Jeg er netop kommet "hjem" til Rwanda efter en lille, vellykket tur til Dar es Salaam på økonomiklasse. I Tanzania og Burundi er der - i modsætning til Kenya, Rwanda og Uganda - er der frihed for corona-restriktioner. Ingen synes berørt og økonomien buldrer derudaf. Ingen bærer masker og vi står som sild i en tønde i busserne. Glem at bære maske - de tror du er kriminel, røver, eller syg. Hvis der har været corona er den tilsyneladende væk...
Sendte dette indlæg til Skytrax (scorede til 9 af 10). Billeterne er billige, men omkostningerne er høje. Pandemi er blevet business, man bliver tvunget i karantæne paa dyre hoteller i hovedstaden Kigali. Hospitalerne arbejder formentlig med hotellerne, da forsinkede svar giver øget hotelomsætning. Win-win for forretningen men lose-lose for individet.
Well done, Rwandair
Flew Kigali to Dar es Salaam (on 8th November 2020) and back a week later. Convenient flying times (mid-day out, and afternoon home). Both flights were on the same aircraft, a De Havilland DHC-8, called “Dash 8”. This is a propeller, which is small (80 seats?) and noisy. Not many passengers on the outbound, but full on homebound. Cheap, promotional ticket (250 USD) with generous luggage allowance. Both flights on time. Free seat selection at check-in. Special seafood meal accommodated both ways and extra food provided on request. Check-in smooth and Cabin crew polite and efficient. A short stop in Kilimajaro airport on the way back went smooth. The Covid tests requirements (both ends, and again on arrival Kigali, total 3 tests!) are a nightmare and costly (150 USD); further comes 1-day quarantine at arrival in Rwanda, but one cannot fault the airline for this...
