WiFi & Connectivity
Stay connected at Tirana International Airport Mother Teresa — free WiFi, eSIM options and local data for Albania.
Airport WiFi at TIA
Albania sits outside EU roam-like-home coverage for most EU SIMs, so check your plan's surcharges — a local Vodafone Albania or ONE Telecommunications eSIM/SIM is an easy, cheap backup.
A reader report describes the free Wi-Fi as inconsistent — some devices get an 'overloaded network' warning and connections drop — so don't rely on it for anything time-sensitive; the Scanderbeg VIP Lounge's Wi-Fi is reported as more dependable if you have access.
