FAQs - booking Kigali flights

  • Is there private transportation available from the Kigali International Airport to the city center?

    Yes, aside from the public options such as buses and taxis, travellers to Kigali may arrange a private car rental at the airport. The rental company will provide a shuttle from the main terminal to the rental location just across the street between the airport and the KN5 Expressway. Alternatively, many hotels in the city offer free shuttles and VIP services from the airport to deliver arriving travellers to their destinations.

  • Can I relax in a lounge during a layover at Kigali International Airport?

    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.

  • Are there any on-site airport hotels at Kigali International Airport?

    There are no on-site airport hotels at Kigali International Airport. Fortunately, however, there are hotels near the airport, such as the Avisha Town Hotel, which is located less than half a kilometre from the airport and offers free airport shuttles.

  • Are there any special vaccination requirements to enter Rwanda?

    Passengers arriving at Kigali International Airport do not require any special vaccinations unless they are arriving from a country affected by an outbreak of Yellow Fever. Travellers arriving with pets will need to provide a health certificate for the animal indicating a rabies vaccination at least one month before arrival at Kigali Airport.

  • How far is Kigali Intl Airport from central Kigali?

    You’ll need to travel 5 km to reach the Kigali city centre from Kigali Intl Airport.

    Sometimes travel dates aren't set in stone. If your preferred travel dates have some wiggle room, flexible dates will show you all the options when flying to Kigali up to 3 days before/after your preferred dates. You can then pick the flights that suit you best.

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.

Super friendly crew, good communication. I wasn’t expecting food on a short flight but they handed out a cheese sandwich on pretzel bun, very nice!

Super friendly crew, good communication. I wasn’t expecting food on a short flight but they handed out a cheese sandwich on pretzel bun, very nice!

The boarding of this flight was total chaos. For some reason, all passengers had to stand in a lengthy line at the gate to have our passports checked for the FOURTH time. No reason was offered for the necessity of the fourth re-check, and when we got to the end of the line, the check was perfunctory. There was little to no crowd control at the gate and in some cases, tempers were flaring. On the other hand, once we got on board, everything about this flight from start to finish, especially the quality of the food and the service, was probably the best I have ever experienced..

The flight and all amenities were good to excellent. SWISS was awful to deal with. Every step of the way they nickel and dime you. Chose your seats? $14. Change your seats… No accounting for the prior payment. You get billed again. 17 pound restriction on overhead luggage, nonsense. It’s a weight in the plane whether it’s in the overhead or in check baggage. They just milk you for every cent they can and I resent it. The flight was excellent.

plenty of legspace, snacks, no pull face from flight attendants when asking for a wine. Also fast transfer ability at ZRH.

Entertainment sounds were not good. Otherwise everything else was good.

Plane was empty on the first leg of the journey. Seats have very little space between seats. No entertainment.

The flight itself was fine, but due to a snow delay my connection to Lisbon was delayed by six hours. Despite this, Swiss Air still managed to lose my luggage. Not acceptable. Someone else on the flight also lost their luggage.

Flight from Warsaw to Zurich was just OK but the food selection for purchase was very limited. They were out of sandwiches from the very beginning

We still don't have our luggages... flight was Saturday Jan 3rd and today is Wed 7th...even after fling the delayed/missing baggage report on saturday night and contacting SWISS (which is not answering) we still dont have our luggages...

They lost my luggage on December 30th. It is now January 3rd and i still don’t have it. I’ve called lost and found multiple times and they cannot provide an update. They keep saying one day and then it gets postponed again. This is ridiculous and unprofessional. It’s infringing on my vacation. I have stressed how important it is for me to have my suitcase right away. It should have been resolved within 1-2 days.

Everything was better but france airlines more better than them

Good leg room for people of all sizes. Pleasent crew.

WE didint profit of food , but for the other think all was good

Spacious and clean aircraft. Good food. Economy will always be squeezed but thankfully I had an aisle seat for stretching exercises. Good selection of movies, particularly Spike Lee joint.

