RwandAir FAQs

Find quick answers to the most common questions about flying with RwandAir.

What should I do before leaving baggage reclaim if RwandAir baggage is missing or damaged?

Report it immediately to the destination RwandAir representative and obtain a file reference. Supply accurate tag, brand, colour, type, contents and address details.

Who should I contact when RwandAir baggage remains missing beyond 21 days?

Contact the local station or [email protected] / [email protected]. These are follow-up channels, not a guarantee of compensation.

How do I check RwandAir My Dream Space availability and price?

Use the invitation link or enter your booking reference and surname on its product page. Pricing varies by flight.

Will RwandAir My Dream Space transfer when my flight changes or is cancelled?

No. Its published policy provides an automatic refund to the original payment method and a confirmation email.

Are RwandAir cabin baggage limits identical for every destination?

Normally one 55 × 38 × 20 cm bag up to 10 kg. Johannesburg is limited to 7 kg.

What happens if my RwandAir cabin bag exceeds its size or weight limit?

It must be checked. Staff verify the limits with baggage sizers at check-in.

Can I buy RwandAir’s 24–32 kg overweight allowance online beforehand?

The published excess tables list this weight bracket as sold at check-in only. The fee depends on origin and destination.

Must I show my payment card at RwandAir check-in?

Its online payment policy requires the credit/debit card used to pay. A verified 3D Secure liability-shift exception may apply.

What authorization is required if the RwandAir cardholder is not travelling?

Bring an ink-signed letter approving purchase, stating origin/destination, amount and full cardholder contacts, plus a passport or national-ID copy, at check-in.

Does using 3D Secure automatically waive RwandAir payment-document checks?

Do not assume so. Confirm the issuer accepted liability shift with the bank/card issuer or [email protected].
