Getting from CJB to BEY: how the connections work
Coimbatore International Airport has direct international flights primarily to Gulf destinations. Air Arabia and Air India Express both operate CJB–SHJ sectors, and IndiGo flies CJB–DXB. From Sharjah, Air Arabia or flydubai can link onward to Beirut (BEY). From Dubai, Middle East Airlines (MEA) operates DXB–BEY daily, and flydubai also has a BEY service. The total elapsed time — check-in at CJB to landing in BEY — is typically around 9–11 hours with a brisk Gulf layover of 1h 45m to 2h 30m. Booking the DXB connection usually offers more airline options on the BEY leg and a more spacious terminal experience than SHJ for transit.
Fare ranges and when to book
In June 2026, return economy fares on the CJB–BEY routing via Gulf hubs typically start around ₹35,000–₹45,000 and can climb above ₹70,000 during Lebanese summer (July–August) or around Eid holidays when demand surges. The cheapest travel windows are generally November–February (excluding Christmas). Booking 6–10 weeks in advance on platforms like FlightGPT or Skyscanner usually uncovers the best itinerary prices. Note that Lebanon's economic volatility has historically affected MEA's own fare levels; codeshare and interline pricing via Dubai partners tends to be more predictable.
Flight legs timed out
Coimbatore to Dubai (CJB–DXB) takes approximately 3 hours 10 minutes. Dubai to Beirut (DXB–BEY) is a further ≈ 3 hours 30 minutes. Factor in a minimum 1h 45m Dubai transit (though 2h 30m is more comfortable to clear the large DXB Terminal 1 or Terminal 3 transit zone), and door-to-gate from Coimbatore city to a Beirut hotel is realistically 12–14 hours. MEA code-shares with several carriers at DXB, so check your boarding pass in advance to know your terminal and gate cluster before landing in Dubai.
Cabin bags, checked allowance, and MEA fare classes
IndiGo's CJB–DXB economy fare includes 15 kg checked baggage in the base fare; the Super 6E fare bumps this to 20 kg. Middle East Airlines economy on DXB–BEY generally allows 23 kg (one piece) for standard economy. If you book separate tickets (IndiGo + MEA), check baggage will NOT be through-checked — you must collect at DXB and re-check. The June 2026 Air Arabia SHJ routing packages tend to include 20 kg across both sectors when sold as a single itinerary. Carry-on limits at CJB are enforced: a single 7 kg cabin bag; personal items must fit under the seat.
Arriving at Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport
Beirut's only commercial airport (BEY) has a single main terminal building. Immigration queues for non-Arab passport holders can take 30–60 minutes, particularly on weekend evenings when diaspora traffic peaks. Have your visa sticker or entry documentation ready (see visa section below). The baggage hall is compact; reclaim usually takes 20–40 minutes. Official metered taxis are available outside arrivals; negotiate the fare in advance or ask the information desk for the fixed-rate taxi tariff into Beirut city. Journey into central Beirut (Hamra, Downtown) is about 20–30 minutes depending on traffic — Beirut's traffic can be unpredictable.
Lebanon entry and visa for Indian passport holders
Indian passport holders require a visa to enter Lebanon. There is no eVisa system; visas are typically obtained at the Lebanese embassy in New Delhi or the consulate in Mumbai, or through a sponsor letter arrangement. Some travellers report obtaining a VoA at BEY under sponsorship arrangements, but this is not guaranteed — it is strongly advised to secure a pre-approved visa stamp before travel. Processing takes approximately 5–10 working days. The standard tourist visa is free of charge (verify latest at the Lebanese embassy). Lebanon's entry rules can change with short notice; always confirm at /visas and check your airline's TIMATIC before departing.
What Beirut offers the Indian traveller
Beirut is one of the Arab world's most cosmopolitan cities — known for its food scene, nightlife, and Mediterranean waterfront. The Corniche promenade, the National Museum of Beirut, and the reconstructed Downtown (Solidere) district are highlights. Day trips to Jeita Grotto (one of the world's largest cave systems), Byblos (one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities), and the Cedars of God in the Qadisha Valley can all be done from Beirut. The best time to visit is May–June or September–October when weather is warm but not oppressive. Avoid July–August if possible — it is peak season with crowds and elevated prices for both flights and accommodation.
