Question 15

Which airlines fly direct from London to Kigali?

Accepted Answer

RwandAir is the only airline offering direct flights from London to Kigali, with a service out of London’s Heathrow Airport (LHR) to Kigali International Airport (KGL). Unfortunately, this service is limited so you should also consider flights with connections to journey from the UK capital to its counterpart in Rwanda. Passengers closer to LHR can fly Kenya Airways with a stopover at Nairobi Kenyatta Airport (NBO) or Ethiopian Airways with service via Addis Ababa Bole Airport (ADD). Turkish Airlines also provides one-stop service from LHR as well as London Gatwick Airport (LGW), if you prefer, and these require stopovers in Istanbul (IST). The quickest one-stop flight takes about 10h 30min if you travel with KLM via Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (AMS), but you might be able to get a cheaper fare taking the KLM flight out of London City Airport (LCY) which makes stops in AMS and NBO.

What is the best way to get in and out of airports in London and Kigali?

The best way to get to a London airport for flights to Kigali should depend on the most convenient transport method available. For instance, families travelling on holiday may find it makes sense to drive to a London airport and use the Short or Long Term parking facilities while solo travellers and couples may prefer to travel via public transport. In such cases, there are express trains departing from locations in Central London including London Paddington Station for Heathrow Express (LHR) and London Victoria Station for Gatwick Express (LGW). Passengers bound for London City (LCY) can  ride the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) from Bank Underground Station or Canary Wharf to catch their flight. Your public transport options on arrival in Kigali International Airport (KGL) are somewhat limited to Kigali Bus Service from the airport terminals to the central business district downtown. Airport taxi service and airport car hires are the next best options unless you book a hotel in Kigali that offers airport shuttle transfers.

What are the benefits of the different airports in London and Kigali?

When it comes to benefits of choosing one London airport over another, you should consider that London Heathrow (LHR) has the highest number of flights, but you could get one from London City (LCY) for a cheaper fare and it may simply be more convenient for some to depart from London Gatwick (LGW) because there’s less travel involved. Otherwise, you can get very efficient public transport to all three and each airport provides a range of services, facilities and amenities for your safety, leisure and comfort. Airport car parks offer attractive deals for Short & Long Term stays and you can enjoy complimentary food & beverages at the various airport lounges. All provide essential travel assistance for the disabled and also offer family services such as changing rooms and play areas for children to run off some steam before the long flight. At your destination (Kigali International Airport), you can locate an Information Point to help you navigate the terminal. Some passengers might require directions to the Express Forex Bureau and cashpoint machines, for instance, or may wish to pick-up a few items from the Duty-Free shopping area. The airport also has a Postal service, medical facilities and luggage storage lockers.
