"Fortunately we did not have to sleep in the Kinshasa
airport, but for awhile it looked like we might have to consider
it. Even though we had reconfirmed our seats three days prior to
the flight, upon getting to the airport we were told that yes,
we had confirmed the flight, but not the seats. Apparently that
is two completely separate things. It took an hour of arguing to
get us on the plane. Once getting past the gate our
carry-on bags were searched twice, and the immigration officials
and the security people requested a "gift." The
checked baggage was left on the tarmac for people to claim and
then direct to the correct plane."