Unfriendly, 8 hours delayed, no lounge access even flying business. Don’t fly Brussels

Flight from London was delayed so missed the connecting flight. Taking 2 days to get to destination which should have only taken a few hours.

Too cramped up for the better seats I paid for.

I didn’t like my seat in my return flight from Montreal to Orlando at all; considering I paid extra for better seats. That middle seat was cramped up way too much.

Suitcase didn’t arrive to Stockholm. Chairs y comfy and not even water is offered

Bad baggage and people management at boarding forcing me to dispatch my bad despite being the perfect size and respecting everything perfectly, whereas many did not and many free empty spots on the plane as usual… making me loose time and my planned bus at arrival to go to Geneva. Costing me 100 euros extra! So Brussels airlines needs to refund me

It was a good experience - too many times checking at the airport - every time had to remove shoes , belt , laptop etc. that was a bit of exaggerated. The seat had a sharp metal plate -- which torn into my jeans.

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

I will fly this going forward especially for ORD to EBB and the reverse.

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

The plane was old and the luggage racks above us were visibly shaking during turbulence. Water was dripping on our heads during landing. Our flight was over 2 hours late departing but we were not updated or told what to expect as the screen at the gate continued to read “on time”

I have my baggage left either in Jeddah or Addis and undelivered to Abuja

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..

They only gave us 30 minutes to make an international connecting flight. We didn’t make the connection but they did do a good job rebooking us despite the chaos. Our bags didn’t make it back and their process for customer support is pretty bad when it comes to luggage.

Good. Crew do seem to be less friendly- management are clearly limiting them or not empowering them as they used to.

Didnt make it on flight. Flight was delayed. Then had to get rebooked for a flight that was 8 hours later. Guess who had to wait for 8 hours at the airport?

It was a nice and smooth trip. Gave a friendly environment throughout the journey.

Just fine, got me from point a to point b, nothing to complain about.

Meal and drink service was good. Old plane with old business class seats were quite disappointing

The flight was smooth, the plane was spacious and clean, the staff was kind and the food was decent.

Pretzels were a bit dry and dusty, however it is nice to have a choice between sweet and savory snacks.

The pretzels were rather dry and dusty. I do appreciate having a choice between sweet and savory snack.

Staff were very friendly. Plane left on time and arrived on time.

Delays. Poor support booking a hotel after a diverted flight.

The TV screen at my seat was not functioning for the entire duration of the flight. I informed a flight attendant about the issue, and I was told that I would receive a voucher as compensation. However, I never received this voucher afterward. I therefore kindly request to still receive the voucher that was promised to me.

Flight was on time and very comfortable. Staff were friendly and efficient. Food options were good.

Flight delay from Nairobi to JFK causing me to miss my connection. While at NBO waiting more than 5 hours for departure, no Kenyan Air representative made any announcement as to why the delay or when a new time would be given.

Very terrible airline. The flights were delayed for long hours and the customer service is terrible. Never flying with Kenya Airways again.

Overall good experience but for long distances there really needs to be more room.

there really needs to be more room with each seat for such a long flight.

They boarded backwards so our zone meant nothing!!! My TV was broken, the remote was broke, the head set jack was broke! So i was stuck for 15 hours with no form of entertainment!!! The service was ok but they didn't check on us or serve many snacks. They acted like you were a burden when you hit the call button.

The plane was delayed almost three hours because boarding was unorganized then we were delayed even longer because the plane had an issue. The plane didn't look well maintained, there was also alot of tape on the exterior. I won't fly kenya air ways again after this trip.

Sadly, flights were delayed both ways with no reasons given other than " operational".

The crew was good but the entertainment was poor . All old movies and TV shows and very few of them. Needs current entertainment. Seats too firm. Food just ok. Nice though to have option with upgrade of no one sitting in middle seat

I purchased the upgrade to have 3 seats open, so I was able to sleep 9 hours. Without that I would have been miserable
