Emirates has announced a seasonal frequency increase for its flights between Dubai and Entebbe, adding three additional flights a week to its existing once daily service, effective from 05 July 2019 to 15 September 2019. This is in response to the growing demand for travel during this period.
The three new flights operating on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, will be operated by a Boeing 777-300ER aircraft in a three-class cabin configuration, offering 8 seats in First Class, 42 in Business Class and 306 specially designed contoured seats in Economy Class.
Emirates’ Boeing 777-300ER offers First Class passengers a private suite, seats that recline to a full-flat bed and a personal electrically-controlled mini-bar.
Features also include touch screen Wireless Integrated Passenger Seat Controllers for Emirates’ In-flight Entertainment (ice) and seat functions, as well a 32” HD LCD screen.
With electrically-operated privacy dividers, First Class suites offer passengers maximum exclusivity – even from an adjoining suite.

The return flight, EK732, will depart Entebbe at 07:15hrs and will arrive in Dubai at 13:45hrs.
