Cheap Uganda Airlines flights

Uganda Airlines, the national flag carrier of Uganda, marked its re-entry into the skies in August 2019, reigniting the legacy of its predecessor that operated from 1977 to 2001. Established in 2018, the airline began its commercial passenger operations a year later. Uganda Airlines is in the process of growing its fleet, which currently includes Bombardier CRJ-200 regional jets. It serves eight destinations across East Africa and the Middle East, focusing on connecting major cities and tourist destinations such as Nairobi, Mombasa, Zanzibar, and Dar es Salaam. Despite its expanding network, the airline is not yet a member of any major airline alliances.

Uganda Airlines facilitates a smooth boarding experience through its online check-in service, which is available from 48 or 72 hours before your flight up to 24 hours or 45 minutes before departure for flights. For international flights, the online check-in window is similarly convenient but adjusted to accommodate additional immigration procedures; passengers should verify the exact times on the airline’s website. Airport check-in counters are also an option for travelers who prefer or need to check in on the day of their flight.

Baggage policies at Uganda Airlines vary by fare type and cabin class. Economy class passengers can check in one bag weighing 23kg with an Economy Promo fare or two bags at 30kg each with Economy Classic and Flex fares. Business Class and any offered Premium Economy passengers are allowed three bags, each weighing up to 30kg. Carry-on baggage is limited to one piece, with weight limits that vary by fare type but are typically around 7kg and must fit within the airline's size restrictions. Fees for excess baggage are detailed on the airline’s official website.

Uganda Airlines allows you to select your preferred seat during online check-in. Online check-in opens 48 or 72 hours before your flight, depending on your departure airport. There is also an option to purchase your preferred seat in advance through the "Manage Booking" option on their website.

Passengers flying Uganda Airlines can expect standard legroom in Economy Class, typical for regional jets. Those opting for Business Class will enjoy a more spacious seating arrangement, offering ample legroom for added comfort during their flight.

Onboard dining options depend on the flight duration and the passenger's fare type. Economy Class passengers might receive complimentary snacks and beverages, with the option to pre-order hot meals for purchase during the flight. Business Class travelers, meanwhile, are treated to complimentary meals and beverages, with a variety of options to accommodate different dietary preferences.
