Booking international flight with Vayma. What does it mean if one of my flights has a "stop" in Rwanda?
Apparently this is different than your typical layover, at least Vayma makes it seem that way. I'm flying from Milwaukee to Entebbe, Uganda, on January 27th. My trip will consist of 3 flights one-way--Milwaukee to New York, New York to Belgium, and Belgium to Uganda. That said, under each of the flights in Vayma it displays the number of stops. All of the above said flights have 0 stops, except for the flight from Belgium to Uganda....it says that there's one stop in Rwanda for exactly 1 hour. So...does this mean it's just another layover? Would I reboard the same aircraft as before or switch gates, or what?? I've never heard of a plane "stop" before in the sense that it's being set apart from your typical layover. What does it mean? This probably won't work, but here is my itinerary if this helps: https://www.vayama.com/jsp/checkout/purchaseSSconf.jsp?s=79942403&source=results&cb=0.06495212554000318

A stop means you remain on the same airplane for the next leg. You may be asked to off and back or or you may simply stay on-board for the hour. A layover is one where you change flight numbers and planes. Look at your ticket and you will see the same flight continuing on.

The flight from Belgium to Uganda may just take a fuel stop in Rwanda.

All they will be doing is coming down to drop off passengers and collect new ones. You will not be expected to get off and re-board.You remain in your seat for the stop period.

It means what answer number 1 says. :) How much are you paying for it? Vayama has been a bit more expensive lately... there are quite a few sites that you can search that will likely give you the best prices available. check out the website BookMe and you will be able to compare prices on all the reputable travel sites in just a couple minutes. it's very convenient and will save you a bunch of time and money. Also, make sure you buy them online... otherwise they charge much higher fees for phone orders. good luck.
