DILI, East Timor

"though it isn't the best airport on the planet, one must remember this is a very very poor county that lost nearly everything in 1999 after their vote for independence." (?)

What you can look forward to:

  • main lobby: no air-conditioning, a bar
  • boarding area: air-conditioning, but nothing to do

"The Dili airport is probably not your average airport, I mean come on. It's in the world's newest country. It can be great or horrible depending on the time. Mornings are usually OK, the coffee shop outside is opes and there aren't too many Timorese standing around. In the afternoons, sometimes the coffee shop isn't open, (depending on the mood of the staff) and there are a few more people around because no-one is crazy enough to wake up for the early flight from Darwin! Inside the airport, the security is.. shall we say lax... and the x-ray machines are usually not working, so there are national police checking luggage except, of course, if you have the luck of possessing a diplomatic passport. When you get to the departures lounge, there is a shop selling tais and a few souvenirs. But now there is a duty free!!!!!!!!!Which sells alcohol, jewellery and sometimes some electronics. Even if this airport isn't going to win the golden pillow, I think it deserves some mention in terms of development and effort. This isn't an airport you are likely to be transiting through, only two airlines fly out and to two destinations only, but if you do get the chance to visit East Timor, take it because it might not be the best, but it isn't like anything else you've ever seen!!"
