Windhoek - Post Report Question and Answers
What is your home city/country? How long is the trip to post from there, with what connections? How easy/difficult is it to travel to this city/country?
Home is the Boston area. There are a few options to get back - Ethiopian through Addis, Discover (Lufthansa) through Frankfurt, or various US cities through Cape Town or Joburg. They all take a long time and some have very long layovers. - Jul 2024
Seattle: Count on about 38 hours, door-to-door. There are direct WDH to Frankfurt flights. Other than that, all flights stop in Joburg. Joburg to the US is direct (ATL or IAD) or via Europe. Namibia is very out of the way but that's part of its zen charm. - Jan 2021
