burgled bag while in flight
1
I was travelling on Flight KQ310 from Nairobi to Dubai on Friday, July 12th 2019. My seat number was 11J, which is the front row of the economy section. I placed my carry on bags, one small with valuables - including my wallet with 1500 USD - in the overhead locker immediately above me During the flight I fell asleep. When I awoke we had just landed in Dubai. When I stood up to remove my bags I found they were missing. One of your flight attendants, a lady, standing near me told me that she had moved them further along to the next compartment which was in business class which, incidentally, was virtually empty. I assumed she had moved my bags so as to make more room for other luggage. After clearing customs, I went to a forex to change some dollars into local currency. At this point, I found that 1000 USD had been taken from my wallet. I had 1500 USD when I boarded the plane. I discovered that I had 500 USD when I disembarked. I suppose I should be grateful that the thief left me with 500 USD - enough to get a hotel for the four days I had planned to stay in Dubai. I have travelled with Kenyan Airways many times over a thirty year period. I will never travel with Kenyan Airways again.
