Taking the long route to the Seychelles
 
Hello everyone,
Tanzania and safari was wonderful. Kenya Air however, is not. The devils gave our confirmed seats away due to over booking. I'm now in Dubai and then off to the Seychelles and only because of mass amounts of complaining. They wanted us to wait until Sunday for the next scheduled flight to Mahe from Nairobi - not.
Thanks for letting me get the word out about one more greedy airline.
Peace;
Sherry

Sherry,
Crap, that's terrible.

Glad you had a good time in TZ and happy to know you're finally en route to the Seychelles.

Thanks Leely,
We'll be on our way in 5 hours if all goes well - ha. We were promised a day room but that didn't work out because they were all booked - yikes.

:O Glad you were able to get reaccomodated. I hope that doesn't mean you miss out on any part of your catamaran charter. Good luck and enjoy your time in the Seychelles!

We also used Kenya Air to fly to and from Dar Es Salaam. It is a real crappy airline, as they gave my husband and I separate seats on a 9-hour flight from Nairobi to Amsterdam!!! It's good that were found a person travelling alone and exchange seats with him! We paid for our tickets 2 months in advance, and still did not get the seats we have been promised!

Sherry -

That's a bummer.
Hope you don't miss any of your catamaran time in SEZ.
Keep us posted.
