Afriqiyah to/from Gatwick always worked for us. 2 adults, 1 child, 113Kg between us

Think of the sausages, bacon and beer kits

also near enough same timing as BA . BMI "raped" us over overwieght bags when we went to Mallorca withthem . We'd paid extra to take bikes then tehy charged us for the bikes being overwieght bastads!

Afriqiyah have the most generous luggage allowances I've seen.
Good food too.

... But dry as a bone

BA Return (TIP-LHR-TIP) LYD405. Beat that BMI

If you're trying to fly in and out Sunday/Thursday - buy a one-way to Tripoli, and then buy your tickets here. Go to BA.COM and select your country as Libya. Then make the booking (you can't pay online). All you need to do is go to the BA office downtown (or at the airport) to pay (within 72 hours).

Works for me

Does anybody do Tripoli to Manchester direct?

I have heard Libyan Airlines do a direct flight and others too.

At the moment I do KLM via a 2 hour wait in Schipol.

Staff in my office have used Libyan Airlines, it's a lottery. If you get a new plane you're laughing, if you get an older plane, well at least you're not paying alot for the ticket.

About 4 direct flights a week Tripoli - Manchester. Leaves Tripoli around 8am. We would have used them had it not been for Ariqiyah's massive baggage allowance.

At the moment, it is only Libyan Airlines, they have 5 flights a week TIP-MAN-TIP.

Last month I paid about 550 LYD and it still can get cheaper during winter season.

Thanks for the info guys, very helpful

Baggage allowance is not a problem for me, I just want a direct flight for future refs, for the odd long weekend back home.

KLM was 640 LYD last time, but you do get to spend a couple of hours or so in the Irish bar in Amsterdam though
