KUWAIT REPORT TRAVEL.

 

Punctual as never before, from Soekarno Hatta Airport, located in Tangerang, 35 km west of the center of Jakarta, at 11.05 pm my plane of the Kuwait Airways Company in the direction of Kuwait International Airport, (price of the multi-leg ticket, taxes included from Rome to Kuala Lumpur and from Jakarta to Rome with a stopover in Kuwait: Euro 543.81), with connection to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia where you have to wait on the plane, about 1 hour and 30 'to refuel and pick up the other passengers .

 

I therefore arrive at 6.00 a.m. at Kuwait International Airport, where it is very cold due to the air conditioning. There is only 1 hour of time zone, compared to Italy when summer time is in the latter.

 

For European citizens, the tourist visa for 90 days for Kuwait can be obtained free of charge at the airport, by going to the appropriate Visa counter, where it is necessary to make a copy of the passport for free and fill in the appropriate form. Keep in mind that the Authorities tend to refuse to issue visas for those who stay in the country for less than 8 hours and therefore in the case of a stopover between one plane and another.

 

From Kuwait International Airport, located 16 km south of the center of Kuwait City, there are bus no. 501 and 13 that shuttle every half hour between the airport and the city center. The journey takes about 40 minutes. The ticket is taken from the driver at a price of ¼ KWD.

 

A taxi into the center of Kuwait City costs 1 KWD.

 

A taxi ride from downtown Kuwait City to Kuwait International Airport, located 16km south of downtown Kuwait City costs 3 KWD.

 

Incredibly, at the aforementioned 2nd airport security check, the very strict border policemen made me throw away all 20 rechargeable batteries I had in my hand luggage, because they said they could not be taken on the mobile plane.

 

With almost an hour delay my plane of the Kuwait Airways Company leaves from Kuwait International Airport at 24.45 in the direction of KLIA Airport in Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, (price of multi-route ticket including taxes from Rome to Kuala Lumpur and from Jakarta in Rome with a stopover in Kuwait: Euro 543.81).

 

From Fiumicino Airport I take the Rome Airport Bus Company Bus to Rome Termini Station at a price of 6 Euros. Journey time: 50 minutes.

 

From the Triburtina Station in Rome, I take the Bus of the Bus Center Company to the Milan Rogoredo Railway Station at the price of Euro 39.00. Duration of the trip: 8 hours
