What currency are these charges in?
My Question as well, Why not simplify things please advise what currency these rates are?
They are lying to customers. In August I have paid 500$ + VAT for two extra luggage while on their website they put 150$/luggage. I was travelling from DXB to FIH. Kenya airways is keep changing price without informing customers. I have tried to complaint at Jomo Kenyata airport but no way the agents were arrogant forgetting that it’s my money who’s paying his wage.
i wanted to ask which currency is that used in the tables
