When I book my flights, I look for comfort, reliability, and value in an airline. Through my years of travel with multiple airlines, I have learned that Kenya Airways meets and exceeds those requirements. If you are considering an international, business, or long-distance flight, here are some reasons I like to fly with Kenya Airways.
An Airline that Serves All Countries
The feature that stands out to me about Kenya Airways is its ability to connect Africa to the rest of the world. The country serves as a hub for connecting the continent to other global destinations.
Kenya Airways provides reliable service across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Providing people with a great travel experience is important; therefore, I appreciate that every interaction between Kenya Airways and its passengers is characterized by warm hospitality. The culture of Kenya Airways provides a level of comfort and kindness; therefore, you feel at home while traveling with this airline.
Here are a few things I like about Kenya Airways:
- Simple online process to get your flight(s) booked quickly
- Very clear fare options (no confusion!)
- Several flexible ways to book, including “Time to Think,” which allows you to take your time before finalizing your travel plans!
- All seat selection and add-ons are available ahead of time
There is never a bad booking experience when you book with Kenya Airways, whether it’s several weeks prior or at the last minute!
The Experience of Being On Board: Relaxed And Uninterrupted
Kenya Airways excels from the moment a passenger boards the aircraft.

What stands out most for me is
- Comfort of the seat, especially on long-distance flights
- Excellent in-flight meals with both local and international cuisine available
- Great entertainment, including movies, music, and shows, to help time pass
- The availability of Wi-Fi on selected aircraft is very helpful to keep you connected
If you travel in Business Class, you will enjoy a higher level of comfort and amenities, including flatbed seats, priority boarding, and exceptional service. These features are comparable to those of other world-class international airlines.
A Loyalty Program That’s Actually Good
You should not miss out on Asante Rewards if you take at least a handful of flights each year.
Reasons I Enjoy Asante Rewards
You can earn miles with each eligible flight that you take. You can redeem your earned miles for the following items:

- Priority service
Each of the different tiers of membership that you can have with Asante Rewards will have access to different member benefits, which will include:
- Having access to a lounge
- Priority boarding

As an added benefit, Kenya Airways is a member of the SkyTeam Alliance, which means that you can also use your earned miles toward future rewards with their partner airline(s), which makes it even more beneficial and valuable to me as a frequent flyer.
SkyTeam Alliance = Benefits at Your Fingertips Around the World
Kenya Airways, being the only African airline within the SkyTeam alliance, makes it important for travelers to have
- Easier connections globally
- Access to worldwide lounges
- Ability to earn and redeem miles with partners

As the only African member of SkyTeam, Kenya Airways is a clear choice for travel between continents.
