Jliles. Thanks for the insight from the perspective of someone travelling in their leisure time. We do have some people on the board who travel in and out of there for work on a reguar basis, who might offer some additional pointers about the whys and wherefores that might have instigated these behaviours. (I am assuming that you were already informed about your eligibility to leave the airport when in transit - on a quick look it looks like a visit visa is necessary if you are leaving the airport?)
