    MEA’s conditions to board the evacuation flights:

    • Passengers must have tested negative for COVID-19.
    • Only PCR tests conducted within 3 days of the trip, and in labs recognized by the Lebanese embassy or the hosting countries are acceptable.
    • The PCR examination cannot be replaced by a medical report.
    • The price of round trip travel tickets on these evacuation trips is not refundable unless a positive PCR test result is established. In such cases, the MEA offices must be informed and the reservation canceled at least one day before the flight date in order to redeem the ticket.
    • Lebanese travelers who wish to return can book and purchase their tickets through the MEA website or at MEA offices in the country of departure or through the MEA Call Center 961-1-626999
    • It is advisable to book and buy tickets before the deadline for conducting the PCR Test.

    The MEA notes that “it is not possible to book and travel on the MEA evacuation flights departing from Beirut to London, Paris, Frankfurt, and Madrid except for passengers complying with all regulations of the country of transit or final destination.”

    Additionally, passengers will be seated side by side on aircraft departing from countries conducting PCR tests and ticket prices have been adjusted to reflect this, according to the airline company.
