Others airstrips nearby Mahbas...
You can get the UN airstrip a few kilometers west, along the track to Farsia, Tifariti and Smara. (27.4182267,0 N and 9.1684492 W ). This one is daily checked by UN MINURSO Peace Keepers Officers, used weekly by UN flights landing back or to Tindouf from Laayoune...
One another is close the Moroccan Forces' Brigade Command Post at Farsia (27°14' 41.83'' N and 09° 28' 28.92'' W)...
The whole North-Western area along the Moroccan "Berm" is a military one, over 30 km....
Take care, be safe !
Two Airstrips in Tifariti !
You can get the second airstrip nearby UN Teamsite,one kilometer South...
So UN one is checked everyday by Peace Keeping Officers in order to verify its status.
Moreover the MINURSO is paying in order to repare the strip after rains if necessary...
Bir Moghrein runway status... be cautious...
By 2004 the paved runway was always destroyed due the fights of the Sand War between Morocco and Polisario from 1975 to 1991...
So you had to use the airstrip after a previous look about its status by Mauritanian authority on ground...
Airstrips in desert are "often" covered by floods after rains : there are muddy during some weeks, and sometimes ravined...
Be cautious and secure... Keep saved !
Tarfaya Airport, souvenir, souvenir...
So, there was only an airstrip unpaved...
But more over Tarfaya was Cap Juby previously, and everybody is searching around "Le Petit Prince" and his fox depicted by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry during 1943.
Antoine was posted in Cap Cuy from end of 1927 to September 1929, and saved by bedouins in Libyan desert by 31 December 1935 after a crash...
Amsterdam Airfield
Can anyone give me information about this airfield please? Is it serviceable and is PPR? Any contact details would be appreciated. Mike
Jumping the line
After waiting in line for half a hour to check in and finally reaching the front, the check in official instructed all the passengers travelling to PE to move to the front. Although I was also traveling to PE, all the passengers from the back of the line rushed in front to jump the que. What a frustrating experience.
LADY GREY GOLF COURSE AIRSTRIP
Does anyone have more detail about this strip, e.g. length, surface etc?

re: SCAM or NOT? Continental logisticxs, Posting 2 emails wh
It's a scam. The birds don't exist, the shipper doesn't exist, and any money you sent is lost for good.
Horrendous wait, long queues.
What a place to waste your life. If you are in the mood for the most bureaucratic and lackadaisical service, this may be it! Perhaps SA should open up international tourism for bureaucratic incompetence and unintelligent planning.
Avgas?
Hello do you guys possibly sell small amounts of Avgas? I need to pass through there on Friday or Saturday with a helicopter.
re: Fuel Avaialble
Would it be at all possible for me to get 30 gallons of avgas at the end of April? I am flying a Cessna 172.

Its not a world wide airport as a result of the we can't get supportive information
Domestic departures toilets
These are disgustingly dirty the chairs were not pulled and the toilet bowls looked like the had not been cleaned in ages there was stale poo on the sides of the toilet bowls and it smelled digusting
Worst service ever
I've travelled to many international destinations, and travel to OT at least once a year. It has to be the worst service you expect on this planet. And even worse - the service is getting more pathetic every year. I do not mind the long flight to ZA, but the customs reception at OT is disgusting to say the least.
Limpopo Swartwater
Swart water Street air strip is full off potholes, the road leading to Swartwater up to 45 klm before Alldays are riddle with potholes !!!!!!!!
A Nice small place
Nice base, Polite soldiers.

Wish
I wish I could put my attitude towards the immigration department at OR Tambo in writing without being jailed. Read between the lines what I want to report.
ORTambo
Chaos to say the least. Worst service in decades. Down the drain with immigration department.
What a disaster
Paasport control must be the worst in the world, is this an image of our government ??? YES, typical Africa.. I suggest when the fat cats take overseas trips they go through the normal control to see the disaster. WAKE UP GOVERNMENT!!!
PRICES FOR AIRPLANE TICKETS
Hi would like to know how much it would be to fly from johannesburg to kathu thanks
Visa on arrival is slow
The good news is that you can get your tourist visa on arrival for USD 50 (cash; Americans have to pay USD 100). KLM handed out the application form on the inbound flight from Amsterdam.
The bad news is that it takes a long, long time—maybe 45 minutes. You line up to have you application reviewed, then line up to pay the cashier and hand over your passport, then wait (and wait, and wait) to have your name called, as they bring out small batches of passports every 5–10 minutes with the visa added. Then you line up for customs and immigration, and finally put your bags througj another x-ray machine before leaving the terminal.
Lots of checkpoints, but short lines
I lost count of the number of times I had to fill in forms and/or line up to have my passport and bags checked on departure, but on the bright side, none of the lines was long.
Extremely rude immigration staff
I was traveling to JHB OR Tambo from Abu Dhabi Etihad flight. Upon landing at JHB, I proceeded to the passport control hall. It was all full since some other flights had also arrived same time. I had to wait in line for almost 2 hours. Then when my turn came, I handed over my passport to the officer for stamping. The officer with his SHIT attitude said to me why didn't I greet him at first. I mean how does it make sense? I walked to the counter and handed over the passport. After waiting in line for 2 hours I may not be in a mood to greet him! And is it not his responsibility as well to greet people entering in his country? Total SHAME! That counter is actually the entry gate to the country and when you face such rude people you feel like never coming back to the country. Is this how you welcome guests into South Africa? Really?
Also while waiting in line there was no sitting arrangement, no water nothing! There was free Wi-Fi just for name sake. (which didn't work as expected).
Emigration counters JNB airport

— Anonymous Flyer at O.R. Tambo International Airport, South Africa
How on earth does the department of home affairs explain their DISMAL shortage of staff manning the emigration counters at what is supposed to be the country's main airport?
It's actually PATHETIC!
