A few airport reviews from the archives
by ?
"I have flown in and out of Hosea Kutako (Windhoek International) Airport several times since 1998. It has improved considerably, not that it was bad before. It IS miles from everywhere, but it ISN'T in the desert (rather, the savannah). The airport is clean and quiet, except for the tourists.The regional airport in Windhoek (Eros) is also very good and recently renovated. "

"I am very pleased to announce Windhoek's airport as being the hottest damned place I have ever been to. Sleep may well be unthinkable, as you are entombed in a metal box without A/C. What brilliant chap came up with the idea of putting a metal shed in the middle of the Kalahari and calling it an airport? If you enjoy a sauna, this is it. Terminal odors feature the fun smells of African underarm and crack stink. Run away to the secured gates where the swamp cooler works and taxi hawkers are far away. This airport is a bloody hour from anything, save sand and rock. You would be mad to sleep here."
