Best Arrival Time at EBB Airport for Your Departure Flight

Entebbe Airport is the main departing point for all those who would like to travel from Uganda to abroad. There are several international airlines that operate flights from Entebbe runway to multiple countries in Africa, Europe, America and other parts of the world. The list includes also Uganda airlines, the nation’s flag carrier.

To board a flight, you must book a ticket in advance, have a valid passport, get a visa for the country you are visiting and as well get to the Airport in time for check in.

For most flights, you have to arrive at the departure lounge three hours before the flight departing time. It is the same for the Entebbe Airport. This is advised to create more time for you to finish the security checks and the check in process at the customs.

If you are getting to the EBB Airport in the busiest hours, make sure to plan and get there four hours before because during this time, the Airport experiences too much car traffic congestion starting right at the gate. Moreover, the parking area is fully occupied, so it may be hard for you to get the parking slot.

Another thing to consider is the traffic congestion in Kampala, especially if you are coming from the capital city and its suburbs. Most roads in this city including the northern bypass experience too much traffic jam in the morning and evening hours. So, be sure to start off the ride in time.

When you see you are getting late for your departure flight at EBB, you can do things like checking online. Most flight operators have the option for you to do the check in via their online website.

For a quick ride in the rush hours, the car is not good. Just take a Boda guy, but this is perfect for those with small luggage. If you have big luggage, the only option is the car. So, it is always better to plan and move in time such that you reach the Airport without hustle.
