Top tips for finding cheap flights to Albania

  • Three major airports serve New York City (NYC). JFK and the LaGuardia Airport (LGA) are both on Long Island and serve as hubs for American and Delta. The Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) is across the Hudson River to the west of Manhattan. EWR is a hub for United. When you are booking your flight from NYC to Albania, KAYAK will provide you with many options so that you can find the flight that's right for you.
  • If your schedule or the amount of luggage you have necessitates your taking a cab to one of the NYC airports, keep in mind that the journey will be much more expensive than public transportation. You'll be charged a flat fee for going to the airport, a surcharge based on the time of day, and on top of that, you must tip the driver. All in all, a cab ride to an NYC airport will cost around $90 to $100.
  • When you fly from NYC to Albania, you will land in one of Albania’s two major airports. The first, and most prominent, is the Tirana International Airport Mother Teresa (TIA), located in the city of Rinas. This airport is a hub for Air Albania, Albawings, and Wizz Air. The Kukes International Airport Zayed (KFZ) is located in Kukes County, Albania. This airport was specifically built as an alternative to TIA.
  • Flights to KFZ will depart from either JFK or EWR. It is unlikely that you will find a flight to KFZ from LGA. Norse Atlantic Airways tends to be the most popular carrier that offers flights from JFK to KFZ. Common stops include London, Vienna, and Milan. TAP Air Portugal and LOT are among the carriers that offer flights to KFZ from EWR. Stops include Lisbon, London, and Warsaw.
  • The Tirana Mother Teresa airport consists of one small terminal where you will find exclusive lounges where you can pay at the door, currency exchange kiosks, luggage lockers, and travel agencies. Rental car companies located near the exits of the Public Areas include Albania Airport Rental Car, ARA Auto Rental, Enterprise, Europcar, Sixt, Avis, and Euro Car Rentals.

Boarding was a madhouse. Airport staff was completely disinterested in communicating about the delays. Never again.

Boarding was a madhouse. Airport staff was completely disinterested in communicating about the delays. Never again.

The crew and flight were amazing . However , my bag’s locker got broken and no refund provided . Everything else was amazing except this bad incident that ruined my experience

The seats are small and the movie selection was disappointing. However, the food was excellent and the cabin crew was attentive and kind.

Plane is super outdated, seats not that comfortable for business class. Lounge also out dated. They need to catch up to 2024. Don’t think I’d ever fly again.

Aircraft was new. Food so so, especially vegetarian was very disappointing.

LOT airlines wasn't the best. They had trouble with boarding and they didn't have my information on file the right way. They change last minute details without us knowing and everything was a HOT MESS. Lot airlines also lost my baggae which was the carseat and haven't responded to any of my emails.

Tv screen not working. Food in business class was cold & not available

The customer service and the flight experience were very good!

My bag was lost despite an almost 8 hour layover in Warsaw. Nearly 12 hours after my arrival, I have not heard anything about it.

The plane was very comfortable, the seats were great for overnight flight. The bathrooms were spotless the entire flight

The good: we liked fast boarding, the departure and arrival on-time. The not-so-good: The crew should learn from their sister-company Swiss with whom we took the flight to the US. Austrian onboard personnel need to smile more and provide a better service. Food was okay, there was the usual issue with “no more chicken” by the time they reach row X 😕. We did not understand why the crew collected trash so randomly and inadequately. We missed the free internet for messaging which was privided by Swiss as well. Hope this feedback helps.

They should be kind to the people Food is always plain pasta bread is from the fridge they don't even warm up Seat is so uncomfortable body hurts

I am very satisfied for choosing that Airlines! It was my first time but the everything went smoothly! Thank you!

This is truly the worst travel experience of my life. The UK ETA program had a technical failure, and I was stuck in limbo for 24 hours, unable to board my flight and unable to navigate anything in my itinerary. I had to rebook an entirely new flight and I’m now out doubled the money. Unconscionable.

It was a great experience. The aircraft is a bit dated but other than that it was great.

Short flight. Bare bones and kinda seeming like an older plane. But got me there on time and that's what counts. Perfectly fine flight all the way from start to finish.

Austrian Airlines help and service was fine, but Kayak misled us into believing we had purchased a Business Class ticket. In fact, the tickets were only upgraded Coach Class tickets with luggage restrictions that belonged to the Coach Class. Very disappointed! Paid over $$$$ 9K for the two tickets. Very disappointing!

