I have flown twice from Dubai early in the morning on KQ (back in the day when they operated the B 767). It is very tiring to board a 0200 am flight and almost impossible to keep one's eyes open. Hats off to you for filming throughout this flight.. Many passengers on that flight are traders flying back to different parts of Africa, which explains the volume of shopping. Unfortunately some passengers forget the baggage allowance limits so end up leaving their shopping behind. This also happens at the pre-boarding gate where some passengers who have bought more than what can be stowed in the overhead baggage compartment, from Dubai duty free, have to leave part of their shopping behind. KQ has a good product and am sure all Kenyans watching this video will give you a thumbs up!
I really appreciate the subtitles that you put in the video instead of talking, it makes it so much more enjoyable. Thanks again for all the content that you post, it's really amazing!
Heyy Alex ..thanks for this video....In april i travelled same flight DXB Nairobi Lagos Nairobi DXB ,,,same airlines 1A seat business.....i agree with you...the crew were very courteous and provided an excellent service...one of the best journeys......ur video just brought back those beautiful memories...... keep travelling bro!!...wish you lots of fun ...stay blessed....
Kenyans are so insanely nice to me on all my journeys around the world. Kenya was also the first country I visited during the lockdown and I was glad to do so. Thanks for watching Henry!
I cannot wait for you to take the NBO-JFK route 🤩I always wanted someone to review it. I pray one day I’ll take that flight too. Cheers and happy flying ❤
Another great review mate! always love to see African airlines getting the limelight, Kenya airways I can see being a very good product, hopefully soon enough they will update their cabins seat colour an ambiance. as the business class is quite dated now I’m sure they will introduce something more fresh soon. The food and service looked incredible but no surprise from the warm African service. Yes at least you wont be disappointed by the coffee. Drinking a cappuccino 39.000ft up always tastes that little bit more indulgent. Great stuff yet again 👍👏😊! PS nice shot of the Queen on take off from Dubai.
I don’t fly African airlines enough, and while the hard product isn’t the best the hospitality is always a nice factor there. I hope Kenya Airways updates the interiors of the B787’s but I think they’re prioritizing becoming profitable first. Thanks for being here buddy! See you around!
@@TheLayoverAviation always a pleasure mate really! Yes African hospitality it’s always warm and welcoming. Yes let’s hope! but yes I suppose a lot of carriers are more interested in profitable at the moment. 👍👋
That was a nice trip report, Alex. It revives my memory, especially at 16:34, when I was 16 years old and traveling to Delhi with my family on Air India. I got airsick and suddenly started vomiting. I was eagerly looking forward to tasting the meal provided by Air India, but it was all in vain. Then I discovered that my mother had packed some food, including the cutlery, thinking it was free for all passengers😂. (She only did that because I was an avgeek who was really excited to experience Air India.) After enduring all that jet lag, I found something in my mom's sling bag, and she revealed that it was for me😊. It's been a long time since then, but in order to preserve the beautiful moments I had with Air India, I have kept the boarding pass and cutlery in my showcase.
Yo ya estoy cansado del aeropuerto de Dubai, es como una segunda casa. Ahora ya sabes tu camino cuando vengas a visitar los Emiratos! Un abrazo desde Croacia!
great video buddy! kenya airways look very nice! gotta love the cabin crew who show you some friendly hospitality! BTW, i saw a lot of people with masks, it was mandatory?
Woah, Mr. bond! Have you visited Safari? 😄 You were sleepy, but you got a great footage! What is your favorite Skyteam airline? For me its KLM and CSA (2010s version) :) ... I also fly from Dubai in night or early morning.. Thank you for the tip! Kenya seems to be great!😊 Thanks for sharing and see you soon friend! 😄
Good stuff my man i loved your report and kenya airways . I only disagree with one thing: After meal you go from baileys to bubbles (again) and then to Tusker... That's a big No No 😂😂😂. You should start from the lighter and end with the stronger. So beer before the meal yeah or/and after baileys trying a liquor 😅😊...other than that a perfect video very well balanced...hopefully KQ is back on track for profits now... It would be great if you could report RwandAir/Uganda Airlines /Air Tanzania in business class long haul too 😊 cheers
I fully agree with you. It was a party in the stomach. But in this case I remember that it was the crew who asked me to try this and that so I couldn’t refuse in order to be polite. They were trying really hard. Great people. Thanks for watching!
@@TheLayoverAviation Charming and lovely crew indeed - flight experiences can become a hit or miss with them. Thankfully you are married otherwise you would have went home with a new partner 🤣 - if they asked you to try 😁
@@TheLayoverAviation I’m loyal to one airline so I already have a full set of spoons by now….they fit right inbetween a teaspoon and a dessert spoon 🙌🏼😂
There are many more fields. But flowers is something interesting. The flower industry is massive, many cargo flights each day between Nairobi and Amsterdam with nothing but roses on board! I’ve seen it!
I have flown with Ethiopian Airlines from Dubai to Addis Ababa the airplanes usually takes off towards the and turns left heading south. Flights to what euro colonizers renamed Africa does not always take off towards the desert.
It all depends on what directions the planes are taking off. Usually it’s towards the sea which offers incredible views over Dubai. But this time the winds were blowing from the south so we took off towards the desert, no views 😞
Quite a lot… Senior leadership in a major hospitality brand in simple words. I do lots on the side though, am a very active person that can only sleep 4 hours a night 🙃
It’s funny how Dubai airport and the imagine Emirates airlines has created is totally different when you as a passenger uses the terminal which every other carrier use exclusively. The experience is totally not the same when compared to the big shinning one all Emirates flights and passengers fly out of. It’s old, dark and sterile
Kenya airways is a loss making airline.. I believe they have poor customer services and also there food is not that good.. Am a Kenyan talking the actual reality
Not all of them by 2030, just the older models I guess. The newest ones can continue to fly longer. The problem is that Airbus no longer builds the A380’s.. And they require new planes to replace older. But I’m sure they’ll do something great on the B777x!

