Direct or connecting
20% of the services we sell on this corridor run through without a change. The remaining 80% involve one connection.
How far it really runs
The route covers 4,175 km against 4,054 km in a straight line, a detour of 3 percent. Track and road geometry account for the difference.
Where the change is

If the connection is missed
The tightest connection we sell here has a 20 percent chance of not being made on the timetable alone. Part of this journey is a self transfer between separate tickets, so leave more time than the minimum and expect to check in again.
First and last departure
The first service of the day leaves Kigali at 06:48 and the last at 07:30, across 5 departures. The return direction keeps its own timetable, so the times back are not these times reversed.

Dubai is large, and the road in from DXB can take longer than the last hour of the flight. Cars are not our business.
Getting from DXB into Dubai?
Settled in advance, so the ride into Dubai costs what it said it would rather than what the cab stand says.

Where these numbers come from
Observed service A carrier record shows this named operator serving this named pair, and we carry that through unchanged.
Schedules, seat counts and fares are generated by our own model until the supplier contracts are signed. Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance are real. We would rather say that on every page than let a modeled number pass for a filed one.
Every figure above was computed for Kigali to Dubai on September 11, 2026: 4175 km of route against 4054 km in a straight line, 5 services a day, 1 operators, a cheapest fare of €374.20, and 8h 49m door to door on the fastest mode. The return direction is computed separately and its numbers are not these numbers.
The flight is the simple part. What you do once you are in Dubai is somebody else's catalog.
