National carrier RwandAir has forged a partnership with Optiontown that will allow its clients to enjoy savings on their flights.

Optiontown is a pioneer in travel options that seeks to create a win-win for travelers and travel providers such as airlines, hotels and car rentals.

The partnership will see clients access to enjoy savings from their ticket purchases.

The new offering enables customers to conveniently pre-purchase RwandAir flights at the best available price and decide when they want to travel at a later date.

Yvonne Manzi Makolo, RwandAir Chief Executive, said: “The linkup with Optiontown could offer substantial savings for our clients following the launch of our RwandAir Flight Pass. Our customers will be able to enjoy a new world of flexible flights and cheaper tickets thanks to the launch of this new product in partnership with Optiontown.”

Customers buying a RwandAir Flight Pass can choose between 4 and 500 one-way flights to multiple destinations, valid for up to two years from the start date. The more flights a customer buys, the bigger the savings they can enjoy.

Those purchasing the Rwandair Flight Pass can also choose their own advance booking limit - from 180 days to just four hours before departure.

In addition, up to 200 individual customer names can be added to the Flight Pass, making it possible to share with family, friends and colleagues.

Sachin Goel, Optiontown Founder  and chief  CEO, said: “Optiontown is excited to partner with RwandAir to launch our flagship product Flight Pass, which enables passengers to save on travel costs and makes flight planning and booking extremely easy and convenient. We’re confident the launch will increase customer loyalty for RwandAir and enhance the booking experience with the leading African airline.”

Travellers choosing to fly with RwandAir can enjoy the latest in-flight entertainment, spacious cabins, complimentary drinks and dining, Wi-Fi and fully-flat seats in Business Class, on select long-haul flights.

Customers can also take advantage of a generous baggage allowance of up to two bags of 23 kg each in Economy Class, two bags of 32 kg each in Premium Economy Class and three bags of 23 kg each in Business Class.
