How to Travel from Lebanon to Albania: Flight Routes
Traveling from Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport (BEY) to Tirana (TIA) is convenient with several connection options, as there are currently no direct flights. The most popular and reliable route for Lebanese citizens is flying via Istanbul (IST) with Turkish Airlines or Pegasus Airlines, offering smooth daily transit directly into the Balkans.
Other excellent options include connecting through Athens (ATH) with Aegean Airlines, or via Vienna (VIE) with Austrian Airlines. These routes provide high levels of comfort and multiple scheduling options, ensuring your transition from the Levant to the Adriatic coast is seamless.

Currency and Financial Tips: Lebanese Pound to Albanian Lek
While you use the Lebanese Pound (LBP) at home, you will be using the Albanian Lek (ALL) during your stay. It is important to note that while card payments are common in Tirana's modern malls and upscale hotels, Albania remains a cash-oriented society. You will find that 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 and easily traded foreign currencies in the country. To learn more about secure financial planning, please visit our Payment Guidelines page.
