Tirana Airport
Traveller Comments....
"Don't plan to even "stop" there, if you don't have to!!!!!" (?)
"This is definitely the worst airport I have ever encountered in Europe. Tiny, dirty, foul, smoky, no place to sit and barely any space to stand. forget it." (Sean Rorison)
"Albania International Airport is basically two rooms. Think a small bus station somewhere deep in old USSR" (?)
"West educated friends, do not ever go to albania." (dimis)
Recent Review

Tirana airport is probably the cleanest and fanciest building in Albania (unless if you stay in the Sheraton hotel maybe). I spend a night in this airport waiting for my 05.10am flight to Budapest. During the night, all shops are closed. 2 cafs remain open all night. One of them has comfy couches, but they don't allow you to sleep on them.
The benches at the check-in area are few in number. This however is no problem at all. Since there are no flights from the airport between midnight and 05.00pm, the only people walking around were cleaning and security staff. All benches have four seats without armchairs, which makes it easy to lay down on them. Their surface is kind of hard which does make them slightly uncomfertable after an hour or so. The staff did not bother me at all and all looked very friendly (some of them even smiled at me).
The airport is really quiet at night. There are no people and no announcements, so hardly any noise at all.
The last review for this airport was in 2009. Have you been there recently? Tell us about it!
