Hi! In this video, I want to share how transiting with a delayed RwandAir flight works—step by step! From the moment my flight was delayed to getting a free hotel stay, I’ll walk you through the entire process. I had the worst experience with Kenya Airways only 8 months before, so I was like not again with African airlines. I really want to support them.
I’ll cover:
✅ What’s included in the stopover benefit (and what’s not 🙃)
✅ My experience with the hotel, transport, and overall service
🔴The rules:
You must be connecting through to an international flight on RwandAir. The long layover overnight must be the result of not having a choice for anything else (as in there are no options to fly out on the same day)
🔵 Here's what you need to know that nobody tells you about:
You CANNOT remove your bags during the transit so pack accordingly. This was not made clear in other guides I've read.
If you’re ever stuck in Rwanda due to a flight delay, this guide will help you know what to expect! Let me know in the comments if you’ve had a similar experience. ✈️👇
