What an amazing transformation. Now if only they served alcohol it would be unmatched choice for me for long flights.
looks great I only wonder is this piloted by the bewitched pilots as reported in the Arab times Dec 4 or the 5th? the article does not say what airline they fly for.
Cabin crew involved in black magic deported – Pilots victims of their spells
13 hours ago
KUWAIT CITY, Dec 4: Three female cabin crew members of different nationalities and working for a local airline have been deported from the country after accusing them of involving in black magic, reports Arab Times daily.
The daily added, the women were deported after they started blackmailing 12 pilots and their assistants and demanded KD 200,000 from them.
According to reports the pilots and their assistants behaved in a strange manner after the trio allegedly cast a spell on them to such an extent they literally were at the mercy of these women who began to lure them with their when on duty.
Their services were terminated and they were deported after the concerned authorities received information about their activities. During interrogation they had reportedly admitted to the crime.

So the only difference between between Economy and Premium Economy is 3″ seat pitch? Would be interesting to see if they’re going to be priced differently as well.
Awesome otherwise, hopefully Kuwait Airways only goes upwards from here.
Yeah 3″ seat pitch which means more legroom as well. And of course it’s going to be priced differently.
no the usual difference is that I think premium gets a menu of better food than regular economy and the seats are adjustable.
seats are adjustable in regular economy as well, the difference between premium and regular economy is usually leg room and sometimes slightly wider seats.
and yeah sometimes a better menu and extra, luggage, earlier boarding etc..
Passengers seated on Premium economy would be looking at the same menu, and will be boarding together with the rest of the passengers in economy class. The only difference is the leg room.
This makes me happy! We need 12 more of those :p
Well there are 9 more coming by the end of next year
You mean by the end of 2016?
End of next year, so 2017. We are at the end of 2016 now.
this video is long and more detailed..

thanks just added it to the post
the premium economy on KU is more like KLM’s economy comfort seat .. same seat as economy but with more leg space.. which i guess you’ll get to buy by paying a seat charge.
the premium economy product on Lufthansa or British Airways is a complete different seat and usually quite more expensive then their lowest economy fare
Congratulations KA I couldn’t be more happier it shows there a will to improve but there’s something off about these seats
Finally, its about time we start competing with the other airlines. No more transits! Long overdue, but something better than nothing. Super excited!
Yeah I’ve been traveling a lot more recently and realizing how much time transit wastes on shorter trips
Ever since their new A330s have begun arriving KA has been doing a much better job, and the A330s are really good compared to their old planes.
I thought this Boeing though was supposed to go to NY? Why go to London if the A330 can do that?
I guess London is their flagship (if thats the word) route?
Hub maybe the word ur Looking for
Finally something to boast about Kuwait airways…. We are de only country in de gulf that’s lacking behind in airline industry…. even Oman has a good and new fleet of aircrafts. I still remember flying Kuwait airways in the 80s… It’s was one of the best airlines in this region after Cathy… I still have de booklet like tickets of Kuwait airways… anyways hope this is de start to a new life in Kuwait airways
Would it kill you to write “the”?
Nah he needs ta do it for de dab squad.
he is a bounty
The entertainment system looks like a huge upgrade and beats any other airline…the seats though? i dunno they don’t look very comfortable, expected more from the business and first class seats
Sorry mate, but no airline can beat Emirates ICE yet 🙂
It all boils down to service. Even if you have the best physical amenities, but get condescending looks from the staff, it’s all worthless.
Nice try though….
Blarney Bob is on to something. Lack of consistent service has been the Achilles heel for Kuwait Airways not just an ageing fleet. If they manage getting that right, half the battle’s won.
First and Business appear decent though not outstanding.
