Crew was fine but the plane seemed smaller like the seats were very crammed in for an international flight. I’m a small person and it felt suffocating to me.

FAQs about flying to Asmara

If you would like to fly from the U.S. to Asmara, which is the capital city of Eritrea in Africa, you will need to have a valid U.S. passport that isn’t set to expire within the next six months. You will also need to look into securing a visa for your trip to Asmara. You can get your hands on a visa for your trip by contacting the Embassy of the State of Eritrea in Washington, D.C. Outside of securing a passport and visa, you will also need to arrange to be vaccinated against yellow fever before taking the trek to Asmara, and you will have to prepare to declare any items worth more than $10,000 that you might want to take with you when visiting Eritrea.

When you want to make your way from the U.S. to Asmara, you will be able to depart from any number of airports, including Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), Denver International Airport (DEN), and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW). But the shortest flights to Asmara and the ones that include the fewest stops between the U.S. and the African city tend to leave from the East Coast. There are flights from Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) to Asmara International Airport (ASM), for example, that are available through airlines like Ethiopian Airlines and EgyptAir that will make just one stop at airports like Bole Addis Ababa International Airport (ADD) and Cairo International Airport (CAI). They’ll get you from the U.S. to Asmara in as little as 17 hours.

The simplest way to get around once you arrive in Asmara will be by renting a car at Asmara International Airport. Avis, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and Hertz are just a few of the rental car agencies with locations in Asmara. But if you’d like to embrace the local culture from the second you touch down in Asmara, you might also want to explore the idea of getting around by taking public buses or even jumping on the back of a camel. Camelback is one of the many methods of transportation used within Asmara and many of the smaller neighboring towns.
