Review the earlier posts in the thread for others experiences. Are you transiting from one carrier to another? if trying a turnaround with the same carrier that probably does not meet the requirements.

I did review the earlier posts. Not sure there is a definitive view so far so wanted to hear from those who have done it. I am flying in on TK from IST and taking RJ to Amman.
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/18338030-post160.html Your approach should be legal and appears similar to what Tauphi did when he successfully completed a twov at KRT to start a done4, from UAE to Jordan: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/17446023-post91.html kiwi flyer reported a unsatisfying attempt at a KRT transit in 2011: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/16582185-post31.html And that's the sum total of the reported experiences, iirc. |

Well, only two or three people have reported doing it. I think I'm leaning toward deepbluesky's approach of an airport entry permit through an in country agent:

I finally booked an AONE3 ticket starting in KRT in March next year. I am Austrian so getting a visa for Sudan should not be a problem. Fingers crossed:)
As recommended in this very helpful (and looong) thread I had it priced via the AA RTW desk and then ticketed via Naeem. Total cost CAD 4500 (3432 base fare +1070 Taxes). Sweet. As soon as I said "ticketing in Canada and start in KRT" the RTW desk lady said "you are from flyer talk, right?":D:D:D Also managed to get a price for a DONE4 itinerary (Eur-Asia-SEA-South America-Eur) without AA segments but Naeem was unable to claim it for some reason. Will try to buy it from Iberia - for some reason Iberia is never mentioned in the RTW ticketing discussion. Has anyone ever successfully booked an RTW ticket from them? I will keep you guys updated on the progress...! |
update on Khartoum connection
FlyDubai have confirmed that all they need to see to board their flight is a printout of the electronic ticket.
In London it is very easy to get a Sudanese visa. A simple 1 page form off their website for a "transit visa" and 2 photos+55 pds. I popped in today during their visa hours 9-12. The guy at the window couldnt understand why i was going to amman via khartoum. He said it looked very odd! I then showed him a printout from the planner tool showing all the places I am visiting. He asked me to come back at 1pm when the visa officer would decide. By 2 I had my visa. It says valid for 2 mths upto 2 months single entry. They did want to know where I would stay and wrote than on the visa under sponsor! |

You got a transit visa, right? What did you say for where you will stay? "Nowhere," "airport," "transit only?"

It sounds to me like a regular tourist visa.

But the post said transit visa, hence my question.
But my actual visa is valid for two months rather than ten days. Re staying - before returning at 1 I googled and found sensible reviews for Bougainvilla guest house. So i said I planned to stay there if they had space. Having gone to the trouble of getting a visa i want to spend a day or maybe two there rather than just transit to Amman. The other thing is that I might as well have the option of staying there a couple of days given I psid 55 pds for the visa. I didnt want them telling me I didnt need a visa etc given some of the concerns people have expressed. They were actually very friendly and a far cry from the jobsworths that often inhabit embassies. I have been to some in my time! |

If I look at AONE4 ex-KRT fare in ExpertFlyer, it shows the base fare to be 4621 USD. I just created a simple itinerary in OW tool, KRT-AMM-LHR-JFK-SFO-xLAX-SYD-HKG-xBKK-AMM, and it shows this:
http://cl.ly/image/0D4233290C2a/Scre...29.38%20AM.png What am I missing? Just wondering if you got any resolution to this pricing problem? I am having the same problem with pricing a DONE4 which should be US$3330 ex-KRT according to EF, but the OW online tool is quoting US$8457 + taxes. I have emailed OW support but no reply so far. Happy Travels. |
