Onboard services
Food and drink
The crew of your next flight on an Embraer 145 of Africa World Airlines could offer in some routes, complementary hot drinks, juices and some snacks and sweets. This food and beverage service are not available on all routes.
Africa World Airlines flights do not offer a paid bar service so if you want to have to eat or drink during the flight you could bring your own food and drink if you get permission from the AWA crew.
Onboard entertainment
Because most AWA flights are short haul, there is no on-board entertainment service and you should take your own. A book, magazine, newspaper or something to watch or read on your mobile device may be some of the options. And if you don't feel like it, why not start a pleasant conversation with the person you have sitting next to you?
