How to Travel from Chad to Albania: Flight Routes
Traveling from N'Djamena International Airport (NDJ) to Tirana (TIA) involves strategic connections through major international hubs. The most popular and reliable route for citizens of Chad is typically flying via Istanbul (IST) with Turkish Airlines, which offers frequent connections and a smooth transit directly into the heart of the Balkans.
Other excellent options include connecting through Paris (CDG) with Air France or via Cairo (CAI) with EgyptAir. These routes provide a high level of comfort and various scheduling options for your journey from Central Africa to the vibrant Adriatic coast.

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 common in Tirana's modern establishments, Albania remains a cash-oriented society, especially in 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 and easily traded foreign currencies in the country. To learn more about secure financial planning, please visit our Payment Guidelines page.
