I’m a Kuwaiti teenager (18 years of age), I have lived in Kuwait all my life and I can’t even begin to describe my hate for this place.

We have no culture, no freedom, no nature, no nothing! It’s all big fancy cars and malls - the people here are THE worst people ever! All they care about is money and their stupid hair looks, plus the way they treat non-Kuwaiti people like they are subhumans.

Can you believe that I was prosecuted just because I listen to Extreme Metal? They thought I worship the devil and I got into trouble with the local authorities for preforming “satanic rituals” (like playing it loud in the car). Yeah…

I’m planning to get out of this prison, go live somewhere nice in Scandinavia, preferably Norway or Finland.

Once again, I detest this place. If you feel the same way please contact me on MSN, maybe we can be friends:

Talk about incompetence! Some of you who commend the airline for it’s dedication to safety should get your facts straight. Firstly…delays in this industry are what most travellers dread. You book your flight to leave at 08:30 so you expect it to leave at that time. Making excuses that they are ensuring everything is good might be a good thing but that is a legal requirement not something the airline does as an added bonus! So they need to get rid of all their old shitty planes and get some new modern aircraft. Secondly, I worked for the airline and their safety training is terrible. They don’t teach very much and when you go for the exams the teacher walks around giving everyone who’s having problems the answers so whats the purpose of having a safety department. My present airline is 100% more professional and we really do have to know our stuff. Kuwait Airways staff just want to impress people but they just look stupid. Look at half the pilots. Most of the overweight Kuwait co-pilots wear their trousers so short you can see their socks and almost their knees. How unprofessional is that. It used to make me feel scared when I saw a pilot dressed so stupid and he’s in charge of my life. Now i don’t have to worry anymore.Kuwait Airways…….you really do suck. You need to move with the times you are lost and left behind the world. I am glad I left.

Like all things involving Kuwaitis. It is poorly managed by incompetants.

Safety sucks. That’s all that matters.

heck i aint flying Kuwait airways again. I flew Business Class and the crew didn’t respond to my drinking request very quickly. Overall, I would rate Kuwait Airways 2/5. Why? because if you fly Lufthansa from Kuwait - Frankfurt, it would cost less than flying with Kuwait Airways….

To all above notes !! I have a reply that Kuwait Airways today is best known for its safety. The amount of time it takes to train its staff for safety and with the toughest of the examination they conduct to ensure that all its trainees are upto the mark for safety handlings…. please remember service to some extent is important but what counts more is the safety. If you are not safe but have a good service then I am sure you get a good service when you crash as well like you are served well with your dead bodies!!! but being safe is like keeping your self alive even if you had experienced a bad service. But I dnt think service is that bad as of KUWAIT AIRWAYS. You cannot clap with one hand , there are certainly reasons some time that makes the crew annoyed. The crew are their to take care of your life while you are flying in case of emergency and I think Kuwait Airways has the best tarined crew.

im fly with kac for long time ,and someone told me that they have only 16 aircrafts so far
and these delay we get is for ”our safety ”
i understand that when a flight would be delayed
they will take their sweet time in fixing the plane for any technical issues ,which means
i rather wait couple of hours shopping/reading books at the airport than flying and crashing in to the ocean,and by the way most of my flights
i payed for were smooth and crew were OK with me
sure some of them might be newly employed or rude
as KA haters put it that way but its not the case with me at all , i got a nice treatment lately during 7 hours bangkok flight when my TV wasnt working and they know that some TVs are not working aswell ,so that doesnt mean i cant use games and laptop during flights ,even one crew brought me a DVD from the first class and couple of flicks,one of the crew explained that their aircraft are little old and the entertainment system equipment are little outdated ,and in the same time ,they dont have the time to fix few monitors otherwise they would have a delay ,
but thats not big problem if you have a laptop
or DVD player ,and also i got the same treatment on the way back ,with totally diffrent crew
i wrote a written compliment letter for them at the end to their managment and i really thanked
them for keeping me happy
what im saying is :KAC are good company but lacks good managment in the entertainment department
and as mr bailer replied above ”humansare not the same,and i will add here ,also the crew of each flight ,one advice here : if you wanna complain ,dont shout ,they will help ,you shout
you are rude and crude,maybe some hotheaded PPL needs to think twice before they trash the crew/company ,its funny to believe that some passengers wants to go ”ROYAL” on board
thinks they can get massage ,well i guess
thats ”ego ” problem not KA ,that all i can say

so do i have to tell people that KA sucks ?
the answer is NO ,flight companies are now in
”competition” mode ,so why they would lose
passengers over person behaviour ,right ? ..

unless…. its ” personal ” ,
and thats explains KA haters here

i have been flying Kuwait Airways for years and have had the chance to see how much they spen on their maintenance and training.
from expereince, i will avoide flying any other airline as they are too commercially driven.
kuwait airways spends most of its revinue to ensure safety.
think about it, if you have to split your proffits, you will need to pay for maintenance, for training of all staff and for the cabin. i personally would appreciate the important stuff first and the decrotive staff last.

I flew to Paris on Kuwait Airways, It was a very pleasant and an enjoyable flight though the flight was via rome, the crew was exceptionally friendly and polite. The food was delicious, Maybe the flight you took was a bad one, all humans are not the same i guess. Anyways try a few more flights and you will agree with me. It all depends on the crew who serves you. The crew who worked on my flight were great. I would definitely fly Kuwait Airways again..

Kuwait Airways, hmmnn…haven’t flown with them yet but reckon they are the most low profile of Gulf carriers today.
My weekend f***buddies tell me their inflight crew can be exceptionally rude to the point of making even US cabin crews seem polite and that in itself, says quite a bit actually.
From what I have seen of the KU crew at the airport in Kuwait there doesn’t appear to be that much of a heterogeneity in the composition of the crew in that there is no international or a cosmopolitian feel, if you will to the crew make-up.
This can be a big downer in today’s age of “globalisation” and “the world is my village”. Is it also true that Kuwait Airways cabin crew is notoriously garrulous and like chatting with each other to the nineties ensuring that all passengers get as little sleep as possible and arrive at their destination as sleepy bags.

Oh my god, I’ve just bought a ticket from London to Bangkok and since I’ve been reading these websites, it seems as though it could be the worst four hundred quid I’ve ever spent! I’ll let you know how I get on.
