Cheap flights to Tunis (TUN)

As Morocco continues to be overrun with tourists, more people are heading for Tunisia for that authentic North African experience without the huge crowds. The capital of Tunis is a big attraction itself, partly as a gateway to the nearby ruins of Carthage. From Europe it's usually possible to get cheap flights to Tunis from major hubs, and those coming from North America can often get low airfare transferring through those cities. Using Webjet you’ll be able to quickly find the cheapest flights on any airline as well as the best days to fly for the absolute lowest price airfare possible. Tunis is becoming popular with Europeans who are looking for a warm winter holiday, but the airport is also busy with Tunisians who are now living abroad and are making the trip back and forth. These things combine to create quite a bit of demand, especially out of the UK and France, so the facility is busier than one might otherwise expect.

Airfare to Tunis

Finding cheap flights to Tunis usually means finding a promotional sale by one of the many airlines that serve the city. You can reach Tunis directly from most of the major hubs in southern Europe, so you'll usually have your choice of carriers at any given time. From North America it can be a bit more challenging, but cheap flights are still possible. If you don't see a fare that suits you it's sometimes possible to find one flight into London or Paris and then another flight to Tunis on another carrier.

Tunis-Carthage International Airport is 8 km from the city center and it's rather modest by international standards. There are several dining and shopping options as well as banks and ATMs. There's only one terminal so finding your way around won't be difficult, but the second language of the airport is French rather than English so be prepared to follow those signs when you arrive.

Tunis Airport ground transportation

Taxis at Tunis Airport are cheap if you are able to find an honest one to negotiate with, but if you just get in line and accept their bid you'll often pay 3 or 4 times the going rate. Ask for help in the terminal and you'll be able to get a better deal. Shuttle buses also go into the city on a regular basis every 15 to 30 minutes, and only take half an hour each way.
