As plane departs during mid-night there was no mentioned of meal service but instead everyone get a sticker of "Feed Me / DND"
Many of the business class passenger deplane in BOM (from 80% Load Factor down to 50%) and PY is pretty much empty.
On enroute to KGL the plane has to stop at EBB as KGL rejects incoming flight. Passenger origionally onboard for KGL-EBB was invited to deplane.
Nevertheless it's a comfortable ride and I have no problem sleeping despite the interruption at BOM. I will do this again next year if I am going to Kigali again.
Glad to read your review, thanks
ChrisLi - looks like you got a good value for your money.
Did you get off in BOM or stay on the plane?
Yes, very true, due to humidity Kigali often experiences fog or "low" clouds (despite its high elevation) which disrupt trafic frequently. In January our flight from BRU circled over 1h above Lake Victoria. Due to the connecting flight to EBB, I was
praying ...hum hoping to be diverted there - but unlike you, we landed late and had to quickly catch the flight KGL-NBO-EBB instead of the nonstop KGL-EBB.
If you find good fares for your next trip please share with us.
