Once again, there was a technical delay…
SCHOOLED: I have decided to make peace. I had planned to narrate my struggles with Uganda Airlines. Our love life had started off quite well. But as with all Ugandan relationships, the first moments are the best, the next ones will always school you.
My first delay with Uganda Airlines was in Nairobi, for a flight meant to take off at 10am, it only took off at 3pm. The reason code then was about a technical delay. I swallowed, after all, I was returning home. You can always suffer everything as long as you are returning home. But when you are departing, going to some other land, you do not want to suffer a flight delay.
And that is how Uganda Airlines schooled me again. The flight this time round was meant to take off at 8pm from Entebbe. Nga it clocks 8pm, no single word. Then murmurs, then rumours that it could be a three-hour delay, then the truth hit, the flight would only leave at 6am. Yes, once again, there was a technical delay. The night had its other stories, but let us reserve them for that point of a future delay. If one can find a way to board Uganda Airlines when it is already in the skies, that is the trick. Because once it hits the skies, it is the best of airlines on this route. You see the plan was not to bore you with my Uganda Airlines episodes, the plan was to prepare you for this coming festive season.
