Online check-in is a free service available through the airline's website. Check-in opens 48–72 hours before your flight (timing varies by airport) and closes 45 minutes before departure. Early check-in allows you to secure preferred seating, submit meal preferences, and download or print your boarding pass.

  1. Visit www.ugandairlines.com and select 'Check-in' from the main menu.
  2. Enter your booking reference (confirmation code) and last name.
  3. Review your flight details and select a seat if available.
  4. Add or confirm meal preferences for eligible fare types.
  5. Download your boarding pass as a PDF or have it sent to your email for mobile display at the airport.

Practical tip: Complete online check-in within the first 12 hours after it opens to guarantee seat choice on busy routes from Entebbe.

What if I miss the online check-in deadline?
You can complete check-in at the airport counter, but seat selection and meal preferences may be limited. Arrive at least 3 hours before international departure or 2 hours before regional flights to allow time for counter check-in and security screening.
Can I check in a passenger traveling with me if they don't have internet access?
No, each passenger must check in individually using their own booking reference. However, you can assist them by accessing the check-in page together or visit the airport counter for assistance.
