3 days / 2017

Fly Dubai is the only choice to fly to Asmara, Eritrea capital from Dubai. Once they refused me to get on board because I was alone. I found someone who became my attendant among the same flight passengers. One Eritrea lady became my attendant. Of course we did not know each other before. Fly Dubai also forced me to pack my wheelchair by clear wrap sheet. It cost 25 Dinar = 7 US$. No borading bridge at Dubai airport terminal 2. Fly Dubai was not kind for wheelchair passengers. They did not allow passengers who cannot walk to use airplane alone. This is discrimination. Anyway wheelchair users had better not use Fly Dubai.

Arrive at Asmara airport. No bridge, no cabin chair, no lift car. Airport staff carried me down. Thanks.

All Eritrean passengers brought a lot of luggage max 30kg from Dubai. Many also buy beers, tobacco, oils, margarine and hard liquor at duty free shop before going out of the airport. Not so many products in Eritrea isolated long term in the world.

My attendant also helped me to find my hotel in Asmara by her husband car. We found a nice hotel as 4th visit. So lucky to see a kind Eritrean.
