Update from March 1, 2025 – Travel without a printed ticket to the Schengen area

Starting from March 1, 2025, passengers with an electronic boarding pass on their phone can travel from Tirana International Airport to Schengen countries without needing to print their ticket anymore!

How does it work?

1. If the airline offers this option, make sure your electronic boarding pass is on your phone.
2. Scan it at the security checkpoint and at the boarding gate.
3. Travel faster, with no need for extra paperwork!

---------------------------------

3 hours before

Due to the high number of passengers, we recommend that you arrive at Tirana International Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled flight departure. This will ensure enough time for check-in, security procedures, and other necessary steps for a smooth travel experience. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. Safe travels!

Avoid the line

If you have your printed boarding pass and you are only carrying a hand luggage, you're almost ready. Proceed directly to security control.
