Tips & Warnings

• All phone numbers include the U.S. international prefix "011." When calling internationally outside the United States, substitute that "011" with "00."
• All country codes are within parentheses and begin with a "+" sign.
• Be aware of the many long delays caused by security on the various island airports. Give yourself plenty of flexibility in your itineraries.
• Comores Aviation does not currently offer an English-language Web site or phone number through which you can book tickets and make reservations.
• By booking online, you can enjoy the convenience of printing receipts and purchase confirmations immediately for your records.
• Always ask permission before photographing people in the Comoros. For the many followers of Islam on the Comoros islands, unsolicited photography can be extremely disrespectful.
• As in most nations of Africa, the Comoros does have incidences of malaria. It's important to schedule all your vaccinations at least one month before arriving. You should also bring a sufficient amount of malaria tablets.
