Other Middle East and Africa Frequent Flyer Programs - Ariana or other Afghan airlines

Wondering if anyone out there has flown into Kabul commercially?

I have to go on business and am curious about reviews of Ariana or the other Afghan airline. I can fly through Dubai or Baku via LHR on BA. Which is better, what should I expect, will be flying in business class, as the name implies, I don't fit in coach...

Any thoughts, other than the obvious about being dumb for going there

Just do some search and you'll always find that a fellow flyertalker has done it before. Two links: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=181434&highlight=Ariana and www.flyariana.com

BIG,

I don't know who you work for, but you might want to know that the US Government doesn't allow its people on Ariana for safety reasons.

You might want to look into Azerbaijan Airlines from Baku.
