How to get to | Uganda

This is part of a series of blog entries on how to get to countries and places. Here is a link to the index. I plan to eventually cover every country and some other places. If you have a request for a particular country or place please use the Contact link at the top, or leave a comment.

There are bus services from all neighbouring countries to Uganda. Airlines flying to Entebbe, Uganda include:

• Star Alliance – Brussels Airlines, EgyptAir, South African, Turkish
• Oneworld – British Airways
• Sky Team – Kenya, KLM
• Other sSelected – Emirates, Ethiopian

TIP Longhaul travel to/from Uganda most likely requires flying through Europe.  There are relatively few flights intra-Africa and none between Asia and Uganda.

TIP The Oneworld continent-based Explorer around the world fare allows back-tracking through Europe from Uganda as an exception (along with Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria and Tanzania). Only one of the transits through Europe can have a stopover.

TIP For awards, Star Alliance offers the most routing options. However on some programs which limit the number of transfers there may be difficulties due to the lack of flights from any major hubs.
