Most, if not all, airlines are suspending service to Tripoli for the moment, how did the journalists get in? Just wondering if any airlines are still flying people in.

There is a very high volume cross border transportation on tunisian and egyptian borders.

I understand that -- I meant the journalist the "government" invited.

Christiane Amanpour got in on one of "the few" commercial flights from London into Tripoli.
At this point you can't simply go and just buy a ticket, you'd have to know somebody.

Buraq has confirmed to me that they are flying to Turkey regularly without any problem. I don't know for other destinations.
