Comedienne Elsa Majimbo Urges Travelers to Boycott Kenya Airways After 'Bad' Experience

Breakout Kenyan-born comedienne Elsa Majimbo has sparked a debate on social media after she urged travelers to boycott Kenya Airways (KQ).

Taking to Twitter on Thursday, the 19-year-old entertainer shared her ‘bad’ experience with Kenya Airways. She noted that the airline left her luggage in another country and only informed her about it 30 minutes after she reached her destination. 

“Today morning Kenya Airways left my luggage in another country cause the weight couldn’t enter the plane. I was told this after I waited for my bags for 30 minutes!” Majimbo wrote on Twitter.

She followed this up with another tweet where she explained that despite inconveniencing her, KQ did not bother to apologize, urging travelers to avoid the airline. “No apologies were issued. The plane was incredibly small it looked like a domestic flight one. I would not recommend this airline tbh. For travelers avoid it if you can,” she added.

While some online users agreed with her that KQ offers poor services, a majority said she was wrong to urge customers to boycott the airline.

Kenya Airways has since issued an apology to Majimbo over the incident. 

“Hi Elsa, we're sorry for the delay of your luggage. Allow us to follow up on this, to ensure that you're reunited with your luggage soon,” KQ said through Twitter.