Leg room and seat back not a good recline (middle seat)

The restrictions regarding carry-on baggage is too strict. My wife was forced to check her carry-on bag. Never had this on other airlines.

Original Flight was cancelled Then Baggage was lost on rebooked flight

To get to jet blue at JFK from any connecting flight you have to go through security again.

On time, great food, good drink selection! Only down was alcohol-free lounge. Lufthansa had a much better offering!

For that price on Business class, I expected to have the pod seats. These were configured as 2/3/2 and my seat mate talked half the flight with a friend across the isle, loudly. Very uncouth.

It was an amazing experience. Flight crew's service, hospitality, and the food were phenomenal. I don't think I'd want to try any other airline company after this. I would definitely recommend to friends and family. Thank you Turkish Airlines !

Not good. I was supposed to be in Mint but got in economy class

Not up to Business Class standards. Two of the three toilets were out of order. The hostesses were aware and didn’t show any responsible act to do something. Food quality was not what we expect from Turkish hospitality. Overall we were not impressed and disappointed.

I was not given basinett seat.The connecting flight was missed due to airline fault i was not accomodated for hotel.Drinks were normt served frewuently.Never travelling again on tirkish airlines.I always travel wiyh family by turkish airline but no more.zero stars

This is really the rating of two flights. JFK to IST then IST to NQZ. New York to Istanbul was good. Good crew and all positives. The flight to Astana was so bad that brought it all down. Crew was nonexistent above the minimum, seats were cramped, and it was hot on the plane. Turkish Airlines seems to be slipping down to US based carriers level.

Everything was very good, except that the plane was an hour and a half late

Professional & courteous cabin crew. Food was very good even in economy class

Crew was very good and accommodating. Maybe fruit could be added for a snack.

They lost my checked in bag and have not helped me.

My seat was broken and ducted taped and my monitor did not work the entire time over 8 hrs sitting. And I had no books or anything with me

The check in process is chaotic. It says partially checked-in. Never heard of such a thing. Then lost our reserved seats when we finally checked in at the airport. The seats don’t recline. Then we had to get mew boarding passes at the connection. Last, my companion lost her baggage and up to now there’s no update. We’re already half-way through our vacation and still no news what happened to the luggage.

Boarding was chaotic. Service was poor. Attendant was slow and rude. In business class, I was not offered a drink until 1.5 hrs,after takeoff. Food was inedible.

Terrible. They canceled 2 flights and then sent everyone by BUS from Rome. They should make amends by offering some sort of compensation.

We ordered a gluten free meal and never got it!

The gate information was never populated on the Delta app or the airport displays or the desk at the Delta lounge. We found at the last minute that we had to switch terminals and just made it to our flight. Even this we found accidentally by asking an employee at another gate. On board service was poor. Seats were very poor. All in all a poor experience. At best like a Premium Economy on other airlines

I thought they had rebranded themselves in every aspect but it was quite the opposite. The food was terrible the service was sub-par. Overall it was not a good experience.

They were on time that’s the only good thing I can say about them. Everything else could’ve been better starting from the rude crew to the condition of the plane to the food and the entertainment system not working very well but they did get my bags to me (which they forced me to check even though I only had a small carry on) which friends that also flew on ITA did not get, so at least there’s that.

Easily one of the best flights I’ve ever taken. Worth it to upgrade slightly. Crew was phenomenal. Just wish the man sat next to me kept his shoes on. There should be a rule about that. But I wish I could take every flight with BA.

Flight was extremely delayed and they didn’t feed us for a 4 hour delay

Plane took off 90 mins late, on board entertainment was not working, cabin crew was not frequent.

Our seats were reassigned on the day of departure and our small family group of 3 was split up unnecessarily — my wife was seated many rows behind myself and my daughter. The seats were also very small and very tightly packed — there was no space at all — and the seat cushions were hard and uncomfortable. I couldn’t sleep because it was painful on my butt. The cabin crew were nice and the food was decent enough, though.

The chairs were a bit tight even though I had extra feet space…2nd plane didn’t have entertainment and even though they said there was free WiFi-I believe the free WiFi wasn’t accessible unless u had some account set up….which I didn’t figure out

Flight was good but temp in the cabin was cold.

The seats in Premier Economy were very comfortable. The food was better than average. The way British Airways handled our seating was atrocious.

Worst airline in the world. They downgraded me from business class to economy with no compensation.

Even if you wait for connecting passengers you should not be an hour late departing waiting their luggage. Your passengers may have connections in the other end and you harm them.

Getting the boarding passes between the BA and AA apps was very clunky.
