Tirana Airport …

#GetDiscountNotDependingOnLuck I would like to take this opportunity to review Tirana Airport, which is the only international airport in the country. This airport is about 30 minutes from the city center. You can travel from Tirana city center by bus (budget) or taxi. When you arrive here, one thing you definitely won't see at this airport is the airplane landing strip because there is none. 555 When you pass through immigration, you will see the baggage claim belt. As far as I can remember, there are 3 belts, shared by many flights at the same time, and it takes a very long time for the luggage to be released. When you come out to the arrivals hall (which is very small), if you want to buy a SIM card, you can buy it at the airport. There are 2 networks to choose from: Vodafone and One. The price of both packages is the same. As far as I can remember, there are 25 Euros and 35 Euros. If you buy a SIM card package for tourists in the city, it is the same price. For currency exchange, there is an exchange counter. But... Albania has its own currency called Lek, but most shops accept Euros. Euro coins are also accepted. The exchange rate on the day I went was 1€=100Lek. Arriving at the departure (return) I recommend not arriving at this airport more than several hours in advance. Arriving at least 2 hours in advance is enough because the airport has very few check-in counters and they open shortly before the flight. Also, there are few places to wait. You have to sit in a coffee shop. After passing through immigration, you will see about 2 duty-free shops, which have enough things to shop for.
