[QUOTE=LoverAfrica;2434277]You can still fly from Europe with Kenyan via Nairobi or with Ethiopian via Addis.[/QUOTE]I have a flight on Wednesday to london connecting at nairobi with kenyan airlines hope Kenya not block the flights to europe till this time and england not go to lockdown. Some small update about tamatave: everything is open and seems nobody worried about coronavirus to much. Pattaya disco is dying on Saturday at 12.30 am at night was just 20-30 people in groups and non single girls available. Same situation was 3 weeks ago when i been here with another monger.
New York was fully packed some local singer was playing entry fee was 15 k ariary, lift was broken so need to climb all the way up through the stairs. Most of girls was with malagashy boyfriends or not good looking so left after 1 water. Taxi be was packed but quality is low could find any girl I like or see the same faces I already been taken before. Raining a lot now at tamatave last 4-5 days so weather its aint great!!
Also some 2 unusual things happen : first cottise transport not make stop for food from tana to tamatave first time in my many trips on daytime and second on friday night i went out from taxi be with a girl around 1 am at night we take bajaj and just went on main road between taxi Be and la terasse and police stop us. They ask girl id card and said bonjour for me and let us go without asking my passport. First time i see blockpost on this road and first time they dont ask passport or money.
Have a look at this, unfortunately not updated today, maybe tomorrow. But there are also people not allowed to enter Madagascar who transit through several countries. Keep an eye on it and check if it's possible for transit anywhere in Europe or not. Your airline should know it. Good luck.

[QUOTE=SteveOhh;2434908]Not allowed in anymore. Once again only in French. I can't find ][/QUOTE]The last flight in is Thursday morning -- hurry up if you want to be locked in Mada.
Ethiopian Air is sending a Dreamliner for Thursday afternoon vazaha departure: it's last flight out. I got my seat confirmed. Mada could be a nice place to ride out a plague, that is if you don't get sick, and if you had the cash reserves, otherwise you'd be living the uncle neddy experience.
And Europe decided to close all borders for next 30 days also. Starting now.
Borders will close today 12:00, no way out of EU for 30 days for European citizens.
For European citizens there is no last flight in, for them it's closed already.
For European citizens they can enter Europe to go back home, by contacting the local embassy, and cannot exir Europe.
