Ok guys, I'm about to pull the trigger on a DONE4 ex-KRT...

So, routing and ticketing aside, I have a couple of KRT logistics questions. I appreciate that some of this may have been touched on earlier (I have read literally every post in this thread, and more), however as a few FTers have now been through KRT there are hopefully some further insights to be had...

1. I understand the "6 hour rule", and the need to be departing from KRT to a destination that you did not arrive from. Thankfully I've found a flight from DXB on FlyDubai that provides a 5.5 hour transit. Does anyone have any idea as to the sort of "facilities" available between 12am and 5:30am? (some of the KRT reviews on the internet refer to the old airport, not the new intl' terminal)

2. I will have checked luggage with me - will there be any issues? No idea what the process will be re: collecting luggage and re-checking it in.

3. What happens if for whatever reason I miss the first leg of my DONE4 from KRT? (e.g. my flight DXB-KRT is cancelled or delayed, they don't let me into the country (Sudan) for whatever reason, etc. etc.). Assume this becomes a travel insurance issue, and providing my bookings met all of the relevant requirements I'll be fine?

4. I'm considering purchasing an "Airport Entry Permit" as a bit of an insurance policy, that way I can obtain a VoA if needed. Thoughts?
