AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Confirm your flight the day before, as schedules at this small airstrip can shift with little notice.
Arrive early since there is only one check-in counter and staff handle passengers manually.
Bring cash, as there are no real dining, lounge, or banking facilities for a wait between flights.
If connecting to an international itinerary, expect to route through Antananarivo (TNR) rather than expecting any international service here.
Keep your baggage claim tag handy, as bags are often handled informally on the open tarmac.
