Disadvantages: You will want to stay longer!

I see the views regarding Eygpt airs services are rather mixed on here which is understandable as everyone has different expereinces depending on there situation. After undertaking my first journey with Eygpt airways I must say I found all aspcect of the journey excellent with some great added bonses, which were more to do with the scheduling of the flight but worth having knowelege of if your ever using the airline as these bonuses are standard ...
...Bangkok, Thailand to London Heathrow, England. So breifly the journey schedule: Bangkok to Cairo - 9 hours Cairo - 5 hours transit stop over Cairo to London - 5 hours As you can see not the greatest and finest looking travel itinerary, so you could say I wasnt exactly looking forward to it, infact I was dreading it and especially as I had no experience of Egypt air in the past although it was the cheapest flight back from Thailand at the time, ...

Advantages: Too many to count.
Disadvantages: The seat colour and seat pitch

Air Mauritius is a small airline but with big hopes. The experience overall was excellent on both aircraft. On the Nariobi-Mauritius leg despite the delay was slight and the aircraft was spotless. For a 3 hour flight everything was smooth sailing with a generous seat pitch, good breakfast and a fair movie. Overall I just slept until I was awoken by the smell of a good hearty breakfast. 1 week later I had to travel back home to the UK. The entire ...
...at the airport. The flight was opporated on a modern airbus aircraft with brand new seats. This flight was great however the cabin decor was not to my tastes with horid yellow seats but the cabin decoration was adequet. Everything was excellent except the legroom but I had 3 seats on the back row to myself. The inflight entertaiment was AVOD with a massive choice of audio and video to choose from. The meals were the best ever with an open bar ... Read review

...East Africa and fly on Kenya Airways about twice a month. So, this review is based on that experience. Ground Agents/Reservations: I usually purchase my tickets using a travel agent in Kampala that has served my very well for a number of years. I try to avoid the Kenya Airways office in Kampala because the inefficiency and careless attitude of the staff spoil the overall picture of Kenya Airways. Kenya Airways has a very nice website where you ...
...and Cabin Crew: The Kenya Airways cabin crew are the HUGE reason for the success of Kenya Airways. They never fail to make me feel that they are genuinely happy I am flying with them. They serve efficiently and carefully. I have watched them politely and nicely serve some real expatriate bozos who seem to think they are still living in the colonial era. Most flights I take with Kenya Airways are 80-90% filled. In a one hour flight they efficiently ... Read review

Advantages: Good food, friendly crew, comfy business class
Disadvantages: ground staff in Nairobi

...for sightseeing and some for regional flights. Hang on? This is meant to be an op about Regional Air. Why is this plonker waffling on about Air Kenya? Well, Air Kenya set up a separate division to operate jet aircraft, and this jet operation goes under the name "Regional Air". Recently Regional Air became a franchise of British Airways - so they don't operate as "Regional Air" at all, they operate as BA. They not only operate with BA flight numbers ...
...I had a ticket for Regional Air onwards but wasn't booked, so when I arrived I found the gate that the flight was departing from. There were a few people hanging around, but nobody at the desk. I wandered on further down the terminal to the regular transit desk but they didn't handle BA so after a bit I wandered back to the gate. About half an hour before departure, someone in BA uniform arrived and I approached her asking if I could get on the flight. ... Read review
