Cheap flights to Beirut
Cheap flights to Beirut can be nonstop from parts of Europe and the Middle East, or a connection that folds a layover into the day and changes how you arrive. Beirut, Lebanon's capital, rewards the journey with a long corniche, neighbourhoods that move from Gemmayzeh's late cafés to Hamra's shops, and tables piled with meze. Arrivals swell in summer and around Christmas when expatriates return, with regular connections from Warsaw, Istanbul, Berlin and Paris on carriers such as Middle East Airlines, Pegasus and Eurowings.
Flights to Beirut — where from
Airports — Beirut
Before you land, arrange entry paperwork and confirm airport transport, because Beirut is served only by Rafic Hariri and your meaningful choice is between a direct flight and a connection rather than between airports.
Taxis and shared service cars wait outside arrivals, city buses serve central neighbourhoods, and hotel pickups suit late landings; walking from the terminal is not practical.
When to go
January and February are quieter, with cooler evenings that suit walking districts and lower pressure on hotel rooms, while spring brings milder days and a gradual rise in bookings as Easter travel meets family visits. Summer is the peak, when Lebanese expatriates and visitors from the Gulf return, terraces fill late into the night, and seats become harder to find before September and October ease the pace; December then tightens again around Christmas and New Year.
