Cheap Flights from Baghdad to Beirut — $156

Baghdad’s main airport, Baghdad International (BGW), functions as the country’s primary international gateway and a focal point for government, military, and commercial traffic rather than a leisure hub. It typically handles national carriers and regional airlines, with connections that can be pricier than budget routes due to security and operational costs. The airport lies about 12–20 km south of the city center; travel times are commonly 30–60 minutes depending on checkpoints and traffic. Ground options are mainly taxis and private cars—fares can vary widely—while formal shuttle services may be limited. Pros: direct international links and security-focused facilities; cons: variable access procedures and potentially higher transfer times and costs.

Fly direct from Baghdad to Beirut for the quickest, most convenient way to get between these vibrant cities — less time in transit means more time exploring Lebanon’s culture and cuisine. While connecting options can sometimes be cheaper, a nonstop flight saves hours and reduces hassle, making it the smarter choice when you value comfort and efficiency.

The cost of a one-way flight from Baghdad to Beirut ranges from $157 (January 2026) to $163 (February 2026). On average, the ticket price is about $160–$163.

Beirut Rafic Hariri International (BEY) is Lebanon’s main international gateway and typically handles most long-haul and regional carrier traffic, including full-service airlines and a number of low-cost operators. Located about 9–12 km south of downtown Beirut, it can be reached by taxi or private transfer in roughly 20–40 minutes depending on traffic; shared minibuses and ride-hailing apps are also common, with fares typically lower than private taxis. The airport usually offers basic ground transport and limited public-bus options, so travelers can expect reasonable convenience but occasional delays at peak hours. Pros: straightforward international connections and proximity to the city. Cons: can be crowded and subject to traffic-related transfer times.
