Voice of Travelers to Ouagadougou
Pierre from France
Hi, I'm Pierre and I live in Paris. My visit to Ouagadougou was my first time in Africa. What a fascinating place. Every Friday morning at 7:15am the Moro Naaba Ceremony takes place in Ouagadougou, commemorating a historic Mossi battle. We found this very interesting to witness. I went to Ouagadougou with my best friend, but we booked our tickets individually. We bought our tickets with AirFrance from Paris. When we arrived at the airport we showed our Ouagadougou tickets to the gentleman at the check in and he was able to find us seats together. This made us very happy. The flight itself was very good too. Onboard entertainment was great. I relaxed during the flight by listening to my favourite artists on Air France's onboard music channel.
Cyril from Ghana.
Hello, I'm Cyril from Accra. A few months ago I flew to Ouagadougou for few weeks. I really enjoyed my time in Ouagadougou. I love cinema and movies and I wanted to go to FESPACO, a Pan-African film festival held in Ouagadougou every two years in February. I booked my air ticket to Ouagadougou with Air Burkina. I am glad I decided to fly with Air Burkina, as my flight was very comfortable. The stewardesses and the stewards were friendly and I enjoyed the meal on board. The ticket booking process was simple, I did it over the phone. The lady on the phone told me if I needed to make any changes to my ticket booking or if I wanted to cancel my air ticket I could do all this over the phone too.
