RwandAir Anmeldelser 

Travelled from London to Kigali then Harare,oh God it was my worst experience , 1) the food was not nice and was limited on water ,imagine water .They said it was finished but then later saw them giving a white person a full bottle.I tried explaining how much I needed it because of the headache I had but they didn't do anything about it.2) They forced passengers to give them blankets an hour if not more before landing without even considering how cold it was in the plane, I was left so cold and vulnerable.
3) My bag was searched and all my perfumes were stolen, I complained and they refused to compensate.
It's the worst flight experience I have ever had and will never travel with them again.
I do not recommend Rwandair it's the worst

We arrived in the airport 4 hours before our flight Johannesburg to Heathrow, but only managed to check in at the time the flight was boarding due to the ineptitude of the airline. Firstly, the gate number was not displayed on the screens - this was the only flight this happened for. By the time we found the desk, there was a queue, but it was barely moving, despite 4 desks for the airline in operation. After two hours, as we got nearer to the gate, we saw that passengers were being instructed to remove and replace their baggage from the conveyor belt several times, with the majority being sent away to repack their bags. We had checked the weight of our bags as well as we could using a home weighing scales, but when we got to the check- in counter we were told that 2 of our bags were 2kg overweight, so we were told we were not permitted to check in unless we paid a fine. We pointed out that our other bags were very underweight (by 8kg and 10kg), but the staff member on the desk said each item was considered individually. While I felt this was unnecessary, what annoyed me was the fact that staff member was so rude. She did not greet us or even make eye contact at all throughout the transaction. She was very unfriendly in her tone and manner. We went to reorganise our bags, but found the only weighing scales provided by Rwandair was broken. We had sealed our bags with cable ties, and the staff said they could not help up to open them. Eventually we reorganised our bags and had to return to the same rude staff member to check in (the same bags with the same overall weight) and again she refused to make eye contact, actually looking away from us when she did speak, so it was very difficult to hear her. Eventually I pointed out that her attitude was disappointing, given what excellent customer service we had received throughout South Africa during our holiday, but when we collected our bags, the last bag we had checked in had had the cable tie removed and items near the top stolen from it. I can't help but feel that was more than a coincidence!
Passengers on the flight were only permitted to board from the font, causing the process to take a long time, but was then an hour late leaving as they could not disconnect the stairs from the plane! We disembarked at Kigali for a stopover using both front and back steps, but when we returned to the same plane, we were not permitted to use the back steps, which were still connected. It's like they went out of their way to be poorly organised and incompetent. I will not be flying with them again.

I do not recommend Rwanda Airways ever. It's been my worst experience.
Travelled with them and l regret.
Am already at my destination and it's been 5days and l still don't have my luggages and no communication (am in a foreign country)
They don't even answer phonecalls and to make it worst for layovers they will delay you indefinitely for more than 12hrs.
Food on flight was terrible and the aircrafts old and dirty.
Board at your own risk 😢

Terrible wait for 4. 5 hours. Rude staff would push through people.haf no patience just was not the dream of africa

Very silly airline. Please don't ever use this airline. They deliberately delayed my husband and son at the check-in counter only to later tell them to go and reschedule their flight saying check in has closed. They were there and the staff told them to hold on. Very bad experience that I won't forget in a hurry and would never fly them ever again.

They have just cancelled our flight to Dar, 2 weeks before travel. And rebooked for 24 hours later. But we have internal flights, pickups, hotels. So much money.

Awful experiences on both journeys. Do not use at ANY COSTS especially if you have connecting flights.
Unacceptable communication and total confusion, which has left us and other travellers stressed and unhappy.

Qatar airlines need to drop Rwandair! They don't need a company like this to represent them. Our luggage was purposely left in Qatar going to Rwanda and then left in Rwanda going to Qatar. Don't use! The President of Rwanda needs to fire everyone

Dreadful airline that constantly changes schedules without any care. Our return flight was cancelled and they simply thanked us for our understanding!
Avoid at all cost. Not worth the stress!

Our Rwanda Air flight was delayed by 24 hours, and the entire experience was a disaster from start to finish. The hotel they put us in was appalling – dirty, uncomfortable, and completely unacceptable for stranded passengers.

Communication from their customer service staff was non-existent. We were left in the dark with no proper updates, no clear instructions, and no real assistance. The staff at the airport were unhelpful and seemed uninterested in resolving passengers’ concerns.

The entire process at the airport was disorganised and frustrating. I would strongly advise against using Rwanda Air – poor service, poor management, and zero care for customers.

Do not use this airline.

I am a frequent flyer with Rwandair and in the silver class, which means I take at least 20 flights with them in a year, over 80% of which are intercontinental. Increasingly, I am getting frustrated at the delays and cancellations. It has happened several times (three times for me to London from Kigali this year). The customer service agents have a mixed bag of good and not-so-kind people. The airline also doesn't realise the value of passengers' time when delayed. I am frustrated, and despite my allegiance over the years, it appears I have to say no more to the airline. It's become difficult to recommend them anymore. And whoever is responsible, including RDB, please help the team work on customer service. Compensate when you have to.

