Cheap flights from Sydney to Beirut from $643

On trips to Beirut from Sydney, you’ll depart from Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport (SYD), which is the city’s international air hub and the primary base for Qantas. It’s located in the city’s Mascot suburb, only a short drive south of the centre of Sydney, and will only take you about 15min to get there. Otherwise, you can just catch the N20 bus for the 8 km trip, which will take around half an hour. You’ll be landing in Beirut at Lebanon’s only international airport, Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport (BEY). It’s a mere 10-15min drive to the centre of Beirut, which is a little over 6 km away. There is no bus service from the airport, so your options are to hire a car or take a taxi, both of which are easy to arrange.
