Full-Service Airlines have more lenient policies, sometimes including more spacious dimensions or higher weight limits depending on your ticket class.
The list of items prohibited on an airplane varies by country and airline, but in general, the following items are not allowed in carry-on or checked baggage: Weapons and self-defence items, sharp objects, flammable materials, explosives, toxic substances, or liquids over 100ml (except for medications and baby essentials). In checked baggage, firearms (without authorization), explosives, large lithium batteries, and hazardous chemicals are prohibited. Electronic cigarettes must be in carry-on bags, while alcohol and dry ice have restrictions. Always check with your airline for specific regulations.
The currency used in Albania is the Albanian lek (ALL). Travelers often find it convenient to use cash, especially in smaller towns and local markets, while credit and debit cards are widely accepted in larger cities, hotels, and restaurants. Carrying some cash is recommended for better flexibility.
In Tiranë, travelers should be cautious of petty theft such as pickpocketing, especially in crowded areas and on public transportation. Common scams include overcharging by taxi drivers who do not use meters and unofficial guides offering overpriced tours. It is advisable to use registered taxis and agree on prices beforehand. Travelers should also be wary of fake charity collectors and avoid leaving belongings unattended. Staying aware of surroundings and securing valuables can help ensure a safe visit.
Pack lightweight, versatile clothing suitable for the destination's climate, and use secure, lockable luggage to protect belongings. Keep essential items like travel documents, medication, and valuables in a carry-on bag for easy access. Use packing organizers or cubes to maximize space and maintain order. Lastly, include a small first aid kit and personal hygiene items for added comfort during travel.
