Dubai is served primarily by Dubai International (DXB), a global hub that typically handles most long-haul and premium carriers like Emirates and many full-service international airlines, and by Al Maktoum International (DWC), which can be used more for low-cost, cargo and overflow traffic. DXB sits about 10–15 km from the city centre and is usually perceived as mid-to-upper-range in fares because it hosts many premium services; the Dubai Metro links Terminal 1 and 3 to downtown in roughly 15–25 minutes for a modest fare, while taxis take about 15–30 minutes depending on traffic and cost more. DWC is farther out (around 35–40 km) and can be cheaper on budget routes; transfers from DWC commonly rely on airport shuttles, coaches or taxis and may take 40–60 minutes. Pros: DXB offers extensive shopping, lounges and frequent connections; DWC can mean lower airport crowds and often cheaper budget options. Cons: DXB can be busy and sometimes slow at peak times, while DWC’s greater distance adds transfer time and fewer public-transport choices.

Tehran is served by two main airports with different roles. Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKA) functions as the principal international gateway and is typically used by full-service carriers and many long-haul flights; it sits about 50–60 km southwest of central Tehran and usually takes 40–75 minutes by express bus, private car, or taxi depending on traffic, with fares commonly higher for door-to-door taxi services. Mehrabad Airport (THR) is closer—around 8–12 km west of downtown—and typically handles domestic and some regional flights, often operated by Iran’s major carriers and lower-cost domestic services. Mehrabad is usually quicker to reach by metro, taxi, or bus (20–45 minutes), often making it more convenient for short trips. Pros: IKA offers modern international facilities and a wider route network; Mehrabad is convenient for domestic travelers and shorter transfers. Cons: IKA’s greater distance from the city center can add time and cost, while Mehrabad can be busier and less geared to international connections.
