The following airlines operate regular services between Agra and Tehran. Each airline offers different fare classes, baggage allowances, and onboard services.

Full-service international carriers typically include meals, checked baggage (20-30 kg), and in-flight entertainment. Compare the total cost including baggage on FareEagle — sometimes a full-service fare with included baggage is cheaper than a low-cost fare plus add-ons.

Best time to fly

The best time to visit Tehran is during the spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November). The weather is pleasant during these months, avoiding the extreme heat of summer and the cold of winter. Also, Nowruz, the Iranian New Year, falls in March, offering a festive atmosphere.

Getting from the airport to Tehran

Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKA) is located about 30 kilometers southwest of Tehran. You can take a taxi to the city center for approximately 800,000 to 1,200,000 Iranian Rial. The Tehran Metro also connects the airport to the city, which is a more affordable option.

Food to try
