Cheap Flights to Chad

Useful advice for travelling to Chad (TD)

Flights to Chad provide a great opportunity to feel soft African desert sand under your own feet. Desert dunes look like sea waves, with sand particles being thrown against rocks by the hot African winds. Lake Chad, after which the country is named, shimmers in the sun. Curious travellers are beckoned here by the beauty of rare animals, colourful cities, vast forests, and exotic musical rhythms. All this and more waits every guest of this country.

Preparing for the trip

Lithuanian travellers will need to acquire a travel visa to enter Chad, despite of how long they are planning to visit. A visa will be issued after contacting Chad’s embassy in a diplomatically representative country, or you can leave this for your travel agency.

Before heading out, you need to get vaccinated against yellow fever; with the exception of those who plan to visit the Sahara desert only. You should also purchase some anti-malaria medicine and re-new your vaccinations against diphtheria and tetanus if necessary. If visiting various country areas is in your plans, you should also get vaccinated against hepatitis A and B and meningitis as a precaution. While visiting, be careful not to consume any food products that were not heat-treated, make sure to wash all fruit and vegetables, and avoid drinking tap water.

Transportation and travel charges

Only a small portion of Chadian roads are paved. During the rainy season, the roads may be difficult to drive on. The best ways for travelling across the country are to use buses, lorries, and planes.

Official local currency unit is the Central African CFA franc (XAF). One franc is equal to approximately 0.002 euro. Living costs in Chad are slightly lower than in Lithuania. For example, you can have lunch in a cheap restaurant for 5000 francs and buy a cappuccino for about 1860.
