That's already closer to Diego.
Strangely this flight can't be found on the website of Air Mad.
Don't forget to check for your flight a few days ahead.
Air Mad tends to change the hours of their flights without notice.
I almost missed my flight MJN-TNR because Air Mad moved up the departure time by 6 hours.

Ticket prices bought in the local AirMad office are about 10 to 20% cheaper then the internet-prices in $. And if a seat is not available in eco class, simply opt for business class. Its only a meagre price difference.
Tamatave-Tana I would not take a flight. This is the most easy Cotisse route.

In a minibus it's around 24 hours. I've done it twice and each time we left around 2 pm although there may be others. The drivers had music blaring every second of the journey.

Posts: 538Doc16: short answer is buying flights in Mada is usually about 20% cheaper. You must decide I you are willing too miss available flights by not booking beforehand. There are not Ambanja-Diego Cotisse minivans.
NME: you never indicated that there WAS a possibility to bribe someone at Ivato to make your problem go away. All you said was "certain countries" are no longer eligible and you were now dealing with a mess. We aren't mind readers. You still haven't said what country yours is, and whether the new list of countries is long or short.

For using expeditors, I became a believer when I wanted to get visa to take a Malagasy girl on safari and subsequently to Thailand. In both instances, at the Consulates in Tana, the application was impossible for an applicant that had no job, funds, address, work experience (well, other than) or education history. Nothing to fill in the blanks. But, one of her friends knew someone who knew someone (a Malagasy) who worked in the South African Consulate. Sceptical (and curious) I handed over his fee and a couple days' later, voila, passport returned with visa. Repeated process for Thailand. She never had to appear at the Consulates or anything. Ever since, I never allowed myself to get stuck in a line in this country.

So let me help as I am on the ground. Diego Sambava Tana is 340 USD with Air Mada Office. My route is Cottiss to Majunga. Majunga Ambanja Diego by road as there is no flights. Then he two flights to sambava and back to Tana. Flight availability is season and holiday depanded.
Majunga non stop sex. Huge city development. But more on this next time.
Yes, No ONE asked why the fuck I did not bribe the police at Ivato to get 3 month visa. Why I went out to start this nightmare instead finish it on the airport with a fee.

Posts: 23Fares vs availability domestic flights.
I am contemplating a 3-week stay. My primary interest is going to Sambava / Antalaha. I explored a flight itinerary Tana-Sambava-Tamatave-Tana. Would cost me €666 with AirMadagascar!! Is that fare being expected to be much cheaper if I wait till my arrival and book at the local office at Tana or at the airport? But what about expected availability as of then within my planned 3-week stay? This is quite a dilemma. What are your experiences as to those two options? Thanks a lot for any relevant info.

First there is no helper guys and second its very idiotic to think that a helper guy can assist in getting a illegal visa. I advise you to resume your trips to Mada after 5 years of absence.

I don't normally like these "expediters" as I don't like to encourage the behaviour. However, I would definitely use one if I knew there was going to be an issue and they can make it go away. The main problem is I don't know if it is necessary and worse, if these jokers can do anything about it. For all I know I could pay a guy 20 Euro to jump the queue and still find myself going through the same shit as NME (who still hasn't said which country he is from. Maybe they have had some sort of dustup with the Malagasy Government?
Steve: thanks. I have seen that (although unfortunately for a visa inside Canada, not arrival) and as I posted earlier info from the Canadian Govt also saying nothing about curtailing VOA to 30 days or less. I land in under a week so I guess I will see first hand. I'll let you guys know.
Cleara: considering Tana is at an elevation of over 5000 feet and several hundred kilometres inland the chances or your cruise ship docking there are nil.
