Passengers flying from Yerevan with Qatar Airways will depart from the rapidly expanding Zvartnots International Airport, which is an excellent starting point for any journey. Located just under 12 kilometres from the centre of Yerevan, it sits at the crossroads between two continents. 

Passengers will find it to be incredibly efficient and well run, staffed by friendly and welcoming professionals who go that extra mile to make the start of your trip as pleasant as possible.

Transportation and parking

The quickest and easiest way to travel from the centre of Yerevan to the airport is by taxi. These are plentiful, very affordable and can be easily arranged by your hotel reception or concierge service. Buses also run to the airport. 

All of the major car hire services have offices in and around Yerevan, so car hire is a popular alternative. However, if you are arriving at the airport by car then bear in mind that parking is somewhat limited, with short-term provision for up to 600 vehicles. 

The spaces fill up very quickly, so it may be advisable to make alternative arrangements for your vehicle. 

At the airport

Passengers flying from Yerevan with Qatar Airways will depart from the International Departures area in Terminal 2. There are 42 check-in booths and eight gates, three of which are accessed by bus while the remaining five are reached by jetways. 

Security checks are rigorous as with all airports, so allow around one and a half hours before your flight is due to depart to check-in and clear security checks.

Facilities and amenities

Terminal 2 has excellent facilities, including a comfortable lounge in front of the glazed façade that offers visitors a panoramic view over the tarmac and beyond to Mount Ararat. 

The terminal has cafés and food outlets serving local and international cuisine, as well as fast food outlets for snacks. 

There is a business lounge on the 4th floor, providing first class and business class travellers with all the amenities they need, including Wi-Fi.

Tourist attractions

Boston is the oldest city in the United States, and has plenty of locations to explore that will give you a greater understanding of the history and culture of the country. One of the best ways to pack in as much historical sight-seeing as possible in one go is to follow the 2.5mile-long ‘Freedom Trail’, which takes you on a tour of 16 of the city’s most important historical locations. The trail includes stops at Paul Revere's House, Faneuil Hall, the Old North Church, and the old State House. Simply follow the line of red paint or red bricks in the pavements, and look out for plaques at the various historical sites.

Boston’s cultural scene is second only to New York, and the Boston Symphony is a world-renowned orchestra and internationally recognised as one of the best on the planet. Their home is at Symphony Hall, and on certain days discounted ‘rush tickets’ are available, making a visit to the symphony affordable for everyone. The hall is shared by the Boston Pops Orchestra, who also put on performances during the summer months and blend classical and popular music.

During the summer one of the most popular open spaces for visitors and Bostonians alike is the Boston Common and Public Garden. This is the oldest municipal park in America, and is well known for its famous Swan boats and for having the world’s shortest suspension bridge. It’s a great starting point for touring some of central Boston’s popular tourist spots, or for a lazy picnic on a sunny afternoon.
