Excellent trip report. Although the cabin of this B787 was quite old, your inflight experience looked good. Of course, there's still room for improvements.

[@AviationAdam]

Thanks! Yes it’s a good airline, but a newer cabin would definitely enhance the experience.

Wow, kenya Airways

I Am Not A Fan Of Chalrles De Gaulle.I Have A Lot Fligth Whit KQ Most From Amsterdam.Great Video And Info

[@AviationAdam]

Thank you! Yes CDG is not a popular airport with everyone. I have done Amsterdam to Nairobi on Kenya Airways as well, that video will be out soon.

[@BensonNyasae]

@@AviationAdam Cant wait for it to drop 👍

[@snapsorfly]

@@AviationAdam so it was after that flight....

[@AviationAdam]

@@snapsorfly Yes, this was my first ever KQ flight. I had two flights from Paris to Nairobi last May and one from Amsterdam to Nairobi last June. Twelve flights altogether so lots more Kenya Airways videos to come.

[@RyanKaranja-tb9vn]

I passed there a few weeks ago and there’s nothing I remember about it. Very unremarkable

[@snapsorfly]

you lucky to depart in the evening, our KQ cdg flight got rescheduled to depart at 11 am to land at 9pm NBO forcing us to arrive at 1am at our destination 🤨😒

[@AviationAdam]

That sounds bad! I hope they provided you with overnight accommodation and gave you compensation.

[@Sawyer9827]

Great video! Charles De Gaulle seems like a confusing airport.

[@AviationAdam]

Thank you! It is, so many different terminals and sub-terminals. Terminal 1 is the worst though!

[@dukemayo785]

😂 I can see some frustrations on your flight I don’t like cdg I had the worst nightmare with this kq … from a Kenyan heart this airline needs some upgrades and the services are not good 😅

[@thomasyebei8540]

By the way there are many airlines to choose from....you dont need to stick to KQ...follow your heart and go with what pleases you..

[@AviationAdam]

I had 12 flights on Kenya Airways’ 787 last year, only because I got some very good deals with them to South Africa. I don’t think I would pay full price to fly them. They could definitely do with some improvements such as a more modern IFE. A lot of Americans and Europeans use Kenya Airways and there are lots of other choices out there that probably offer a superior product at a similar, if not cheaper price.

[@dukemayo785]

@@thomasyebei8540truth be told am a Kenyan too like you but when you are on the plane you expect a good welcome and this airline can make you miss your connecting flight they did it to me so…. When I travel I don’t want to see it let me use other airlines which will serve me the way I want 😢