⛔️⛔️⛔️Do not use this airline whatsoever, if you think you are going for cheap flights, you will regret it, our flight time was changed with no explanation,end up stuck in Kigali for 5 hours with kids travelling ,Help desk doesn't know what is going on , only one screen working showing flights timetable, you can't even hear what's been said on the speakers , you will see your flight on the time table written check in closed while they is no gate number yet , first time and my last time flying with Rwandair , was warned not to use it ,but ignored, lucky we get to our destination with all our Luggage , some people didn't ⛔️⛔️⛔️DO NOT USE THIS FLIGHT for real

Purchased a seat a month before departure and it was changed the day before departure, delayed in Kigali for 7 and half hours. Tried to phone customer service and they hung up on me, this airline is now one of the appalling airlines it’s better to use BA, Qatar, or Emirates I have never been so disappointed with an airline

Worst,terrible, airline. PLEASE DONT FLY WITH RWANDA AIRLINES u will regret it. I wish I could give zero 🌟 to this airline. They changed our flights from July 23rd to August 6th. Come August 6th we get to airport they said the airline is full and we don't hv tickets 😑 yet we was recieving emails from them about our flight. We was 3 people in office complaining of the same problem and all 3 of us our destination was Los Angeles. This means it is game done and they know what they were doing. After screaming and exchanging words with Rwanda Air Entebbe airport manager they got us tickets SMH yet initially they said the door was closed. Please please if u want to enjoy your travel experience, don't fly with Rwanda Airlines. I will never ever fly with this airline again.

I had one of the worst travel experiences of my life with RwandAir, and I feel compelled to warn others.
On flight WB711, I left my phone in the back pocket of the seat. I realised almost immediately as I was about to enter the airport at Kigali, and tried to go back to retrieve it — but I was denied re-entry. I then spoke to numerous RwandAir staff and supervisors who promised to look for the phone. I even showed them the live location of the phone, still on the plane, using my husband’s device. Despite this, they did nothing.
Over the past three weeks, I’ve followed up multiple times, spoken to supervisors in person at Kigali airport, and emailed every address I was given — not a single person has replied. I chased this up again in person during my return flight, armed with every detail they needed, and I was once again met with complete incompetence.
Worse still, at Kigali, there's only one RwandAir rep to deal with all customer queries — who clearly has no authority or understanding of how to handle anything. They repeatedly claim they’ll call a “supervisor,” but the person who shows up is never one, and the process resets. Just today, around 20 passengers including myself were made to wait endlessly for unresolved issues, left confused and stranded.
My phone is now gone — likely stolen by someone on the aircraft — and RwandAir has made no effort to investigate, recover, or even acknowledge the matter.
Avoid RwandAir. Their systems are broken, their staff are not equipped to help, and their customer service is simply non-existent. I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone, especially if you value your time, belongings, or sanity.

All of our flights (4) got canceled or delayed. Rwandair didn't communicate at all. It's the worst airplainexperience we've ever had. We never fly again with Rwandair!

The few times I have unfortunately had to use this airline has resulted in every flight either cancelled or delayed. Avoid this airline at all costs!!

Nous devions quitter Kigali le 27 aout 2024 à 0h30.
quelques heures avant, nous avons appris que notre vol était annulé, sans raison ni mécanique ni méteo. Nous avons dû partir le lendemain, sur un vol passant par Bruxelle. Nous avons compris à Bruxelle, au nombre de passager restant dans l'avion pour Paris, que notre vol était annulé pour une question économique: les passagers Kigali Paris ne remplissaient en effet pas l'avion.
Du fait de ce changement, nous avons eu beaucoup de frais suplémenatires qui n'étaient pas prévus: changement de train, hôtel, repas
et malgré demande et rélamation, et la loi, rwandair ne nous à rien remboursé

Aircraft change to an inferior product, delay on the way home of 26+ hours, left stranded. Same story as most of the other reviews really. Trying to get the money back that I spent is almost impossible, Rwandair customer service just ignoring me, I have called and sent hundreds of e-mails but just not replying. Service on board was okay on the way out, very good on the way back to London but this airline doesn't deserve to operate the way they are currently performing. Avoid at all and every cost - literally, I promise it is not worth whatever money you save. I would rather walk than travel with them again.

I arrived at Murtala Muhammed Intl Airport Nigeria 5 mins late to the close of check in and the staff refused to check me in saying I am late even when the counter was still open checking in people who have crossed the barricade. Unforseen Circumstances can cause a delay which should be considered especially for people who r few minutes late but this airline refused even when I told them I am traveling to London from Kigali. The next day flight had no flights moving from Nigeria to Kigali and finally London, only from Nigeria to doha and to London which was estimated for 39 hours. I pleaded, knelt down, begged and begged but they refused to check me in. This is pure wickedness from the staff and the entire Rwandair air. This will be my last time myself and my entire family will use Rwandair air. Human empathy is completely zero. Do better.
