The U.S. renewed its ban on travel to Libya but plans to review the policy every 90 days.
Lifting the ban would be good news for savvy travelers who would be able to travel to Libya and then begin international trips from there. Airfares ex-Tripoli are among the absolute lowest in the world. First class round the world fares (think 30,000 flown miles on a mix of international carriers) can be had for around US$3000!
