ALONE in Africa's STRANGEST Business Class 

Don't worry pretty much all other nationalities choose ME airlines over their own too

At least you have one. In Denmark we have incredibly expensive trains and Scandinavian Airlines SAS is going broke every minute.

At least that's a very tasty A330neo

Yeah and remember we pay double because it's our tax money that keep bailing out SAS ​@@charisma-hornum-fries

You two take flight report video is so funny!! 😂

Try next time go to Timor Leste!

“The King of Loo Reviews” I laughed so hard loooolllll 😅😅😅😅😂🤣

Do a video with bald and bankrupt next !

I love your collaboration. Do more. I been subscriber of both your channels for a while. Sometime you should do Island Hopper with AIR Mic (nickname)

An A320neo + A321XLR combination could have been a moneymaker considering the XLR probably can reach most of Europe and the ME. But CRJs and A330s? Colour me a bit sceptical.

agreed@@jatterhog

Us British just aren't used to it!

I am the same way Noel and I am one cranky fucker when I am hot!

I came on here to say that LOL

@@noelphilips I was thinking the same thing. 75F (23C) is very nice weather to me in Missouri, but in the UK, with no AC, it is boiling.

I think Josh Cahill is used to it since he's been living in Sri Lanka......

I visited Uganda in December, and flew in and out on Uganda Airways, thanks to Noel and Josh's reviews. Dubai to Entebbe in economy on Mt Rwenzori (5X-CRN). I was upgraded on check-in ... never mind, I was downgraded at boarding. My first ever flight to Africa, and it was such a hilarious adventure. :) The flight was absolutely full, but the crew was great under the circumstances - one told me it's very rare to be 100% full. Return flight to Dubai was premium economy, and on 5X-NIL - so I've been on both! Flight not so full and a few empty seats in my cabin. Crew was fabulous - the sort of service I would expect in business class on other airlines. Food was amazing ... and I remember wanting to keep one of the crystal glasses! Some western airlines could learn a thing or two about service from Uganda Airlines.

Yes!!!!!!!!

No breakfast before landing Dubai?

I'd LOVE to see you two do a Japan trip when they fully open back up!

And boy was I exhausted on this one!

Ever gone through Cairo as a transit passenger? Wowsers... :)

@@Ozpif Arrived/Departed there twice. Wanted to see the Pyramids....

And here I was thinking dalaman was ridiculous for having an extra security when you enter

It’s interesting how one guy who didn’t even pay for the business class was able to move up there but nobody else was that’s strange 👀

There was a TV series about Nairobi airport some years ago and I found it unbelievable what was going on there in what is supposed to be an international airport. Veggies being grown by a local inside the airport perimeter, porters having to pay for the privilege of working at the airport etc. Just blatant corruption.

At Nairobi, I twice had the taxi driver tell the front gate security, "He's late for his plane." Don't know if it's because I'm a white guy, but both times they let us drive up.

Glad you enjoyed it!

The process needs to be streamlined. 2 experienced travelers only note this as an inconvenience because it’s not seen at many other airports in the world. The system and structure should be in place to manage transfer/passenger traffic. Think about it, like this. How much “safer” are you if you have to present and explain the SAME documents 5 times…

@@JonanDBH Let me start this off with a disclaimer. I am neither a spokesperson for Entebbe International Airport nor one for Uganda Airlines. However, having flown through Entebbe Airport several times, I am in a good position to explain what happens. The first checkpoint before getting to the terminal building is manned by Uganda Police personnel. The police force guards the airport and they mostly search for prohibited items in vehicles and on the person of any occupants in the car. That explains why everyone is asked to leave the vehicle and walk through the scanner. The second checkpoint is manned by Airline/Ministry of Health officials to verify Covid vaccination and PCR test certificates. The third checkpoint is at the entrance to the terminal building. That checkpoint is manned by the Airport operator's security officers who ensure that only travelers (with valid tickets and within the allotted check-in period) are permitted to access the terminal building. Travelers whose check-in time is 2-3 hours away are not allowed to go beyond this point so that the terminal is not overwhelmed with people waiting to check in. The third checkpoint has an x-ray machine to scan passengers' bags (the first checkpoint does not have an x-ray machine to scan passenger bags.) The fourth checkpoint is manned by the airline check-in staff whose job is to verify documents (passports, visas, and airline tickets). At this point, passengers with altered passports, inappropriate visas, or whose names as printed in the passport do not match what is printed on the ticket or visa are stopped. Their journey ends here and are either handed over to the authorities or told to go back and apply for appropriate visas or clarify their names as the case may be. The fifth checkpoint is the check-in counter and that is self-explanatory. The sixth check-point is the immigration stop, which is also self-explanatory. The seventh check-point is the pre-boarding security check. It has an x-ray machine and is manned by airport security officials who not only check for prohibited items but also ensure that containers with liquids in excess of 50 ml do not make their way to the aircraft cabin. The eighth checkpoint in the preboarding area is manned by airline officials who tear off a part of the boarding pass and also reconfirm the itinerary, especially where the passenger has a connecting flight. I have flown through Entebbe several times and this is what happens. As explained, officers at different checkpoints have different responsibilities. I have also been to other airports and know that the protocols are different and there may not be as many check/verifying points. What I would like all of you reading this to know is that different states have different ways of assessing threats and putting in place mechanisms to deal with them. I have traveled through airports where because of self-service counters, passengers encounter only immigration and pre-boarding security checks. Entebbe is different and for good reasons, I believe.

@@sebinamuwanga you are correct that yes every state has different things they’re looking for, but again I rebuttal with this… The process needs to be streamlined, meaning more efficient. 8 checks is not practical nor efficient. You counted 8 checks… Just constructive criticism.

@@JonanDBH I forgot to mention one checkpoint which deals specifically with migrant labour.....Ugandans departing for work abroad in the Middle East and Arab world. Officers at that particular checkpoint check to ensure that the migrant workers have the requisite paperwork and approvals. So, Entebbe has a total of 9 checkpoints from the Policemen at the airport entrance to the security officers at the pre-boarding gate. Can all this be streamlined? Yes! Before delving into more detail, I would like to hear from other avgeeks and their experiences at their home airports.

@@sebinamuwanga Good explanation. Thank you. Personally I do not mind the many checks at Entebbe. Safety first😊🙏

You are so welcome!

😂😭

We heard that. Very tasteless

Thank you Lucas!

Actually those security checks came about after September 2001.

Thank you very much!

EBB 😉

Great movie about that: Victory at Entebbe. Commandos on entering the airport (in Hebrew): ‘If you are an Israeli, keep your head down!’ The current Israeli PM’s brother died in that raid.

Oh yes! A 'jift' goes a long way in some places!

Good post!

😂🤣😂

I noticed that too, never seen engines do it before, i assume sand blowing in the air being ingested into the engines?

It's a huge continent, made up of many countries. You should visit one day, it's lovely.

@@noelphilips well I believe each country herein deserves recognition. In this case Uganda. There is no place called Africa

their business class looks great too.

Thanks a ton!

Wow, thank you

Dubai, if I understood correctly.
