vol retardé puis annuler, sans explication
FUYEZ je n’ai pas écouté les avis et je m’en veux plus jamais.
Cela fait depuis 10h du matin que nous sommes dans l’aéroport de rwanda, il est 20h on a toujours pas de nouvelles.
Bloqué à l’aéroport, on ne s’est pas douché, rien du tout c’est une horreur.

Rwandair is worst than bad, Please stay away from them, very poor and incompetents customer service at Heathrow airport during check in
I ignored people advice i became a victim, ignored this advice and you shall be a victim too
stay far away from Rwandair

Worst airline ever!
They seem to have a culture (which they are ironically proud of) of having useless uneducated staff members whether in the UK or Rwanda, their staff members are extremely stupid.
Anyway, they effectively stole my luggage and refused to do anything about it. No apologies, understanding, nothing.
They just wanted payment then proceed to get you to your destination any way possible even if that means boarding a broken plane that was delayed because it refused to run properly initially.

This is a cowboy airline and all should be very careful when booking because that cheap price will end up costing you so much more in the long run, no savings to be had.

If you love you family and your life, avoid this airline.

100% avoid Rwandair.

I cancelled my return flight months before flying with Rwandair due to a flight change that made the transfer connection unviable. I was promised a refund by Rwandair, as can be seen in the email chain. I have STILL not received my refund. To make matters worse, the outbound flight that my partner and I took with Rwandair was the single worst experience in my life. We were stranded at Kigali for 8 hours with the connecting flight continuously being moved backwards and the staff were giving us incorrect data - saying the flight had left, when we could clearly see it hadn't by looking at flightradar24.com. We had no Rwandan money or ability to buy water from the airport and the airline waited 5 hours until it agreed to offer us "complimentary" water.

You might want to save a few $$ on a cheap airline, but remember that it's not just the money you save on the airline, but the money you spent on the entire holiday on the line (as well as your time and sanity). We almost missed the start of our Safari (a trip we'd been saving up for for years) and it's just not worth it.

Flight to Hre through Doha & Kigali. Delayed in Kigali for over 4hrs. Arrived in Harare with no luggage other than our hand luggage. Found out all bags were left in Doha. Had to wait for 2 days before the luggage arrived. Return journey delayed in Hre, departure 3hrs later, arrived in Kigali and waited for nearly 2hrs for them to organise a hotel. Flight to Doha was again delayed leading to us missing our connecting flight and spending 8hrs waiting for the next flight. Got to the UK & 2 bags missing. Communication was terrible, more or less non existent. Definitely won't be using Rwandair again & don't recommend it to anyone.

It's important to write reviews when things go wrong, but also when everything goes well. And that's definitely the case for me. I flew with Rwanda Air for my solo trip from Paris to Johannesburg. Everything went wonderfully well, whether on the plane, at the airport or with customer service. Everyone was lovely and very professional. For my return journey, my flight was delayed by 48 hours, which was not at all convenient for me. I called customer service, who sorted out the problem within a few minutes and enabled me to return on the right date. I recommend this airline 150%. Thank you very much!

1 star is generous they are a bunch of hypocrites. When we were five minutes late, they refused to help us in any way. No flexibility, no understanding, nothing.
But on our return flight, they delayed us by two hours, made us miss our connecting flight, and now take zero responsibility. No help, no solutions, no apology. We were meant to come home today and they are saying the next flight they can get us is in 3 days???? Where are we meant to sleep??? Rwanda air what do you have to say for yourselves?!
Rules only apply to passengers, never to them. Absolutely useless service. Rwanda Air are shit

They talk about timeliness - guess this only applies to passengers they can take money from UGH!!!!!!!

Les retards sont systématiques, longs et sans raison.
L’organisation est aléatoire et personne n’a l’air de savoir ce qu’il doit faire.
Je ne reprendrai PLUS JAMAIS un vol avec cette compagnie.
J’ai commandé des repas végétariens pour chaque vol, mais l’équipe n’était au courant de rien. Il y a un repas que je n’ai pas pu manger.

À éviter à 100%

Fuyez!!!!!! Ne prenez jamais cette compagnie !! La pire compagnie qui puisse exister ! Ils annulent les vols sans explication sans solution . À part si vous avez 1 mois de vacances ou si vous êtes très flexible sinon oubliez !!

RVDE CHECK-IN STAFF
Flew RwandAir from Lagos to Paris, layover at Kigali. Their check-in staff at Lagos airport were highly unprofessional, rude, and always asking for money from passengers. They stationed a roadblock just before the boarding area with staff searching hand luggage. I was harassed and told I wasn't allowed to bring in some of my things.. (already cleared by customs). I had to pay money to their staff via my bank app, for her to release my property. This experience ruined the entire journey for me. I reported this incidence to Rwandan air via mail, along with the receipt of transaction as evidence.. SURPRISE! SURPRISE!! No Response.

It is just sad.

