Hi, General advice: Don't be afraid. But bringing your hat/cap would be nice (I left it at home too, though). TLV itself provides you a wifi connection for free but power is only available at departure floor, the top floor.
Which document would you carry on? Good questions. What they asked me to show were as follows: * My domestic ID cards, e.g. driver license. I show you my healthcare ID card and Credit Card. * A document of your Wikimania 2011 attendance: the automated letter of registration may work, but I'm not sure if it works alone. * A document of the evidence you are Wiki[m/p]edian. (!) // If you are WMF- or a WM chapter-employed, and if there is something to evidence your employment status, it would be helpful. It's not my case, so I gave him a short lecture how Wikipedia works: all editors are volunteers, that means all of us do it for free, etc etc. - and your e-ticket printed out. Really. The Israeli passport control was more friendly, the officer I met asked me for no document, he didn't even ask how long I'll stay. The most relaxed part of the entire flight from hindsight :D Looking forward seeing you all soon, On Sat, Jul 30, 2011 at 2:06 AM, Laura James <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, thanks for the great advice - yes, please do let us know which document > would be the most helpful to print.
