    Yes, you can. The Arrival Lounge has been set aside for arriving travellers, such as those awaiting their luggage. Business-class travellers on Rwandair flights can also take advantage of the Rwandair Dream Lounge, located just past security in the main terminal. Departing passengers may choose to relax in the Pearl Lounge at the cost of around RWF 30,000 (C$ 36). The Pearl Lounge is in the main hall near the duty-free shops.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Kigali

  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest Kigali flight deals.
  • Kigali International Airport (KGL) is the largest airport in Rwanda. If you wish to visit other major cities in this part of Africa, you may find that it’s cheaper to fly into Kigali and then take public transport. For example to Kampala, Uganda, shuttle buses travel daily from the Kigali Airport for around RWF 10,000 (C$ 12.00).
  • It’s considerably cheaper to travel to the Kigali city centre on one of the bus lines, which stop on the KN5 road just outside the main terminal of the airport. These buses offer hourly service to the Union Trade Center downtown for about RWF 1,000 (C$ 1.20), compared to taxi fares which are generally closer to RWF 3,100 (C$ 3.75) for the same journey.
  • If you need to change currency upon arrival, the KGL Kigali Airport offers ATMs that distribute Rwandan francs to travellers with international bank cards. There is also a branch office of the Bank of Kigali in the main terminal, which offers currency exchange.
  • If you depart from eastern Canada (such as Toronto), Turkish Airlines tends to have flights to Kigali with the fewest connections, often only once in Istanbul. If you are departing from western Canada (such as Vancouver), KLM Airlines tends to offer flights with the fewest connections, often only once in Amsterdam.
  • Canadian travellers will need a passport valid for at least six months after arrival to enter Rwanda once they arrive at Kigali International Airport. A 30-day visa is required of Canadians, which can be obtained for free in-person upon arrival at the airport.

I wish I knew in advance that the connecting flight was by indigo air

I wish I knew in advance that the connecting flight was by indigo air

I appreciated the vailability of wheelchair services for persons with mobility issues all the way up to the aircraft. What could be better would be the food choices.

Initial booking was confusing and had to get new CC issued.

Awesome hospitality, awesome staff, awesome food & awesome travel time. Thanks

My baggage is lost. Flight cancelled, Rebooked ticket through long routes. Mental stress, emotional hurt

Excellent will be flying again in May with Qatar. to Botswana.

Boarding delayed, no communication. I left the lounge, and heard a final call, boarding started after a 30 minutes.

This flight was packed and undercrewd! Service cart cam by twice on a 14 hour flight

Just snacks, could have more options.boarding was good. Everything else was good.

Nothing I knew what I was getting into ; no complaints when on string budget

Turkish Airlines made a long flight from YVR to IST a great flying experience. From the attendants, to the food, to the entertainment program to all the extras, a twelve hour flight ‘flew by’. Late departure and arrival was not the airline’s fault.

My experience with Turkish Airlines was good. I didn’t get the meal I ordered. So I didn’t have anything to eat which was disappointing.

Boarded via bus instead of the air bridge Had to wait 10mins in the bus at the tarmac before we were allow to go up

The flight attendants were great! The seating for business class is better on other airlines. The food was also good!

Great food, great entertainment and very helpful, caring & attentive staff.

Food is getting worse. They use to be different than other airlines. Their economy classes food sucks. Stuff was very helpful.

Horrible, they forgot our luggage, the food was terrible, the crew were rude, the flight was delayed, I hated every aspect of this flight

The flight was delayed so connection was missed. In Istanbul we were taken to a hotel and no one in the hotel knew so we had to wait hours in the lobby of the hotel while the airline and hotel coordinated. The airline staff is rude at times

The checking line was very long , when checked the bags and got the boarding pass but moved fairly fast . The boarding line was long and the ground crew didn’t provide priority to kids boarding . But the air crew on the plane were very nice and polite . Too bad my daughter’s table try was broken which made the trip less enjoyable.

Food could have been hotter. More padding needed in economy seats

Too cramped up for the better seats I paid for.

On board service was decent. I like the legroom at UA that seems to be more than in other airlines

It was really good because the employees were very nice and fun to talk to. The entertainment was nice because they had plenty of movies to watch.

The boarding process would have been better. When people are flying internationally and the airline is a member of Star Alliance they cannot have different rules for carryon baggage. Brussels Airlines made us adjust the weight of our carryons based on their rules even though we were flying international and our next flight was with United which does not have weight restrictions for carryons. That was just ridiculous.

I missed my connecting flight due to long lines at security and immigration. Need improvements

Been flying on various airlines, all over the world, for 50+ years. The food on Brussels Air was easily the worst I ever endured.