That's why duty free onboard is so popular because of all stuffs that were left behind either at check-in or prior boarding at the gate

Absolutely! I spend a good hour with them. So friendly and the wanted to know it all!
Fantastic as always....I was amazed by the 100% occupancy.
Fantastic Airline for all African travel.
They offer a lot of perks so I am not surprised it was so full. Lots of baggage allowance and affordable prices. Good airline indeed!
Thanks Alex for another signature review! Kenya Airways looks like a solid operation. Would love to fly them one day.
I do hope you get the chance to do so one day 😊
I really wish to try them again although on a daytime flight.
As a Kenyan, I'm glad you did a flight review of Kenya Airways.
Glad you enjoyed the experience.. cheers Alex!

I Love Kenya Airways🇮🇳🇰🇪❤0:34
8:37 you must try A380 Flight experience to Denpasar
I saw they just started flights there. I would like to try.
Good stuff my man i loved your report and kenya airways .

I’m actually about to fly them again soon 😊
@@TheLayoverAviation ok
16:36 i “collect” teaspoons from every flight i take (metal only)
It kind of is collecting… I’ve got glassware from all sorts of airlines, a whole cabinet full 🤩
Long time I haven’t noticed you around!
@@TheLayoverAviation I’m loyal to one airline so I already have a full set of spoons by now….they fit right inbetween a teaspoon and a dessert spoon 🙌🏼😂
Hey Alex, I was thinking, how about you try lufthansa's A380?
I never even knew lufthansa had an A380 but there you go
I love the flight
Thank you for always writing about planes from where / and where they go
Glad you like the extra details!
Interesting facts about Kenya's airport and its economy around Horticulture. I wonder why just only around this field and nothing else?
There are many more fields. But flowers is something interesting. The flower industry is massive, many cargo flights each day between Nairobi and Amsterdam with nothing but roses on board! I’ve seen it!
Never knew honestly.
Hiya ! hope you ok, I was just wondering what camera do you use for your vlogs

Hey any idea if Emirates is going to be retiring their entire A380 fleet by any chance in 2030? I would hate it to death if it actually happens.
Not all of them by 2030, just the older models I guess. The newest ones can continue to fly longer.
The problem is that Airbus no longer builds the A380’s.. And they require new planes to replace older.
But I’m sure they’ll do something great on the B777x!
Really??? I was under the impression that they are going to retire all of them from what it seems like in the news was saying.
It is not the same with the 777X as oppose to the A380.
I Love Kenya Airways🇮🇳🇰🇪❤
