Yerevan is the Caucasus at its most affordable, and Armenia's airport quietly reaches far — €95 to neighbouring Georgia, cheap Morocco and Egypt routes, and a surprising long-haul spread from New York to the Maldives and Mauritius.
Zvartnots Airport (EVN) is about 12km west of the city, and the cheap way in is the 201 Airport Express bus: it runs to France Square in the centre in 30–40 minutes for just AMD 300 (about €0.70), paid to the driver, every 30 minutes through the day. If you’d rather a taxi, skip the touts outside (who quote tourists triple) and use an app like GG or Yandex — the real fare into the centre is only around AMD 3,000 (€6). The bus is the budget pick; an app taxi is the easy one.
As a base, Yerevan combines genuinely cheap regional flying with a long-haul reach that belies the city’s size — Armenia’s diaspora connections and a competitive low-cost scene open up the Gulf, India and far beyond.
The regional steals
Three fares anchor cheap Yerevan. Georgia (Tbilisi) at €95 is the headline — the neighbouring Caucasus capital, a short hop, absurdly cheap — with Marrakech (€159) reaching Morocco and Istanbul (€185) the great connecting hub. Agadir (€210) and Cairo (€261) round out North Africa. These are the impulse routes: short, cheap escapes to mountains, souks or the Nile, for less than a weekend’s spending.
The Gulf, India and the Red Sea
The mid-tier reaches the Gulf and subcontinent. Dubai (€399 with a bag) bridges to the Gulf and onward everywhere, while Sharm El Sheikh (€358 with a bag) reaches the Egyptian Red Sea for diving and beaches. India opens up too: Colombo (€511), Chennai (€538) and Hyderabad (€583) cover Sri Lanka and the south. These turn Yerevan from a Caucasus city-break airport into a genuine stepping stone east.
The long-haul surprises
Here’s where Yerevan shows off. New York (€549) is a remarkable transatlantic fare from the Caucasus, and the dream routes are striking: the Maldives (€617), Punta Cana (€788) in the Caribbean, Zanzibar (€805) and the ceiling, Mauritius (€1,041 with a bag). None are impulse-cheap, but each is a remarkable connection for Armenia — and far cheaper than routing through a European hub to reach them.
Bag fares: mixed by route
The split is route-dependent. Sharm El Sheikh, Dubai and Mauritius include a checked bag. The cheap regional hops (Georgia, Marrakech, Istanbul, Agadir, Cairo) and most of the long-haul (Sal, Colombo, Chennai, New York, Hyderabad, Maldives, Punta Cana, Zanzibar) are shown as base fares — likely cabin-led on the lowest class. Add a bag at booking if you’ll need one.
