by Levis Kimotho 05 Feb '12

05 Feb '12

Anyone on the list knows KQ webmaster, that can sort out the following issues on their website to make it functional? 1. Flight search results not displaying. Try http://goo.gl/DVVCJ I test this 2months ago and the same has never been fixed. Chrome16/Firefox8/IE9 2. Talk to us/Contact form http://goo.gl/l44cC does not send and has a "log in" button instead of "send" 3. The flight timetable http://goo.gl/NSnK4 is giving results that are not been requested The aesthetics are lovely but functionality which is the key to the online airline industry is lacking big time and I bet KQ is loosing online sales to competitors like Emirates or Qatar Sincerely, *Levis Kimotho*
