Kinshasa Airport customer review

I think the best way to describe N'Djili is the approach to the airport in car or van. It sets the stage better than anything else. As you drive up what seems like hundreds of men come out of no where and descend on your car. They start jumping on the hood holding on to your doors or fenders or anything they can get hold of. Some of them want to be paid to carry your bags. Others want the opportunity to find anything no locked glued sealed with duck tape bolted down or secured by an armed guard. The entrance is just as much chaos. You walk to the terminal and there are people standing outside the terminal who want to help you through immigration or carry your bags. Do not give your passport to someone who promises to help. Have him take you. Go with him. But do not hand over your passport.

This is what West Africa is all about. If folks do not gain that sort of knowledge before start working in West Africa they should stay home. I have been all up and down the coast since early 1980 and have seen things I do not even want to write about. But that is what it is. Live with it. Brace yourself Do not stand out Do not be smart and blend in - you will cruise through.

I endorse what David de Beer wrote. I'd add that just before our flight departed a troop of armed soldiers strode menacingly down the aisle of the plane entering at front and exiting out the back of the plane. We'd been forewarned not to look at the in the eye.

Kinshasa Airport customer review

This is by far the worst airport in the world. Be very sure that you will be hassled by everybody from immigration to airport security. Everybody will demand a bribe or be sure to have enough troubles coming your way. Checkin is a total joke with absolutely NO queues or rules it is orginized choas. Do not go there unless you have a contact to help you clear all the corrupt officials.
