"a Military officer told me my flight was cancelled due to
warfare raging in the western parts and that I could run for the border
or sleep here." (?)
What you can look forward to:
new building
bribery
lots of security
the dirtiest toilet in the world was spotted here

"On contrary to beforementioned I would say that Malabo
airport was in 02/2006 quite clean and big modern building with
the facilities for essential needs. It is quite new and it may
be that previous posters have been in old one. I did not sleep
there actually at night and I think they close the airport at
night because it seemed that they were opening it as we arrived
about 6.30 AM. In the main area, there was not possible to sleep
because of many people but in the trasition zone there was a
plenty of room and quite comfortable seats. We just had to spend
there about 6-7 hours waiting for the delayed flight to Bata,
mainland. There could be some hints of bribing - a tax that we
were asked (about 7USD) seemed quite odd, but we got bills and
everything. The precence of military and security is quite high.
One thing more - they do not have baggage x-rays or however they
are called (or to be more precise - they have but they don't use
it, maybe they don't know how ;) and all bags were opened and
looked through manually."
