    Lounge in LFW

             

    25.10.2023

    Pros: Clean

    Cons: Minimal

    Terminal: Terminal 1

    There is a single lounge airside (Lounge UNION, near Gate 4 going towards Gates 1-3), paid entry is $50USD and they don’t recognize Star Alliance status (we didn’t ask about any others). However, lounge gets crowded, aircon isn’t much better than main terminal. Airport overall is clean, efficient and minimal. Shops and food counters were open midday midweek.

    Arrogante douane

             

    02.07.2023

    Cons: Arrogant en net doen of ze geen Engels lullen

    Terminal: Internationale

    Arrogante douane. Gooit 100 jaar oude zippo weg. Zat gedemonteerd in mijn tas uit elkaar. I 2 tassen handbagage. Een erf stuk.
    Ineens praten ze geen Engels meer. 2 min daarvoor wel. En gooit hem weg onder mom aansteker.
    In 1 tas de huls 1 tas de vulling. Zelfs de. Vuurstenen er uit gehaald.
    Erfstuk van 100 jaar tussen de 1 euro aanstekers. Echt uitermate belachelijk. Zeker na deze voorbereiding.

    Integrity of the airport has been compromised

             

    06.07.2021

    Cons: The integrity of the airport has been compromised.

    Terminal: Departure Terminal

    My name is Prof Dung Pam Sha. I had a terrible experience on the 6th of July 2021. I travelled from Abuja to Banjul through Lome using ASKY Airline. Please check your security personnel who screen luggages. Not all of them are men of integrity. Men on one of the screening machines stole my money amounting to $3,750. I discovered this after arriving Banjul. Those personnel removed my money. This is the worse experience in my African your.

    Unexpected issues

             

    XX.XX.XX

    Pros: Clean small

    Cons: Over rated security, treated like idiots ,

    Security check and scan right at entrance. Beware of having booze in your luggage..they will take it or you will pay a bribe…more than the booze. Buy at taxfree instead.
    Check in earlier to avoid standing outside in street to enter the building.
    Two more checks and searches before boarding.
    No food and water. They take it.
    In general just looks friendly otherwise they will take the piss out of you.
    They can be provocative too…
    A realy clean airport with good shops and a cafe for coffee etc.
    The most irritating thing however is the fact that westeners/europas been treated or taken as idiots who knows nothing. If you can speak french…a bit better for you. Luckily its not for long but can be testing.
    Visas dont take very long…$35 but rather pay in XOF if you have it.
    Thats how they scoop the bucks. Its actualy 29us for 15000cfa.
