  • The only airport you can fly to in the Gambia is Banjul Yundum International airport (BJL). The airport is inland, but the capital city of Banjul is at the mouth of the River Gambie, on the west bank. The airport is in the city of Yundum, which is about an hour's drive from Banjul.
  • The best way to get around the Gambia is to rent a car for the duration of your stay. There are several bus routes around the country, however, these tend to be confusing to navigate for tourists. Cars are allowed on the ferries which you can catch from Banjul to other parts of the country.
  • Banjul Yundum International airport mainly serves Banjul, the Gambia's capital, however other cities in the Gambia are also close by. These cities include Brikama, Serekunda, Essau, and Bakau.

Airline reviews

The local Turkish Airlines staff in Helsinki isn’t not aware of immigration laws of Singapore and wanted to refuse even our first boarding and threatened us with deportation on our own from Singapore. We had the next connection to Istanbul and then Singapore. The airline’s online check in system is requesting the visa to download and doesn’t have any option for 96 hrs VFTF passengers. So in general we made the complaint to the airline, as the boarding experience was awful due to unprofessional staff that doesn’t check or want to check the exceptions in the global system.

Good overall. Seat spacing a bit tight between IST and ISB.

They have adopted a crazy "no paper boarding passes at all cost policy". We spent half an our at the checkin stall – my elderly mother and her grandchildren were flying. She had no phone reception for some reason (besides being an inexperienced smartphone user), the kids had dumbphones, And they still won't issue a paper boarding pass. We had to do a lengthy dance with getting the boarding pass SMS on my phone and transferring them to her phone via WiFi. This was horrible, honestly. I can't imagine how they could manage it without me being there. Trees (and airline profits) should be less important than people.

Went great, they even reopened the gate for me when I arrived late.

The crew is not focused on the guests but on their task!! No extra service. No business class amenities provided. A crew is not friendly if you ask for something extra, like tea. It takes 30 minutes, and you have to go them 3 reminders. Lack of friendliness, less but more of let me finish and go back to their group and Talk. Like a passenger is in on there way. So get your I gave you food just shut up

I had issue with my boarding pass. When I arrived in London Gatwick Airport. My e-ticket wasn't scanning and had to do a lot of back and forth with Air Transit I order to board my flight, which I almost missed as a result of this.

Space between seats is challenging but otherwise excellent service in every way.

The crew was not professional enough for that time. Multimedia connection had a problem frequently

The flight from Istanbul to Karachi was an old plane in which the seats don’t even come close to lying flat. It was uncomfortable - may as well have been economy, and a far cry from Qatar Airways that I’m used to. The food was mediocre and entertainment couldn’t even be used because there was zero privacy like in a normal business class, so it would feel as though everyone is watching the movie with you - which is awkward. I had to put my food tray out as a leg stopper to get into some sort of comfortable position to curl up and sleep, which is ridiculous. Unacceptable given the ticket still has a business class price tag.

My experience with Turkish Airlines was good. I didn’t get the meal I ordered. So I didn’t have anything to eat which was disappointing.

Basic service for the basic price. Efficient and cost effective, so ticked all the right boxes.

Not constantly changing the price DURING a booking. Felt like bait and switch.

All very smooth airside. Check-in counters were understaffed. The wait is too long. Only two, then three counters were open. Waiting time of 35 minutes is too long. Pls review your rota.

To complex. So many types of fare. This made the boarding a caos.

Needs faster boarding procedure. Not their fault but should still take into account indifferent flyers.

Very fast boarding. Crew members were super nice. I loved it!

My luggage got lost and until today there is no solution to the problem. It's still missing

I am writing to demand an immediate refund and compensation for the absolutely unacceptable experience I endured with VUELING this week. On Monday, my flight was canceled, and despite this, I have yet to receive any refund. I was then taken to a hotel in a terrible location, where no food or even water was provided. The next day, I was rebooked on another flight, for which I had to personally cover an additional €50 in transportation costs—only to have that flight canceled as well. After waiting 10 hours, only 10 of us were offered alternative accommodations, while the rest were left stranded. We were forced to remain in this situation until Thursday without a single explanation or proper assistance. During this entire ordeal, we were only provided with breakfast and dinner, while being charged extra for drinks. This level of treatment is completely unacceptable. I expect an immediate refund for the cancelled flights and full compensation for the inconvenience, additional expenses, and the significant distress caused.

Only food for sale. Did not even offer water. No entertainment

Checking was efficient and quick. Adequate luggage space. Food for purchase only at high prices

Kayak let me choose these flights on TAP but then after 2 months, cancelled my flights because they didn't think 90 minutes was enough time for the connection. I notice that neither flight was actually cancelled. Just my reservation. Why let me go through all of that effort to find the right flights for us, only to cancel it from underneath us 2 months later leaving us scrambling to find an alternative?

