Forums Frequent flyer programs The British Airways Club Using Avios on Rwandair

    Has anyone tried to do this recently? I was just searching for a return to Kigali using my QR privilege club and hitting brick walls. Every J ticket shown seems to be on QR and flexi and therefore atrocious value. Can’t easily see where there might be a date when it’s normal pricing and actually on Rwandair.

    Have you tried partner redemption tool? Some airlines are not integrated in the normal search. The way it works is that you put in request and then they come back to you whether it’s available or not.

    Yes, only a small number of carriers are bookable online so far (although it is a longer list than what you are told on the website.)

    Rwandair is bookable on QR, but found it to not always show availability. For instance I can see 1 business class seat on the KGL>LHR on Feb 8th, 2026 (77250 Avios+53 USD)

    I have not, thanks for mentioning it as hadn’t occurred to me. I will try.

    And thanks MZB, that’s around the time I am thinking of going so those dates are helpful and encourages me to look for others. I hadn’t seen even one normally priced over several dates.

    How did you find this? Im searching on QR and its showing but anyday shows so I cannot actually see if it has availability or not.
