Sleeping in Airports

Airport Adventures: Sana’a Airport

by a traveller

Don’t leave the airport without a known reliable contact – a worse fate lies outside!

“Don’t go to Sanaa, Yemen!

The airport is crawling with strange military types in a variety of uniforms – all carrying Kalashmakov Rifles or Uzzi-type weapons – none of whom know any foreign languages – and to whom all white faces are alike. And ubiquitously pointing these weapons at all passengers regardless. Why?

Bleak, scary, stark, semi-clean, uncomfortable bucket & hard-chair seats, dark & semi-clean bathrooms, no amenities, poor flight announcement system (you could sit there forever!).
The country is the Islamic kidnapping capital of the world! Don’t leave the airport without a known reliable contact – a worse fate lies outside!

Lufthansa lost my luggage on the incoming flight! And it turned up in Denver 5 months later via United Airlines! Figure that one out! Only a few trousers stolen out of one suitcase. Not going back.”