I felt the overall quality of the plane and food service was less than that of their partner airlines, United. An example was wine was served in paper cups in premium economy class. There was no real silverware, napkins or a welcome kit other than a pillow and blanket.

I like the frequent mails we get when there is an update. Please keep it up

I have traveled to probably over a hundred locations worldwide, but had only one mixup of airport in Shanghai. Until Iceland and Stockholm. Reykjavik has 2 airports, Stockholm 4 (!). Please indicate clearly when a departure flight is scheduled from an aiport other than the international aiport. That would greatly reduce stress. Thanks

we had to unexpectedly check a bag, the flight was late getting in

Good. Our connecting flight was over an hour late but the airline held the flight to IAD for us and the other connecting passengers.

Flight was delayed by two hours. This really messed things up because I missed my connecting flight in Addis. I had a meeting in Entebbe which was scrapped because my flight from Addis landed later in the day.

To the Ethiopian Airlines Customer Relations Team, I am writing to formally express my disappointment regarding my recent travel experience with Ethiopian Airlines on flight 629/352. Unfortunately, the level of service provided fell significantly short of the standards I expected from your airline. I would like to highlight the following serious issues encountered during the journey: • Cabin Condition and Hygiene: The aircraft cabin was notably poorly maintained. The seating area was dirty, and there was a persistent, unpleasant odor throughout the flight, which made the environment very uncomfortable for passengers. • Inadequate Service: The overall level of service provided by the staff was unsatisfactory and did not reflect a professional passenger experience. • Baggage Loss: Upon arrival, I was informed that my luggage was lost. This is particularly distressing as it has caused significant personal inconvenience and disruption to my schedule. As a frequent traveler, I value reliability and a clean cabin environment. I request that you investigate these matters immediately, provide an update on the status of my missing baggage, and outline how you intend to compensate for these failures in service. I look forward to your prompt response and a resolution to my lost luggage claim. Sincerely, Puguh

We had a good flight experience with this airline despite reading many negative comments

The crew was not helping us in the airports ..Very bad experience..the washrooms are not meeting the expectations..need more good service... The hotel service was good but there is a very long wait time which wasted time to go through..

POSITIVES The hostesses were mostly pleasant, NEGATIVES The full flight wifi was horrible, hardly able to use it. My charger port was not working which made me use my neighbour's port which resulted in an accident which ruined her flight. During dinner, meat ran out when the cart got to us forcing us to eat vegetarian which was not great. We watched everyone around us eating meat. My wifi did not transfer to the second leg of my trip as they promised as they changed the plane. I was thrown off the window seat I booked for the 2nd leg of my journey as they changed planes, all done at my expense. This was not a cheap flight ($2600) which i hurriedly had to book to attend my mother's funeral who passed away suddenly. I was honestly disappointed with the whole saga as I heard Ethiopian Airlines was one of Africa's best.

worst was delayed luggage. could see luggage was still in Singapore but they insist I wait till all luggage are unloaded before filing a report. took 2 days to arrive and I had to collect it myself from the airport

United was best airlines I have seen since I got there choose united airlines

Customer service and the food was great. If the announcements in English could be said slower for the customer to understand what is being said. Due to ascent, it is difficult to understand. repaeting would help.

I was a good, but long trip. The airline did a good job. I would use them again.

The flight from Anchorage to Vancouver was OK, but the seats are quite uncomfortable.

Flight was delayed and rescheduled 3 times before being cancelled. Flight was also delayed on our flight in at Moncton airport on August 10th. Never flying with PAL again.

Longer lines at Air Canada to check.. could not get my boarding pass online.

We were delayed from 8am until 5pm. Was not given food vouchers,just left sitting in waiting area.

We were seated in Business class. The seats must have been original to the A319 from 1995! The seat back had ZERO padding/cushion! It felt like I was leaning against a plywood wall (in reality, it was probably some composite material that was as hard as plywood. ) but very uncomfortable.

Connection was easy to find and quick. Plane was older but comfortable. The food contained beans again so a similar problem of being in a tin can in the sky after eating beans. Overall flight was uneventful which is great.

Check-in was quick and efficient, the flights were smooth and comfortable and the food was fairly tasty. Eating beans while in a tin can in the sky is not necessarily the best choice. Our luggage came quickly and easily.

Delayed on the way in 2 hours!!! And now on the way home delayed then cancelled!!!!!

Delay in luggage again for the second time of the trip. I would not advise using air Canada or at least I will never check in a luggage. Luggage issue overshadows the nice crew members unfortunately.

Air Canada was fine but air Canada rouge and air Canada express was terrible with luggage delays. First flight was cancelled so my luggage did not make it to my destination with me. The second flight returning not sure why but my luggage did not make it on my connecting flight. Overall terrible with handling luggage.
