Bahrain International BAH
Cheap flights from Bahrain leave from one airport: Bahrain International, known by its code BAH. It is the country's gateway, and its departures cover a spread of destinations, including Istanbul, Baku, Vienna, London, Larnaca, Warsaw, Poznan and Chisinau, so short hops around the region and longer runs into Europe start from the same terminal. That range is why fares move from one date to the next, and why the price calendar on this page is worth a look before you pick a day.

Getting to the city
There is no second airport in Bahrain, so every flight in and out goes through Bahrain International. That matters when you are comparing fares: you cannot switch to another field across town to save money. Taxis and ride-hailing cars are the usual way between the terminal and the city, hotel shuttles cover many stays, and car hire desks suit longer trips. Hail your ride before you clear arrivals if you land late, and give yourself room on the way back: check-in and security queues build up before the day's departures, so arriving early beats a rushed run to the gate.
