I’ve taken an interest in RwandAir over the past few months, which seems like a cool airline that’s doing great things. They have some nice-looking A330s that they fly to Dubai, Brussels, and London, and I’m hoping to fly with them soon, in conjunction with a visit to Rwanda. In late June I first wrote…

That's a lot of tight turns for an aircraft to make consecutively. I can't imagine the on time performance being stellar given how crowded London airspace can get.
Any new developments on the proposed/speculated KQ JFK-NBO nonstop.... Anyone?
I have to go to Rwanda next August and all the IAD-KGL routings in C are $4,200+. Maybe I'll book on r/t IAD-BRU and another on Rwandair from BRU. How much cheaper are their fares?
WB allowed to book BRU-LGW-KGL all the time. They however listed it in the GDS with a transfer in LGW, so the visa requirement became extra clear for anyone who wanted to book this.
BRU-LGW wasn't sold separately under WB fares, but technically it was possible to book that segment with an expensive IATA YY fare.
@Lucky be careful with this airline. I booked KGL to DXB in August and the original equipment was listed as a330. I check in to find out it was changed to a 737 all of a sudden. The $666 I paid for a business class seat like a domestic first class is not worth that price. They never even notified me of an equipment change. I know these sorts of things happen, but to advertise a full flat seat and sell it as such and then switch to some crummy seat for an overnight flight isn't legit.
We flew Rwanda Air and the service was outstanding. Reminded me of Ansett in Australia. When you visit you must go to the Genocide Museum in Kigali and a visit with the Gorillas is a must.
The museum was designed around the same concept as the Holocost Museum and is very educational. Today Rwanda people are all part of One Rawanda nation.
Kigali is a lovely safe city today
Lucky let's see some reviews of:
Air Greenland

Lion Air
Susi Air
Batik Air
Sriwijaya Air (all 4 Indonesia domestic)
Just got back from 11 days in Rwanda drilling a water well in Southern province. Make sure to fit in a couple days at Lake Kivu. Magical.
