@ZodiaK @Sa7rawy with Ethiopian Airlines the only airline scheduled to fly to the new Berbera airport and Ethiopian first arriving in June 2nd 2022, I checked Google Flights and what I saw is if you leave London Heathrow on June 1st evening to go to Somaliland using Ethiopian Airlines:
Arriving at Hargeisa June 2nd costs around £542
Arriving at Berbera June 2nd costs around £582
Arriving at Jigjiga June 2nd costs £479

These prices can change. If someone wanted to go to Somaliland via Jigjiga how much does it cost to travel by car plus what charges do you have to pay at the land border

My mother has traveled from Haregies to Jigjiga by bus often. Don't know the exact cost, but it shouldn't cost more than 20 dollars. However, trying to save on the plane ticket is not worth it. The drive is at least 4hrs long and dangerous since these drivers speed like hell. The scenery is also not that great.
