How to Travel from Cameroon to Albania: Flight Routes
Traveling from Douala International Airport (DLA) or Yaoundé Nsimalen International Airport (NSI) to Tirana (TIA) involves strategic connections through major international hubs. The most reliable and popular routes for Cameroon citizens include:
Via Istanbul (IST): Flying with Turkish Airlines is a top choice, providing a smooth transit directly into the heart of the Balkans with frequent flights.
Via Casablanca (CMN): Connecting through Morocco with Royal Air Maroc offers a strategic gateway toward European hubs before reaching Tirana.

Currency and Financial Tips: CFA Franc to Albanian Lek
While you use the Central African CFA Franc (XAF) at home, you will be using the Albanian Lek (ALL) during your stay. It is important to know that while card payments are growing in Tirana's modern districts, Albania remains a cash-oriented society. Cash is essential for local markets, traditional taverns, and rural guesthouses.
We strongly suggest carrying Euros or US Dollars to exchange upon your arrival, as they are the most widely recognized foreign currencies in the country. To learn more about secure financial planning, please visit our Payment Guidelines page.
