Voice of Travelers to Angola
Egyptair Delivers
I have heard many stories about Angola, especially in Luanda where living is so costly. It was painful trying to secure a visa to visit Angola which took months to obtain. I bought an Egyptair ticket for my trip to Angola. I was having jitters and was very nervous but the flight crew made sure I had the best flight experience. We arrived in Angola safe and sound. I made sure that my return ticket was with Egyptair. And whenever I go for trips abroad, not only to Angola, I always make it a point to get my ticket from Egyptair.
Kindness in Luanda
I lost my return ticket somewhere in Luanda. I was upset over the lost ticket and was thinking what can I do to get back my ticket. All I could think about was my lost ticket and the cost it would entail to purchase another ticket. I have heard negative comments about the peace and order in Angola hence I was a bit hesitant to buy a ticket for this trip. I decided to travel with Kenyan Airlines. My one-way ticket to Angola was not so bad at all. I was so anxious to travel to the hotel alone but the taxi driver was friendly and offered to purchase a return ticket for me.
Angola is Not What I Expected
I have purchased a ticket to travel to Angola. I was not really keen on going to this part of the world because I've heard some negative comments about Angola. My travel agency briefed me on what to expect when I arrived there. Of course, there are some unfriendly faces who "welcomed" me, but good people also exist in Angola. Friendly people showed me the ins and outs of Angola. Your visit is really an adventure so enjoy every minute before you line up to purchase a return ticket.
