Dear Korean Air,
If you’re starting service to a new destination (let’s just say Nairobi, Kenya, for example), chances are that describing the locals as “indigenous people full of primitive energy” won’t get you very far. See this Huffington Post article for full details on the screw up.

In the United States, this is common practice in marketing materials - using hyperbole to make something sound catchy while actually saying something trite. I'm looking at just such a statement on a package of toilet paper where it says "take softness to the next level".
it is just a result of poor translation. some good meaning words cannot translate to english easily.
@arcticbull It seems only fares through the Atlantic are possible for NBO. A theoretical direct flight is a bit over 9600 and via CDG is 9700. Via ICN is 12244 miles.
@AK I checked ExpertFlyer and KE doesn't publish any fares on this route :( All that exists are the IATA fares. However I don't think this should stop you from trying!
hehehe typical!....that is hilarious!
