Tips for Flying East African

  • Confirm baggage allowance and any additional fees on the airline’s website before you book, as small regional carriers often have stricter or non-standard rules.
  • Allow extra connection time when linking through Entebbe (EBB) since schedules can change and ground handling may be slower than at larger hubs.
  • Check whether online check-in and seat selection are available for your flight-these services are sometimes limited or charged separately on smaller airlines.
  • Bring local currency and anticipate paying some airport or ground-service fees in cash, especially for ancillary services at smaller airports.
  • Monitor flight status closely in the days before travel and have contact details handy; small carriers can adjust frequencies or aircraft with limited notice.
