Cheap flights from Ottawa to Beirut from C$ 591

Located at Ottawa's southern end, Macdonald–Cartier International Airport (YOW) is the second busiest in Ontario after Toronto Pearson International Airport and the sixth busiest in Canada. It is part of the Eastern Triangle (the popular air corridor between Toronto, Montreal, and Ottawa). Besides being a gateway to eastern Arctic flights, YOW serves passengers heading to Lebanon and other Middle East regions. To get to the airport, catch one of the OC Transpo public buses from downtown Ottawa. A flight to Beirut from Ottawa lands in Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport (BEY), situated in the Khaldeh suburb, south of Beirut, Lebanon. Its passenger area features airline lounges, ATMs, a bank, elevators, restaurants, duty-free shops, babycare rooms, baggage wrapping, Wi-Fi, healthcare, and postal services. To get around Beirut, choose from various regular taxi services, distinguished by a white body and a rooftop with yellow and black markings. You’ll instantly recognize airport-owned taxis by their side logo. Alternatively, hire a corporate taxi provided by online companies or your destination hotel.

Unfortunately, there is no direct route to Beirut from Ottawa. The majority of flights have to change planes at two international airports. The airlines serving passengers from YOW to BEY are Air Canada, Air France, Lufthansa, Turkish Airlines, LOT, and MEA. Lufthansa and Air Canada provide most of the flights, and you can expect two layovers when travelling with either.

Suppose you take a flight from Ottawa to Beirut with Lufthansa airline. Your first stopover is designated at Toronto Pearson International Airport, where you may spend 5h 15min before flying to Frankfurt Airport in Germany. Frankfurt's layover time can be 2h 40min or 3h 45min as you wait for the last plane to take you to Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport. So, your entire flight lasts about 20h 50min or 21h 50min, with the latter costing less. The other flight option offered by Air Canada travels from Ottawa via Toronto Pearson International Airport, where you rest for 2h 50min. After changing planes, the next stopover is at Hamadl International Airport in Doha, where you’ll spend another 4h 25min before moving on to Beirut. Such a flight takes around 24h 50min and is less expensive than the Ottawa – Toronto – Frankfurt – Beirut flight. When changing planes, some flights have longer layovers (up to 13h 10min in Toronto and 3h in Doha). If you prefer this route, Ottawa – Toronto – Doha – Beirut, you may choose among three flight time options: 24h 50min, 26h 55min, and 32h 55min. However, there is no difference in airfare.

Canadians can obtain visas upon landing at Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport. If you need a single-entry Lebanese visa with one-month validity, you’ll not be charged any fee at the airport.

To acquire the visa, be sure to carry your original passport. Minors below the age of 18 must present a consent letter signed by both parents to authorize their travel.
