We also pay for services like DSTV subscription in US$. As long as the rate of conversion is near mean as possible, its no big deal if they accept KES.

Truly; I never understood what the BIG STORY was.

There was no NEWs here!

I have always paid my KQ local flights in USD... converted to KES at the days rate.

Even F540 charges in USD...

This system was started many years ago!!!!!!

Or did I miss something?

@ Cde, agreed- Not a big deal

Concern will mostly arise if KQ being a Kenyan Flag Carrier declines to issue ticket to customer who pays in Kes.

Otherwise the difference is same. KQ will generate same income, cost to the customer same, net effect same -either currency!

The point is, USdollars now become the only accepted mode of payment for your air ticket. This stinks to high heavens. It is in times like this that I miss Osama.
