TUNIS CARTHAGE AIRPORT review : 30 October 2008 : by Guy Senior

Customer Rating : n/a

I flew in and out recently and was impressed. Very few queues either at security or immigration. Contrary to older reports, it is also now possible to spend Tunisian Dinar in the Departure Lounge. CIP Lounge a bit crowded but OK. Beware of both taxi touts and baggage handlers. It should be no more than 10 TD to the city centre.

Quite fun. Needed visa on arrival, which could only be bought with Tunisian currency. Tunisian currency not available outside Tunisia. However immigration official trustingly let one of our party through immigration to go out into the arrivals hall to acquire some.

No real delays in either direction at passports, security etc. Baggage handling OK. AFR/AZA/DLH check-in in light airy extension to the slightly gloomy departure hall. Cafe Ritazza is the main attraction of this hall with good food and drink selection but uncontrolled, selfish, oblivious smoking. I can't really figure out how you would pay for food airside as you are not allowed to export Dinars and you are supposed to change them landside. However, I was in the very comfy Business lounge. A word of caution; you are likely to be guided by several pairs of hands to a taxi on arrival. They seemed above board but it was a bit overwhelming.

The airport has improved a lot since I was in it many years ago. Generally, a very nice friendly airport. Staff at check-ins, cambios, news agents very friendly. Only draw back is passport control which can be very slow. Cafe airside is expensive for Tunis. Airport is air-conditioned. Taxis are not expensive, but then the airport is not very far from the centre. Looked for the airport bus, but couldn't find it or get information, so took a taxi to the centre, cheap by many standards. Overall, a very attractive airport.

This is quite a good airport overall. There are some good shops and cafés, and it is only 10 minutes from the Tunis city centre. The downsides are the passport control people on arrival who were completely non-smiling, unfriendly types! Additionally, I thought the check-in area for foreign airlines was a little small considering the number of passengers that were present when I was there.
