SkyTeam member KLM is promoting its flights to Rwanda’s capital Kigali by dropping prices way below the usual fare. Until May 2022, you can fly to one of Central Africa’s fastest developing countries for just €366 from France, and starting at €420 from the United Kingdom, Sweden, or Denmark. A checked bag of 23 kg is included in this fare. A change of planes in Amsterdam is necessary both ways.
All Air France and KLM tickets issued for flights until March 31, 2022, are fully refundable. You’d receive a voucher which can be refunded to your bank account. You can read more about this here.
Worldwide travel restrictions are in place to slow the spread of Covid-19. We strongly recommend gathering detailed information about the travel and quarantine restrictions that apply to your desired origin and destination.
A good start is the International Air Transport Association (IATA) website. It provides current updates on a country’s immigration policies. Even better, the Covid-19 Travel Regulations Map is one of the most useful tools you can find.
