    It's better to rent a car or use a taxi where the public transportation is not so comfortable.
    Of course if you don't share a travel group.

    • You can get to Benghazi from any other place in Libya or abroad by means of airplane.
    Beninah airport is the main airport of Benghazi. Just 20 k.m. from the city center.
    You can get to the city from the airport by shared buses for one dianr or by taxi for 10 dinars.
    You have the choice.

    • You can get to Benghazi from any Libyan city or even from any ajacent country by two-storey , air-conditioned and comfortable buses with TV .
    The prises are alittle bit more cost than the other sorts of public transportation, but not expensive.

    Buraq Air

    Buraq Air, founded in 2000, is Libya's first private airline. I flew Buraq Air from Tripoli to Benghazi and back. Based on my experience, I would highly recommend this small, but modern and efficient, airline. I must admit I was a bit apprehensive as I had never heard of Buraq Air before and expected ageing planes and flight delays. But, what I got was a modern airline using Boeing 737-800s and flights that were punctual to the exact second.

    There are 3 or 4 flights daily between Libya's two main cities. The flight from Tripoli usually takes less than an hour while the flight from Benghazi takes just over an hour. This slight difference is because of the prevailing westerly winds.

    Domestic check-in at Benghazi's Benina International Airport is quick and easy. They are generous about hand baggage, so if you have two pieces of hand baggage, including a tennis bag, for example, you can keep it with you, no problem.

    In-flight they serve coffee, tea or a soft drink with a slice of cake. Try to get a window seat as the clear air in Libya gives you excellent views of the Tripoli and Benghazi areas.

    The daily flight schedule from Tripoli to Benghazi is:

    Flight No UZ0011
    Tripoli 09:30
    Benghazi 10:40

    UZ0005
    Tripoli 15:30
    Benghazi 16:40

    UZ0007
    Tripoli 19:00
    Benghazi 20:10

    UZ0009
    Tripoli 21:00
    Benghazi 22:10

    From Benghazi to Tripoli:

    UZ0002
    Benghazi 07:30
    Tripoli 08:45

    UZ0034
    Benghazi15:45
    Tripoli 17:00

    UZ0006
    Benghazi17:45
    Tripoli 19:00

    UZ0008
    Benghazi 21:15
    Tripoli 22:30

    Tickets cost 60 LD one way/ 120 LD return.
