Beware of the porters
Habib Bourguiba International Airport is located about 9km west of the city of Monastir. A taxi ride from the city center costs about 5 DNT and takes about 20 minutes, or you can take a train (the station is about 200 meters from the terminal). It is an international airport and offers no domestic flights. Companies that operate here include Tunisair, Karthago Airlines, Nouvelair Tunisia, Air Berlin, and Transavia, and destinations include Paris, Dusseldorf, Berlin, Munich, Bilbao, Madrid, Milan, and Amsterdam.
Keep an eye out for the porters, who will "help" you with your bags without asking, before asking for a substantial tip (they wanted 10 DNT from us!).
There are a number of shops where you can do some last-minute shopping to try to get rid of your dinars before leaving the country; these are souvenir shops with the same merchandise you can find in any souk in the country, but at higher prices. After the police check in the departure terminal, you'll find the duty free shops which have everything (alcoholic beverages, tobacco, perfumes, chocolate) and international brands. There is also a café, where smoking is still allowed, a relief for smokers.
