I'm not sure if I got an upgrade to First Class on the first flight or a downgrade to Premium Economy on the second flight.
Both flights were on the same aircraft and booked in the same booking class. So why were my seats different? I have no idea.
Join me as I fly Kuwait Airways for the very first time - flying from Sri Lanka to Egypt via Kuwait. Both flights were on an Airbus A330. Both flights were booked in business class via the Kuwait Airways website. Both in booking sub-class c.
On the first leg from Colombo to Kuwait I enjoyed Kuwait Airways Business Class in a luxurious 1-2-1 configuration. However on the second leg from Kuwait to Cairo this cabin had magically transformed into a first class cabin and I was relegated to what was sold as economy-plus on the first leg. I've never heard of airlines doing this in the past so it may just be a Kuwaiti thing.
All in all it makes for an interesting business class flight review featuring 2 different types of cabin on the same aircraft.
This review also features the excellent Kuwait Airways business class lounge in Kuwait as well as the onboard service, meals, lie-flat bed (first leg only) and the inflight entertainment system.
