AIR: The main airlines to serve The Gambia are Ghana Airways, Air Senegal and Nigeria Airways.
Approximate flight times: From Banjul to London is approximately 5 hours 30 minutes (direct).
International airports: Banjul (BJL) (Yundum International) is 20km (11 miles) southwest of the city. Taxis are available to the city (travel time – approximately 30 minutes). During 1989, NASA upgraded airport facilities to enable it to serve as an emergency space-shuttle landing site. Airport facilities include banks/bureaux de change, bars, restaurants, duty-free shops, post office and car hire (Hertz).
Departure tax: D150.
Tourist tax: As of 1 November 2002, a tourist tax has been introduced for all tourists arriving at Banjul International Airport, no matter from which country. Travellers can pay in Euros (€10), Sterling (£5) or US Dollars (US$10).
RIVER: Ferries operate services between Banjul and Dakar or Ziguinchor (Senegal). This tends to be a more efficient form of travel than overland.
ROAD: Taxis can be hired between Dakar (Senegal) and Barra.
