[WSIS CS-Plenary] TRANSIT VISA AND CONNECTION PROBLEMS

[me at gbengasesan.com]

Please note that Afriqiyah leaves Lagos for Tunis on the 14th (0045 and 
check-in
is 13th at 7pm), with arrival in Tunis on the same day (14th).

Though I've already left Lagos, you may contact Mrs. Sherifat Faniyi (0803 304
18 48, 01 721 48 52, 775 44 19) for your seats on the flight.

Best regards,

> Dear Freinds,
> I dont know if any one of you is having the same
> problem we are facing currently to be in Tunisia for
> both the Prep Com 3 and the main summit.
> We are based in Nigeria, and there is no direct flight
> from Nigeria to Tunis, neither does the Tunis airline
> operate the Nigerian route. The only flight to Tunis
> from Nigeria are Lufthnasa, Air France, Cameroun
> Airline,  Afriqueair(Libya), and Ethopia.
> Apart from the African Airlines, you need a transit to
> use the European airlines.
> All the airlines operates connecting flights on at
> least twice a week basis.
> We were unable to get booking in any of the arilines
> to be in Tunis by 12th Novemeber, except Lufthansa,
> and our Transit visa application submitted to the
> German Embassy and my ticket issued and was ready to
> leave tonite 11th for Franfurt enroute Tunis.
> Just three hours before our check -in, the German
> embassy refused our aplications. We lost the visa
> fees, and service charge is going to be charged for
> the ticket already issued at least 20% and other
> sundry charges from a ticket that cost 2,126
> dollars!!!.
> Right now, I am making frantic efforts to secure
> booking in any other Africn airline, and ONLY one
> readilly available is Egypt air that will leave 14TH
> and will arrive 05.am 15th, connect by 7pm 15th and
> arrive TUBIS 05am 16th!!!!!!
> Perhaps, we should have considered all these factors
> for countries without direct flihghts to and from
> Tunisia.
> Well, we shall definitely be there irrespective of the
> difficulties we are facing right now.
> Bon vouyage till we meet few days from now.
> But while Transit countries should make things
> difficult for participants is another angle worth
> looking into.
