New Kenya Airways Site

Finally Kenya Airways has had a re-design for their site. And it looks good and modern. The old one was way too cluttered.

Its looking nice :D http://www.kenya-airways.com/ On Wed, Nov 30, 2011 at 2:26 PM, Philip Musyoki <pmusyoki@gmail.com> wrote:

The website looks very well thought out but the search engine for a Dubai-Nairobi returns an empty page on IE9, Chrome15, Firefox8. Clearly this should have been the first thing the developers should have got right. https://www.kenya-airways.com/kqbook.aspx?prc=book&TRIP_TYPE=R&B_LOCATION_1=...

Noticed that too. It seems they are trying to integrate the old back-end with the new site and the core functionality (searching flights and bookings) is not working to well. They may have been in a hurry to launch without testing. An additional thing that can make the site better is to go further and reduce the clutter. Remove the ways to pay from the main page, it is not necessary, that can be added when a booking is made and one is just about to pay. Also get rid of the KQ updates and their acquiring of new planes. Can put that on About Us or somewhere else. Most airline sites don't have this. The look in to iOS and Android App for KQ, it will be nice, and most traveller are always mobile and nowadays mobile sites don't just cut it.
