September and October are the sweet spot for Iran travel: mild temperatures across the country, no Nowruz crowds, and fares that sit comfortably in the mid range. Avoid the Persian New Year window (late March) and peak summer heat if you can. Winter is quiet and cheap but cold in northern cities.
| Month | Price Band | Demand | Travel note |
|---|---|---|---|
| January | Budget | Low | Cold in Tehran and Tabriz; Yazd and Shiraz more pleasant. |
| February | Budget | Low | Quietest month; good deals available on most routes. |
| March | Peak | High | Nowruz (Persian New Year) drives sharp fare spikes. |
| April | Mid | Medium | Spring blooms; pleasant temperatures nationwide. |
| May | Mid | Medium | Warm and dry; good for Persepolis and desert cities. |
| June | Mid | Medium | Heat building; central deserts become challenging. |
| July | Peak | High | Peak summer heat; domestic tourism busy in mountain resorts. |
| August | Peak | High | Hottest month; fares elevated from Gulf hubs. |

Imam Khomeini International Airport, IATA IKA · 45 km south of central Tehran.
IKA is Iran's primary international gateway, handling the majority of long-haul and regional international flights. The terminal is large and has improved its facilities in recent years, though immigration queues can be slow during peak arrival waves. Currency exchange counters and SIM card vendors are available in the arrivals hall.
| Transport | Cost (approx) | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Metro (Line 1 extension) | IRR 50,000-80,000 | 60-75 min to central Tehran |
| Taxi (metered or app-based) | IRR 800,000-1,200,000 | 45-75 min depending on traffic |
| Airport shuttle bus | IRR 100,000-150,000 | 60-90 min to Tehran terminals |
Mehrabad International Airport, IATA THR · 8 km west of central Tehran.
Mehrabad is Tehran's older airport and now primarily handles domestic routes, though some regional international services still operate here. Its central location makes it far more convenient for travellers continuing to other Iranian cities. The domestic terminal is compact and generally efficient.
| Transport | Cost (approx) | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Metro (Line 4) | IRR 40,000-60,000 | 20-30 min to city centre |
| Taxi | IRR 300,000-500,000 |

Travellers from further afield typically connect through Gulf or European hubs. You can compare all available routes on Laters.com.
February is generally the cheapest month to fly to Iran, with fares sitting well below the annual average due to low demand and cold weather in northern cities. October is also excellent value, with the added benefit of near-perfect travel conditions across most of the country.

Singapore Travel Agent LicenceTA04059Flying to Iran rewards the well-prepared traveller. Fares from Gulf hubs are genuinely competitive, and booking six to eight weeks out typically secures the best prices. The country suits curious, independent travellers who do their homework on entry requirements and dress codes. Budget travellers will find their money goes remarkably far once on the ground. It is not the trip for last-minute planners or those who prefer frictionless entry.
February gets you to Imam Khomeini International for as little as $180, and even the Istanbul run at $220 for 2h 45m is hardly a splurge. The real cost is patience: queues at IKA move slowly, English signage is patchy, and visa rules shift depending on your passport, so check before you book rather than after. What waits on the other side, Persepolis, Isfahan's Naqsh-e Jahan Square, the wind towers of Yazd, justifies the paperwork. Once you land, a currency that stretches this far is its own reward.
