 hour flight. Would fly them again for sure, the seats were decent for a cheap fare.

Plenty of space and a proper meal

Honestly it's one of the more comfortable long haul flights I've taken, with the seats giving a decent amount of room. The food was served warm and the crew kept checking on everyone. Booking through the site is simple if you know your dates. Would happily fly them again.

compared to flying via dubai

Compared with flying via Dubai, which I have done before, this was a far more direct route and I did not have to change planes. Their booking site is a little dated but it got me to the payment page without any trouble. The seats were comfortable enough for a long flight and the meal was better than I had expected. I would not hesitate to book again.

A more relaxed way to fly to nairobi

Compared with the other carriers I had looked at, I found their fares a little higher, but the cabin was calm and the staff were very attentive. Booking through their website was straightforward, though I did need to ring them once to correct a spelling mistake in my name. The flight arrived punctually and I had no complaints on the day.

Needed a flight home at short notice

My dad took a bad turn so I needed a flight out to Nairobi with about two days notice. I'd looked at a few airlines and the fares were all stupid money, but this was reasonable for last minute. Booked online, got the seat I wanted, and the flight went out on schedule. Grateful.

needed to get to nairobi for a funeral

I needed to get to Nairobi quickly for a funeral so I had no real choice on dates. The fare was expensive compared with what I'd seen on other sites, and the booking process kept timing out before I could pay. When I finally got through the flight was fine but I'm not sure I'd use them again.

The inflight wifi actually worked

Got the inflight wifi for the whole flight which I didn't expect at all. Booked the flight plus the wifi pass in one go on the app, super quick. Cabin was clean and the seat recline was decent. Yeah, would fly with them again.

Booked fine but the flight was delayed

Booking was fine, took a couple of minutes on my phone and the confirmation came straight away. The flight to Nairobi was delayed by about three hours though and nobody gave a clear reason at the gate. Crew were polite but could've been clearer.

Good flight but the seat map was fiddly

First time flying with them and the flight itself was pleasant enough, crew were friendly and we landed on time. Booking was fine but choosing seats took a few goes because the map kept refreshing on my phone. Would still fly them again.

fine flight but the refund took ages

The flight itself was comfortable and the crew were friendly, and booking was easy enough. I had to change my return date though and getting the difference refunded took a few weeks of emailing back and forth. Would still fly them, just wish the changes were simpler.

flew to nairobi for a family wedding

Booked a return to Nairobi for my sister's wedding, I'd compared a few carriers first and their fares to Nairobi were the best of the lot for the dates I needed. Booking on the site took about ten minutes, seats were chosen during checkout, and the flight left on time. Happy with it.

Cheaper than the other options I looked at

Compared to the other airlines I was looking at, the fare was noticeably lower for the same dates. Booking was fine but the site kept logging me out halfway through payment and I had to start again. Flight itself was smooth and the cabin was clean.

Way better than going through a travel agent

Went with them instead of the usual cheap airline and honestly glad I did, the seat was roomier and the food actually came hot. Booking was easy on the app, didn't have to ring anyone. Only thing I'd say is the check in queue at Heathrow was a bit mad but that's not really on them.
