I recently was due to travel to Mitiga Libya via Cairo from Heathrow London.I had a valid tourist visa for Libya to cover the entire time of my stay. I had a return flight ticket. I was due to go on a 6 day tour of Libya and had the itinery available. I was turned away at the boarding gate as I did not have a non objection form from the Libyan Immigation. which up until then I had never heard of. I informed the tour company who said that for the journey I was making ie to Mitiga Tripoli that I need not need the form. The airline Egyptair said they checked Timatic system and that I did need the form.I tried to check myself but the IATA form only relates to Libya as a whole rather than my specific destination. I need to know who is right and who is wrong in order to pursue compensation as it was an expensive trip. Would be really grateful for any help as I am stuck in the middle Sharon Oakeshott

I recently was due to travel from London Heathrow airport to Mitiga, Libya, via Cairo. I had a valid tourist visa for Libya to cover the entire time of my stay and a return flight ticket. I was due to go on a 6 day tour of Libya and had the itinerary available.

However, I was turned away at the boarding gate, as I did not have a non-objection form from the Libyan immigration, which up until then I had never heard of. 

I informed the tour company, who said that for the journey I was making, I did not need the form. The airline, Egyptair, said that they checked Timatic system, and that I did need the form. I tried to check myself, but the IATA form only relates to Libya as a whole rather than my specific destination. 

I need to know who is right and who is wrong in order to pursue compensation, as it was an expensive trip.