Absolutely unacceptable level of service for a Business class: lousy drink and food options, disgusting food (inedible meat, watery rice, etc...), pathetic level of attentiveness from staff, Business class restrooms were not accessible for long periods because blocked of by staff...overall extremely disappointing, will NEVER fly Business on TAP again.

The plane was small and one felt the turbulence much more. The lines to get through immigration were insanely long.

Delayed departure Madrid to Lisboa and my luggage no arrived

Late. Lack of updates. Rude hostesses. Terrible food. Lack of headphones.

Flew Business class and did not like anything, flight attendants were rude and not helpful. Food was of poor quality and I did not eat meals.

I like the price. I dislike the website where I wanted to ask questions about the unusual high prices of the luggage fees. I called the toll free number from the United States and I cannot get through. You should test your own toll free website for info and you will know what I am writing about.

Very long line at the gate, moved slowly. I had expected that boarding a flagship A330neo would be with a jetway directly at the gate, and not a long bus ride to the airplane.

The layover was only one hour and a huge line for passport control. If I didn’t cut the line and argue was every single official, I would’ve spent the night in this one. Obviously.TAP AIR people. do not take into account.this problem with their flight scheduling, which is extremely frustrating. Poor food choices, on the pasta was offered, they ran out of chicken right away. All the sodas and water poured in a tiny 70 mL cups, which is not enough to keep hydrated on the long flight. I had to ask for 34 cups at a time. Flight attendant seemed to be tired and overworked.

TAP‘s flight attendants seem to be among the least ambitious of all the international flight crews we’ve flown with. . When we left US and went to Portugal, and when we returned from Portugal, flight attendants were not very visible. Then did not offer frequent water breaks and when we had to go back to request water, I was almost an imposition. Meal quality was just average. The dinners were fine. Breakfast wraps were presented soggy.

Horrible. Flight was overbooked and I was put on a flight to Miami without a leg to my final destination. And Kayak is not helping resolve the problem

I would like to praise one of the stewards, Mohamed, who was swift and efficient to help me as I was not feeling well at some point during the flight.

Food quality was low for business class. No snacks between meals. Very confusing “One World” participation. This airline seems to be part of the program but doesn’t recognize the benefits to customers (luggage allowance)???

Cancellation was really bad no organizations at all and I want to choose a direct flight for the 18 January counter agent does not allowed me no even to speak was rude I was forced to got a third world country flight

There is nothing Royal about Royal Air Maroc. Old planes, poor service, no entertainment and everyone of my 4 flights was late.

There is nothing Royal about Royal Air Maroc. Old planes, poor service, no entertainment and not one of my 4 flights was on time.

Good! except for the in-flight announcement which was very poor. The flight attendant was inaudible with her english language throughout the flight. Her communication was bad, very bad. I could not fantom what she was saying in english and she was very fast you could hardly hear or understand what she was communicating. She needs to improve. Thx

I had pre booked gluten free as a meal preference. Nothing of that was considered during my flight. The attendant said he had no idea and would check but never returned with a response. I did not eat anything that flight and was super hungry

Stay away at all cost! Late boarding, late departure, inoperable seat controls and entertainment screens, very rude cabin crew,

The flight itself was fine. The flight was delayed for nearly 10 hours and there was inconsistent communication about why it was delayed.

Missed slot to leave so we were on the plane for an extra hour. The seats were really uncomfortable and the food was poor. The experience makes me think twice about flying as I suspect they are all similar.

Fine, charter flights. Plane full, and staff nice and friendly. No option for free food or drink. Entertainment through paid app.

The 737-8 is too small for the length of flight especially if there are any delays

The flight was delayed over 2 hours, we should off left the plane2 late passengers as it’s not fair on everyone who’s followed the rules.

Dreamliner. Yes great if maintained. I didn't see anyones screen work consistently during either of our flights. Worse was their ability to not only dump you out of premium but separate couples and seat someone's carer at the opposite end of the aircraft. This poor gentleman had no hand so his partner who assists him, being seated at the other end of the aircraft, well that really showed us all what Tui think :( It was fairly dire all in all, they advertise all the perks of the dreamliner only in reality you don't have the features and they change the windows and colours to suit their constant sales pitches. Ironically they were so low on stock for the return flight that all their sales pitches were a waste of time! Their contract only favours them and 'operational changes' well they cover every excuse and Tui use it. Surprisingly we haven't reinstalled the Tui app or booked with them since. It's a shame as I rated them highly during the pandemic.

One flight attendant not wearing a mask over nose, 50% of passengers not either, and no effort to correct. Boarding was very late with no information - lots of standing around waiting.
