The airline cancelled my flight and as a result I had to book thru another airline. Furthermore, I forfeited $20 with kayak.

Pros: "Did not travel"
Cons: "Because of COV-19 my friend that I did not travel. I tried to contact the airline by all possible means but Air Tanzania did not get back to me. Needless to say we did not receive any reimbursement for the flights paid. Communication with the customers would have been nice and the tickets reimbursed or vouchers offered,"

Overall a very comfortable trip. Boarding process could have been more organized. The food could be better. Crew is excellent!

Staff was very pleasant. Flight was delayed but information on delay was not clear.
