Erbil International Airport (EBL) serves as the main international gateway for Iraq’s Kurdistan Region and typically functions as a regional hub rather than a large global transfer center. You’ll find a mix of full-service carriers and several budget or regional operators linking to Middle Eastern and some European destinations; fares can feel competitive for the region but vary by season. The airport lies about 12–15 km southeast of Erbil city center, with taxis taking roughly 20–35 minutes depending on traffic and costing in the local fare range; private transfers and hotel shuttles are also common. Pros: relatively modern terminal amenities and direct international connections. Cons: security processing can add time and public transit options are limited compared with bigger hubs.

Baghdad is served mainly by Baghdad International Airport (BGW), the country’s primary international gateway and usual hub for full-service carriers and national airlines, while some budget or regional services may operate from shared terminals. The airport sits roughly 16–20 km south of central Baghdad, with travel times typically around 30–60 minutes depending on traffic and security checkpoints; taxis and private transfers are common, often costing the equivalent of a modest local fare, while organized shuttles or hotel pickups can be pricier. BGW can be perceived as mid-range to premium in terms of facilities and security measures, offering basic passenger comforts though occasional delays and extra screening are possible. Pros include direct international links and decent ground transport options; cons can be variable processing times, limited leisure amenities compared with larger global hubs, and the need to factor in security-related procedures when planning connections.
