When I put thru an itin ex-KRT on the OneWorld RTW booking tool, and priced it out, then clicked on TAXES, to see the exact breakdown, there would be a "SDEM" tax of about $240 or so. It only appeared when I had itineraries that included Khartoum, so I'm just assuming. This is a Business class though
I think I'm giving up on KRT as a starting point, unless some political changes happen before my trip and they start handing out tourist visas to Americans willy-nilly. Not sure its worth the hassle to save the $1000 (with all those extra KRT costs) or so over flying from Amman. Would totally suck to try that 6-hour rule and not be allowed to disembark. Even if its the official rule, I think its a roll of the die what kind of officials you'll get at KRT.
