Worth knowing about Lokossa
- Flying in via Togo means landing at Gnassingbé Eyadéma International Airport in Lomé, a hub for ASKY Airlines and Ethiopian Airlines, whose current terminal opened in early 2016 with room for two million passengers a year.
- Lokossa is the capital of Mono Department, and the Mono River forms much of Benin's border with Togo, so an approach from Lomé crosses that frontier.
- Coming in overland from Togo does not change the paperwork: most visitors need a Benin e-Visa granted before arrival, African Union citizens excepted, and processing can take up to 96 hours.
