Tirana - Post Report Question and Answers

What is your home city/country? How long is the trip to post from there, with what connections? How easy/difficult is it to travel to this city/country?

We are from Northern Virginia. The flight from Dulles usually connects in Frankfurt or Vienna and then onto Tirana. - Apr 2018


Hometown in the Midwest. Fly through Vienna or Munich to Chicago. About 20 hours but quite comfortable. - Aug 2016


We divide home leave between Huntsville, Alabama and New Orleans. It takes between 19-21 hours door to door. - Aug 2015


Florida. Depending on your travel route, the trip could take either one or two days. From Dulles, we took Austrian Air to Vienna, had a 5 hour layover in Vienna, and then a direct flight to Tirana. When returning to Florida, we prefer to use our overnight stop to make the trip easier. We take Austrian or Lufthansa to Vienna, Vienna to Frankfurt, and Frankfurt to Orlando. These are United code shares. Other options include Alitalia (Delta code share) through Rome, but I do not recommend flying Alitalia if you can avoid it. Friends and family have found flights on Turkish Airlines through Istanbul and Lufthansa through Munich. - Aug 2014
