Ugandans got a glimpse of the first of the two Uganda Airlines A330neo aircraft – the A330-800 – being rolled out of the yard after branding in national colors. This was posted on the AirbusNeo330 facebook page prompting euphoric response on social media.

A tweet on the official Uganda airlines page stated, “Soon General Wamala (Uganda’s Works and Transport Minister) will be leading a team to France to flag off the bird home.”

Before the lockdown and closure of Entebbe International Airport due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the airline was flying to Nairobi, Mombasa, Dar es Salam, and Mogadishu and had planned for Harare, Kigali, Zanzibar, and Kilimanjaro airports as part of its regional destinations.

Uganda Airlines plans to use the A330-800 to build its medium- and long-haul networks with the aircraft offering cutting-edge technology along with more efficient operations. This shall add to the existing fleet of four Bombardier CRJ 900 Atmosphere cabin models that were ordered prior to the launch of the airline in April 2019.

Cornwell Muleya,  Acting CEO of Uganda Airlines, said they hope to receive the wide-body aircraft by December, a slight delay from the earlier plan of October 2020 – consequently pushing the start of international flights to next year. Muleya said, “We’re targeting that we receive the aircraft in the last quarter of the year, at least by December, so that early in the New Year, we can launch our operations.”There has been uncertainty as to whether the orders would be confirmed as the COVID-9 pandemic had ground international travel to a screeching halt.

However, Maleya in an earlier press conference prior to the one-year anniversary said the airline shall continue with its plans to make its mark on the African continent and beyond.

“Our plans are ongoing and on course [with what] we committed at the beginning – that in addition to developing the regional networks of which we have developed nine, we still have a few more to get to the eighteen or twenty that we require for Africa. We said we are going to extend the network to intercontinental destinations; we want to go to London, we want to go to Dubai, we want to go to Guangzhou with the A330s. As a start, we also want to connect to West Africa and Southern Africa where that capacity is required.”

Fitted with the new Airspace by Airbus cabin, the A330neo will bring a range of benefits to Uganda Airlines and its customers, offering unrivaled efficiencies combined with the most modern cabin.

The A330neo is powered by Rolls-Royce’s latest-generation Trent 7000 engines and features a new wing with increased span and new A350 XWB-inspired Sharklets. The cabin provides the comfort of the new Airspace amenities including state-of-the-art passenger inflight entertainment and Wi-Fi connectivity systems, among others.

When traveling you want to be comfortable and relax as much as possible because people often travel to wind down and escape from their everyday routine. It allows you to feel refreshed as it is also a breath of fresh air especially if you live in the city. The fresh air from trees in the mountains, or the smell of newly cut grass in the countryside, or the smell of the ocean and the sound of the waves crashing at the beach takes you away from the hustle and bustle of the city you live in. Travelling can also be a break you can take while exploring something or someplace new. It can be going to a city you haven’t been to. This allows you to immerse yourself in different cultures. You are opening yourself to new food, environment, or lifestyle. Either way, no one wants stress when they try to go away for a vacation.

The problem is, people tend to think that travelling comfortably tends to cost a lot. But there are ways you can travel luxuriously without breaking the bank. Here are 6 ways to make the luxury vacation you’ve always wanted more attainable.

1. FLEXIBILITY

Traveling at an out of peak season already cuts expensive rates. Travel companies like airlines or travel agencies won’t offer discounts, special offers during peak seasons like the holidays because they’re going to sell out anyway. So, if you can, try to travel out of peak season. This also allows you to avoid crowds!

2. BOOK AHEAD

There are lots of discounts for early bookings. If you can plan ahead of the vacation, do it! Booking ahead is much cheaper than booking a flight compared to booking a flight that is nearer to the date of departure. You can do this by knowing your leaves, if you’re working or your long breaks, if you’re a student. If you know the dates you can start plotting your vacation and start by securing your tickets!

3. SAVE

This is one of the most obvious ones but you don’t want a tight budget when traveling as unanticipated expenses might come along the way. You would want a loose budget.

4. CONSIDER ALL OPTIONS

Scour the internet for discounts and offers. Try to know if it’s cheaper to book direct or use travel agents.

5. LOOK AT EXCHANGE RATES

Don’t just have your money exchanged at the first money changer you see. Expect that the rates at the airport or at tourist spots will be really low. Try to look for places who will give you the best deal. This will help you save money.

6. JET CARD

Jet cards members only pay for occupied flight hours, not the time spent positioning the plane before or after the flight. There is guaranteed availability with no peak travel time surcharges. You can also choose your aircraft among light, midsize, super-mid or large cabins. This guarantees comfortability and allows you to get the most out of your money.

Travelling doesn’t have to be expensive. By being smart and following the tips in this article, you can make luxury travel affordable.

Dr. Tanarak Plipat, Deputy Director-General of the Department of Disease Control for the Ministry of Health in Thailand, said that the COVID-19 situation in Myanmar directly affects Thailand’s efforts to contain the coronavirus pandemic as Thailand tightens Myanmar border control.

Currently in Myanmar, COVID-19 cases and deaths are surging and rising daily. Previously, the country had mostly avoided the worst of COVID-19 compared to its Southeast Asian neighbors where the coronavirus was running wild during this pandemic. Although the mortality rate is fairly low – being at around 1 per 100,000 people – the virus is at present spiraling. A month ago, 7 people had died from COVID-19; today the number of deaths has risen to 530. As of last Wednesday, 1,400 new cases were reported for that day bringing the total to 22,000. To date, Thailand has recorded 3,634 positive COVID-19 cases with 59 fatalities. Thai 4th Army chief of staff Major General Pramote Phrom-in said security authorities have tightened enforcement along its land and sea borders to prevent foreigners from Malaysia sneaking into the kingdom.

“The intensified patrolling by Thai and Malaysian security authorities has resulted in a significant drop in the number of illegal crossings along the Thailand-Malaysia border. Since the new wave of COVID-19 outbreak (in Malaysia), only a few cases of illegal entry have been reported,” the Major General told Malaysian National News Agency Bernama.
