Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Kanombe Intl. Airport to GIG last minute?
Being the spontaneous type is a fantastic way to see the world, but it isn't necessarily the wisest way to land a cheap fare. Consider booking your Kanombe Intl. Airport to GIG trip in advance rather than waiting until the last minute. Based on flight pricing and demand studies in 2022, we have found that the best time to book domestic flights is between 28 – 35 days ahead of the departure date, and international flights three to four months in advance. You can unleash your spontaneous side when you reach GIG!
What airports do you fly into for Rio de Janeiro from Kigali?
From Kigali, you can journey to Rio de Janeiro via Galeao - Antonio Carlos Jobim Intl. Airport (GIG), Santos Dumont Airport (SDU) and Niteroi Airport (QNT). Determine which airport is more convenient for you before making your decision. If you decide on Galeao - Antonio Carlos Jobim Intl. Airport (GIG), it's about 13 kilometers northwest of the center of the city.

Can I change the date of my flight from Kigali Intl. Airport (KGL) to Galeao - Antonio Carlos Jobim Intl. Airport (GIG)?
