We traveled "MEA airlines" from Athens - Greece to Beirut Hariri airport.
The ticket costs about 310 euro with return from Athens.
A suggestion to MEA airlines: when somebody travels with an infant you have to provide an extra safety belt. Its a good air-company, we fly with an air-bus A321, they departure was on-time, and they offered to my baby a nice teddy bear which the baby adore it.

If you are getting a visa on arrival at the airport before passport control, buy a stamp from the bank at the right hand side ($17 for single entry - US currency is probably easiest but Euros also accepted) and then get in the foreigners' queue to the right hand.
You will probably find you get through quite quickly, as other people won't know what to do. Make sure you have completed your landing card well! Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

 Beirut From The Air ! by coceng
The flight is about 10 hours journey.
Started at 7.30 am.

I flew to Beirut on Middle East Airlines, arriving from Frankfurt and returning to Paris. In general, I found it a little tricky to get to and from Beirut, since few airlines fly there and almost no cities have daily connections (the most convenient was Paris). MEA was quite comfortable in business class, serving such a lovely Lebanese breakfast on my outbound flight that I was very sorry to be leaving!
Annoyingly, MEA does not have frequent-flyer partnerships with any of the airlines I have accounts with. You can earn miles with Air France, KLM, and Qatar Airways. Leave a Comment

A very common way of getting around Beirut...and actually a very cheap method of transportation - compared to Europe and the US - is the Service (pronounced as in french). It is a taxi cab that holds up to 4 passangers, each of which can be headed to a different location. However, usually a cab driver accepts to take those passengers who are headed to the same area or surroundings, or who have stops along the way to a particular destination.
In most locations in Beirut, you will not have a problem in stopping a Service (unlike NYC..where its an accomplishment :-P)...sometimes, too many of them stop and ask you if you wish to go some place, if you look like you're lost, or are standing/walking on the side of the street. However, to stop a service, you can wave to one that is passing by...wait for him to stop...tell him your destination, if he approves, you get into the car...if not, then you should wait for another.
Service fairs for most areas of central Beirut is 1000 L.L. (equivalent to 0.66 cents or 0.55 euros)..if several cabs pass by and refuse to take you to a particular place, then you can let them know that you are willing to pay more than the basic amount.
If you wish to take a whole service (which means that you wont be stopping at different places, or having other people share your cab), then this is called a Taxi.
You stop the car in the same manner as you did the service..but you say the words 'Taxi'. The driver will automatically understand, and your fare will be 5000 L.L. (= 3 USD or 2.5 euros).
Note that, 'Services' MUST have RED license plates...and usually they are old mercedeces's. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

 Well, you said the car had to
be aircondioned! by TheWanderingCamel
Buses and microbuses go all over the country and are cheap but you do need to check to see when the last bus goes for your return, it can be quite early in the day and, of course you are restricted by their timetables for any on-going travel you may want to do.
Service taxis serve lots of places, especially along the coast and inland to Baalbek. You can pick these longer haul services up at the bus stations.
Neither of these options are very satisfactory if you want to stop along the way to your ultimate destination or if you want to fit a lot in to your day. To do that, you really need to hire a car with a driver. The day we spent with one of our drivers, visiting the Chouffe and Beit ed-dine, was all the more pleasurable for his informed knowledge of the places we visited and his charming company.

 Bus by oana16
Taxis can be taken for definite distances or for a day or a half-day trip.
Three categories of public transportation co-exist in Lebanon: Buses, mini-buses and "services" (Lebanese name for collective taxis).
While buses have definite bus stops, mini-buses and "services" do not. Either way, just let the driver know that you want to get in by making him a sign.
Service: 1000-2000 LBP (in town); 5000-8000 LBP (between towns)
Bus/Minibus: 500 LBP (in town); 2000-3000 LBP (between towns)
To the Beqaa Valley: Hazmieh, "Sayyad" roundabout.
To Sidon and Tyre: Cola bus station, Beirut.
To Tripoli and Syria: Charles Helou Bus Station (facing Beirut Port).
In Lebanon there is no railway! Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

 Beirut by MalenaN
Charles Helou station: From here you take the buses to Syria and the north of Lebanon.
From Charles Helou I always took the small bus (Nakliat al Abiad) to Tripoli. The bus drops you wherever you want to get off.
Tripoli: 1000 LL (in June), 1500 LL (in August)
Jbeil (Byblos): 1000 LL
Jounieh: 1000 LL
Nahr al Kalb: 1000LL
Dawra (Dora): This station is east of Charles Helou. If you have stopped a bus along the way going back to Beirut this is were the bus often stops. From here you can take a minibus to Charles Helou for 500 LL.
Cola: From here you take the buses to Baalbeck and the south.
Saida (Sidon): 750 LL (big local bus), 1000 LL (small bus), 1500 LL (bus with AC).
Sour (Tyre): 1500 LL or 2000 LL depending on bus type.
Damour: 750 LL - 1000 LL
Baalbeck: 3000 LL (in June) now I think it is 4000 LL. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

 Louis Cruise Lines by MrBill
The cost is about CYP175 ($368) per person for a deluxe cabin, including meals on board. I personally found this a little too expensive, given that the accomodation and meals were adequate, but nothing special. However, you have to consider the price versus flying from Larnaca to Beirut - CYP100 - and then booking a hotel in Beirut for 2-nights? I am sure there are cheaper ways to see Beirut, but this is an easy way. Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/BoatPhone: Tel: +357 25 570000Website: www.louiscruises.com Other Contact: downtown Limassol
