Aboard Air Bissau, from Guinea-Bissau to Cape Verde
In the 1990s when we lived in Guinea-Bissau, we decided to take a trip with Air Bissau from Guinea-Bissau to Cape Verde. Our ticket agent suggested we buy a single ticket and return on a cruise ship. We had never flown with an African airline, so flying aboard Air Bissau was quite an experience. When we purchased the ticket, we asked to sit by the window, and this was granted. Guinea-Bissau is a small country and we could see it all from the air. Once in Cape Verde, we bought the cruise ship ticket to return to Guinea-Bissau. The trip to Guinea-Bissau took several days, but all service was included in the price of the ticket, so we did not mind.
Our trip to Guinea-Bissau
We took part in a Voluntary Teaching Program in Guinea-Bissau. The organization was called Hope for Guinea-Bissau and it took care of a return ticket and accommodation, as well as a visa to Guinea-Bissau for a year. We flew to Guinea-Bissau with TAP from Lisbon and the airline delivered great service. Our accommodation was quite good too. After we landed in Guinea-Bissau, the organization representative took us to Guinea-Bissau's capital. We eventually changed the original return ticket from Guinea-Bissau to an onward ticket through Morocco. On our way back from Guinea-Bissau, we therefore stopped in Casablanca for a few nights. For this reason, we contacted a Moroccan ticket agency which issued us the ticket with Air Maroc. The flight out of Guinea-Bissau was a pleasant one as was our whole African experience.
