Flying with children, families and groups from Tirana to Athens

Infants under two travel on a lap at a small fare; children have a seat and a child fare where the airline offers one; pushchairs are checked free at the gate on most airlines.

For groups, we book the seats in one reservation and ask the carrier for a group fare where the numbers justify it.
Things to do in Athens when you land
the Panathenaic Stadium, Delphi, a day away, the Athens Riviera beaches, the Acropolis and the Parthenon and the Acropolis Museum are what most travellers come to Athens for. Athens is the Acropolis above a modern city, with the port of Piraeus for the island ferries and Athens International (ATH) about 30 km east of the centre; Cape Sounion, Delphi and the Saronic islands are the classic day trips. Eat Greek salad with feta, grilled octopus in Piraeus and loukoumades while you are there.

How much is a flight from Tirana to Athens?
"How much is the Tirana to Athens flight?" is the question we get most, and the honest answer is that it moves every day. Low fares open months ahead and disappear as seats sell; peak seasons, school holidays and the most convenient departure times cost more; a fare with a checked bag and a flexible ticket cost more than a hand-luggage-only seat. Haqqi Tours can provide the current cost for your travel date quickly of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.
What the price we send includes: the ticket in the fare class you chose, the taxes and airport charges, the baggage that fare carries, and our service - comparing the airlines, booking, sending the e-ticket and helping if the flight changes. We tell you clearly if a bag or a seat costs extra on that fare.

- Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays
- Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are typically cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
- Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often carry the lowest fares
- Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot
- Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag

Departure: Tirana International Airport Nënë Tereza (about 17 km from the centre) (TIA)
Flights from Tirana to Athens leave from Tirana International Airport Nënë Tereza (about 17 km from the centre) (TIA), serving Tirana - tirana is Albania's capital and main gateway, a colourful city of Skanderbeg Square, the Blloku district and Dajti mountain, close to the Adriatic coast. Plan to be at the airport about two hours before an international departure and ninety minutes before a domestic one; earlier at peak times.

Getting to the airport: An airport bus runs to the centre and taxis are common, but there is no train yet; a rail link to Durres and the airport is under construction. A private car is simpler for a late arrival, a family with luggage, Durres or Golem, and the long drives to Berat, the Riviera or across the border.

- Online check-in opens 24-48 hours before; we send the link and the booking reference
- Keep the passport or ID used for booking with the e-ticket - names must match exactly

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
Is baggage included in the Tirana to Athens flight ticket?
Not always. Full-service fares generally include a checked bag; low-cost and basic fares include hand luggage only. We state exactly what each fare includes before you book and add a bag where it is cheaper to do so at booking.
Can I book a return flight from Athens to Tirana?
Of course. Tick "return" on the form with the date you come back; we compare a round-trip fare against two one-ways and book the cheaper one. Not sure of the return yet? We spell out the flexible options.
Do children and infants need a ticket?
Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children two and over need a seat and usually pay a child fare. Give the ages on the form and we apply the right fares and seat the family together.
Can I choose my seat?
On most airlines, yes - free at check-in or for a small fee at booking. Tell us your preference by WhatsApp and we add it.
What is the difference between economy and business class?
Space, food and flexibility: business class adds a bigger seat, a meal, lounge access and priority boarding, and generally a more flexible ticket. We send the cost of both so you can decide.
What happens if I miss the flight?
It depends on the fare: the cheapest tickets are lost, flexible ones can be rebooked for a fee or free. We clarify the rules of your fare before you commit to anything and help in the WhatsApp chat if something goes wrong on the day.
Can I change or cancel my flight ticket?
Change and refund rules depend on the carrier and the fare class; some tickets are flexible, the cheapest are not. We tell you exactly what applies before you confirm and handle any change through the same WhatsApp conversation.
Do I need to print the e-ticket?
No - the e-ticket and the booking reference on your phone are enough for check-in. We send both and remind you to carry the passport or ID used for booking.
How early should I be at Tirana International Airport Nënë Tereza (about 17 km from the centre)?
About two hours before an international flight and ninety minutes before a domestic one; more at peak times or if you have bags to check. Low-cost airlines close bag drop strictly on time.
Can Haqqi Tours arrange airport transfers?
Yes - a private car from your hotel to Tirana International Airport Nënë Tereza (about 17 km from the centre) and a driver waiting at Athens International Airport Eleftherios Venizelos, with flight tracking, on the same confirmation as the ticket.
Can I book the Tirana to Athens flight for a group?
Yes, absolutely. Give the number of travellers on the form; we book the seats together in one reservation and ask the airline for a group fare where the numbers justify it.
When is the best time to book the Tirana to Athens flight?
As early as your dates allow. Low fare classes open months ahead and disappear as the plane fills; holidays, weekends and summer departures sell first.
Is it better to fly or take the train from Tirana to Athens?
On this route flying is the practical choice at about 1 hour 20 minutes; we provide trains too where they exist and say which is better for you.
What if my flight is delayed or cancelled?
The carrier rebooks you and, depending on the rules that apply, may owe assistance or compensation; our WhatsApp desk helps you through it. If you have a transfer booked with us the driver tracks the flight.
Can I add extra baggage or sports equipment?
Yes - extra bags, skis, golf clubs and bicycles can be added at booking on most airlines, at a lower rate than at the airport. Tell us what you are carrying.