Absolutely pathetic sh!tshow, run by incompetence anf highlights the level of service Africa has to contend with. Almost 6 months for a baggage claim, emails to the CEO and customer service takes ages for a response. The are the absolute pits. Its hilarious that Rwanda wants to host a F1 Grand Prix, they can't resolve a simple issue caused through their own negligence.

Rwandair is the worst airline I have ever flown with. Their customer service is so incredibly poor. Issues we had: 1. When we first booked&paid for seat upgrades, they claimed we didn’t pay. 2. they emailed us 6 hours before our flight to say it’s been cancelled and rescheduled for the next day, we called customer service who had no information, 2 hours later (we should have already left for the airport), we got an email to say the last email was an error&the flight is still scheduled today)! 3. We purchased premium economy seats then got given economy seats at check in; we were advised to email for a refund as the aircraft had changed&no longer had premium seats. To date I have still not had a refund&were being told that when we changed our flight date (we rescheduled our trip due to injury from May to Nov), we were supposed to transfer the EMD as well as our tickets and these expired in September; to even know what an EMD is as a customer is ridiculous; they have finally agreed to refund but we still haven’t received a payment and every email sent comes back undelivered, worst customer service I have ever experienced.

What an absolute poo airline! Their check in staff are disgusting and should be retrained. I beg you all to spend a little more and fly a better airline.
Their whole business model should be reviewed by iATA
I travel a lot - almost 6 times a year and use various airlines; this is by far the worst in my life

Still waiting for Rwandair to respond to my complaint emails from July. Flights delayed 24 hours again, prebooked seats not available, even though travelling with an infant. Food requests not met, the list goes on. Worst airline I've ever used, and will never use again. Direct flights from London to Entebbe with Uganda Airlines are much more efficient.

I would have given minus star 🌟 if was available..rwandair is terrible airline and customer service is ridiculous 🙄
Came from nairobi via Kigali and when we reached London my bag didn't arrive from Kigali.. waiting in the conveyor belt for 1 hour finally realized the bag didn't come from Kigali
A woman at the helping desk who is supposed to be nice with passengers was very RUDE & Didn't like to help passengers to claim their luggage.
I made a trip to the airport next day to retrieve my luggage and didn't succeed. I wasted money to go to terminal 4 heathrow..
I would not recommend anyone to choose RWANDAIR...ITS TERRIBLE AIRLINE..
better choose kenya airways or British Airways direct flights

Flew back today from Kigali to London on a business upgrade but had to jump through so many hoops. It was not quite the experience I was looking forward to.
The staff were trying to be helpful, nonetheless it was an experience I will hope not to repeat.

I booked this airline from Heathrow to Lagos with a lot of fear after reading all the reviews. It was relatively cheaper compared to most airlines this time of the year so I took the risk anyways but did 2 times of insurance - baggage protection and then general travel insurance which also covered baggage protection. I also wrapped both my boxes for £20 each at Heathrow because I felt if my boxes went missing, then at least the content would be intact for staff that may be tempted to steal stuff. I was also mentally prepared for horrible service from the staff.

My experience was the exact opposite instead and I think I'd be remiss not to share. Flight departed on time with clear communication. Even the connecting flight came on time and we were ushered to the correct place to wait for boarding after landing. Both my boxes arrived with no issues exactly as I packed them. Staff were courteous and excellent all-round. Meals were hot and tasty plus we got served on both the main and connecting flight. In fact, I spilled a full pack of chicken pasta with sauce a few seconds after it was handed to me and a staff reassured me it was okay, cleaned it up and replaced the food pack. Overall , I was quite pleased especially because I was prepared for the worst based off the reviews here.

There was no flight WiFi but maybe that's because I booked economy. Flight entertainment was also a bit outdated but I guess that's not a big deal if you and your luggage get home in one piece. So would have given it a 5 star if not for that. But everything else was awesome.

I last wrote a review on their service but since then, I used their services twice without writing a review. I saw massive improvements in their services. They are now on time. Their service is at par with other airlines. Keep up with your good service. Wwll done for the massive improvements.

Avoid ##RwandAir Flew from Heathrow to Tanzania, flight delayed over an hour. Arrived in Kigali and my connecting flight was cancelled, although this was several hours later. Stuck in Kigali for a day with no clothes etc and lost a day of my holiday.
Return flight was just as bad, sent emails saying the flight had changed. Rushed to the airport only to find out it wasn't. Again flight was delayed.
Customer service is non existent, emails etc are ignored. Admit liability and offered compensation of £520. Over a month later still not paid and ignoring emails so will have to go through the court.
Avoid these scammers and book elsewhere, they are cheap for a reason! They will ignore your emails and ruin your holiday!

Unfortunately you don’t deserve even one star I’ve been fool enough to use you service 3times and I must say I’ve learned my lesson this is the last time I ever use your service. Unfortunately my flight was rescheduled again and I’m so angry because one have own reasons to chose dates to flight. After that costumer care doesn’t help at all.
