Worth knowing about Conakry
- The airport is at Gbessia and the way in is the Autoroute Fidel Castro, the single artery along a long thin peninsula, which is why a delayed arrival turns into a long transfer.
- The FCDO is direct about night arrivals in Conakry: if your flight lands after dark, arrange the airport transfer before you travel rather than at the kerb.
