![]() ![]() Uganda Airlines A330-800 Premium economy cabin This was a special flight and I fully felt that warm Ugandan hospitality thanks to the aforementioned. Up to this point, the cabin crew did an amazing job, Julian Nankya, Cathy Nayiga, Zahara Hussein and Clare kirumira particularly made an impression. I haven’t mentioned the bottle service that followed me from the moment I got comfortable. The airline also has a choice of meal for vegetarians so everyone is covered. The chocolate layered over it looked good thou for those who are interested. It came accompanied by a glorious looking salmon and a choice of desert which I wasn’t particularly interested in coz I simply don’t have a sweet tooth. I had a choice between beef and Chicken, I chose the chicken meal which seemed quite heavy at first sight. The IFE screen obviously catches the eye first and more on that later. In it was the usual toiletry items and including socks which i thought was nice. I was also gifted with a toiletry bag in Uganda Airlines branding. And a remote for the IFE sticking into the console. A small storage drawer was particularly cute. The side console comes with various amenities and accessories for entertainment and storage. My first impression: The seat colour is interesting and unique, a combination of tones of brown. The aircraft has a standard 1-2-1 configuration in the business class cabin. The Seat Business Class seat on the Uganda Airlines Airbus A330-800 Uganda Airlines has a total of 60 Pilots for its 6 aircraft fleet of CRJs and A330s. I spent some time in the cockpit engaging first officer Joe Ameda and the second officer, Isaac Ogoyi as other passengers boarded. The lead cabin crew on the flight, Julian Nankya happily pointed me to the cockpit where I wanted to have a moment with the flight crew.Ĭaptain Ivan Mecklenberg recognized me and while he was busy preparing for the flight, he kindly asked the cabin crew to push me up a class to business. And was greeted by happy and friendly faces. The Airline was perfectly on time even with the application of an arrival and quick turn-around for the A330.īoarding Uganda Airlines A330-800 Cockpit Including a very friendly travel vlogger. I took the opportunity to meet some of the passengers, a mixed group of foreign and local travelers on different missions. The optimum solution for the JNB-EBB route lies somewhere between Uganda’s CRJ-900 and the Airbus A330 so I can see why the airline is looking to add a mid-range aircraft to its fleet. It was noticeably much quieter at the waiting area for boarding and this obviously wasn’t going to be a full capacity flight. ![]() I got creative here so not too much of headache. Check-in was quick and efficient except I somehow managed to exceed the very generous buggage allowance provided by the airline. Uganda Airlines offers a premium economy product on its A330 and I was initially heading to this section of the aircraft so I didn’t get a business class experience on ground. It wasn’t too long ago that the Terminal looked like a ghost town. O.R Tambo was buzzing with traffic and its clear to see the good days are back. ![]()
