For instance, if you fly from UK airports to Beirut with Lufthansa, you will usually change planes at Frankfurt Airport. Meanwhile, flights from Manchester with Air France will stopover at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris. Flying direct will usually cut around 3-5 hours off your journey compared with non-direct routes.
If you’re booked on flights to Beirut, you must make sure you have the correct travel documents to move through immigration when you land. British travellers on short trips to Beirut can usually get a tourist visa on arrival. Make sure you do not overstay after your visa runs out as you may face hefty fines. You must also have a valid UK passport that remains valid for at least three months after your arrival date.

You can find currency exchange services at BankMed in the Beirut Airport Arrivals Area, where you can trade your British Pounds for Lebanese Pounds. Alternatively, you can find ATMs located throughout the airport that accept foreign cards.

Foreign currency withdrawal at the ATM may also incur further bank fees.
There are a number of priority and VIP passenger lounges available, depending on the airline or rewards programme you belong to. However, if you don’t belong to any such programme, you can purchase entry to the Beirut Lounge or the LAT Lounge. Here you can enjoy a buffet of snacks and finger-food, relax in comfortable chairs and wait for your flight, or make the most of the tables and free Wi-Fi to finish any work.

Meat should be of a higher quality or else just serve chicken next time its a safer option … Offering meat is fancy only if the meat is great…
At checkin they said we would board at 11:10, in the end there was nothing on the departure screens until 11:45 (for a 12:10) flight, and then the flight ended up being almost an hour late, and it’s not the first time MEA pull that kind of thing…
The flight itself it was great nice food the crew were very nice and helpful, Checking in from Birmingham wasn't great long queues for bag dropped, And I had my hand luggage case taken away from me even though I requested to have it with me as I had breakables items. I was told I can not because of the length of the flight with no explanation at all no options was given for me to take my fragile items out of my case it was taken away with hold buggage I find the staff member who was checking me in very unpleasant !! Can we please be advise if the rules have changed about the the carry on hand luggage it will be easier to be advise on booking your tickect if we not allowed to take the hand luggage with me. Overall I had a good flight .
I requested wheel chair assistance , it was confirmed via email that inwoood get it but I didn’t get it . The last leg of my trip to Nigeria was the worst.
The seats are too cramped in that plane. If you’re above 1,80m consider alternatives or first class I guess… There were no emergency exits to seat somewhere with more legroom
one of my bags was drenched with fish smelling water and all my new clothes bought at dublin and the 23kg checked in bag were all gone waste with very pungent fish smell and also having stains
At the transit could be less time not like 12 hour 6 hours the mix should be 4 hour, thanks
