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,
