Inside the airport
Beirut's airport has a range of telephone, internet and postal facilities:
- The terminal does have wireless internet capability for laptop users, but it’s not free. To use wireless, you’ll need to buy an access card from one of the duty-free shops or the smaller Virgin outlets in the airport. They cost $10 for 75 minutes of internet access.
- International mobiles should automatically connect to one of Lebanon’s two mobile networks. Service can be shaky at peak times, since the country’s telephone infrastructure is in serious need of improvement.
- The airport has its own post office, run by Liban Post, which is located before check-in the main entrance hall. It is only open during normal working hours, and only accessible to passengers who are on the landside of the airport. There are also yellow post-boxes in the airside of the terminal if you need to send letters or postcards.
- Payphones are located throughout Beirut airport, accepting cash and credit cards.
- The airline lounges, located upstairs from the main departures area, have their own business centres which include computers with internet access.
