On another note: has anybody actually flown with the new airline? Not seen a single post / review so far.

SE.

My info from local expats is that Malagaskyraya (is frequently cancelling flights if they not fully booked. They only have 2 small planes with 30 seats but due to the same prices as Mad Air, they can't fill it up.

Their main business are exclusive flights for the few "businessmen" (rosewood trader, gem dealers, chinese miners.) and charter flights for groups to Ile St Marie, where they apparently have shares in a lux hotel.

Perhaps I am missing something. That post says what ME did, or tried to do which was flying on the new airline and rejecting it then using taxi brousse. That could happen to anyone. Am I to take it that you operate in the same manner? Just wondering.

You are correct. They don't read.

TDJ, it seems you move around quite a bit, especially between Tamatave and Tulear. Just wondering if this is all by taxi brousse, flying, or a combination of both?

It has been a year and a half by now and I still miss my days in Mada.

Neither before nor after I have ever been in a place where all the chicks would fuck or suck you if you just asked them for it. I should have exploited that a lot more.

Those days.

For technical reasons (resizing etc.) I can join pics to post only from home.

Here below the second wild Bush girl who occupied my morning.

No post on it, but I "used" her a second time for my last night.

Easy going girl, very eager to be called to bed session.

In fact she was too pro for my taste, even if recent in the business.

30 K.

I was there on 4 January: AVA. In fact a simple tropical storm was expected. So no special preparation by inhabitants. According to residents, the strongest typhoon on Tamatave since 10 years (even if weaker than ENAWO on 5 March 2017 in Antalaha. Thanks for infos Madaexpert). Main consequence: no electricity (3 days in the center of the city. Weeks in remote area) . No wifi connexion at least 10 days or more (I left). The most resilient place has been restaurant La Terrasse, feeding its electro group working all day. When most restaurants were closed at least 4 days. Always good food at reasonable price at La terrasse. Useless to say always full. But good marketing action by the way.

ME, looks like you left Tamatave just in time.

After two weeks of waiting in Tamatave I finally arrive to sambava and stayed one night in Villa scheridanne, then 5 K TB to Anthalaha for 1.5 H trip.

I am planning to stay here a month as my room at hotel Vitasoa is only 35 K per night. Yes Mr TigeDeJade Antalaha is fully recover from the typhoon. Electricity works fine! No WIFI in any of the Hotels below 80 K but no problem as Telma shop in the middle of the town has new Data bundle. 4 G.

Big changes in Sambava but Anthala is the same little town as before. So let see what happen.

Nowhere to sit as the places is completely commercialized (read: all real estate is cafes and shops and restaurants) so if you want to take a load off you must buy something. It is a good price and if I were you I would try to get a hotel for 6 hours on siteSE.

Istanbul airport has the best first class lounge — in the world! Many times we've been there. 10+ hour layover — no problem. Note they are also letting in non-members now for a fee so hopefully the lounge doesn't get overrun. (For transiting IST, they try to get you to pay a visa even of you are travelling onward same day.) Ethiopian and Bole (worst airport lounges) — avoid unless you have no checked luggage as they are thieves.

Hi all.

Turkish Airlines has some great deals from San Francisco to Antananarivo for the fall. $1,250 US round trip! 13 hour flight tSFO to Ankara, 8 hour layover then another 13 hour flight from Turkey to Mada. Shit, its a long way but I need to scratch Mada off my bucket list. Any thoughts of Turkish Airways?

No wonder, because they don't get much passengers these days into their country. Who knows what happens in fall.

Unquote.

For that price of 1100 $ you get Ethiopian and others also.

I flew them a year ago to London via Istanbul. They were not great and not bad, somewhere in between but I can't recall any issues that would make me not take them again except the unbelievably busy airport! 3 am and the plus was bustling like most airports at 3 pm. Nowhere to sit as the places is completely commercialized (read: all real estate is cafes and shops and restaurants) so if you want to take a load off you must buy something.

It is a good price and if I were you I would try to get a hotel for 6 hours on site and start to get over the jet lag as you will be in or near the same time zone as Mada. Good luck and let us know how your journey goes.

While I was coming back to hotel Anjara I saw a lady talking to the receptionist that she is looking for customers. The receptionist told me if I am looking for a massage so I asked directly the girl for her phone number and she said I will get it in the reception for in room massage. Obviously the girl she is a freelancer using the hotel to get customers. She look nice slim around 26 years.

If you stay in Anjara you can ask the daytime receptionist lady for the number.
