Abu Dhabi International (AUH) serves as the emirate’s primary international gateway and a regional hub, handling a mix of full-service carriers such as Etihad and a range of international airlines. It’s located roughly 30–40 km from the city center, with road transfers by taxi or ride-hail typically taking 30–45 minutes depending on traffic; airport shuttle and limited public bus services can take longer but are usually cheaper. Fares can be moderate to high for taxis and budget-friendly for buses. The terminal is modern and comfortable with duty-free shopping and lounges, while longer transfer times and occasional peak congestion can be a downside for tight connections.

Tehran is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKA) is the primary international gateway and usually handles most long-haul and flag-carrier flights; it’s located about 30–50 km southwest of the city center, with transfer times typically 40–70 minutes by taxi or airport shuttle (fares can vary widely). Mehrabad Airport (THR) functions mainly as Tehran’s domestic and some regional hub, closer to the city at roughly 8–12 km west of central Tehran and usually reachable in 20–40 minutes by car or city bus at modest cost. Expect a mix of full-service and regional carriers at IKA, while THR typically serves budget-conscious and domestic operators. Pros: IKA offers broader international connectivity, whereas THR is more convenient for quick domestic trips. Cons: both can be affected by heavy traffic to/from the city and varying levels of terminal comfort and amenities.
