Frankfurt Airport (FRA) is Germany’s main international hub and a major transfer point for long-haul and European flights, while Frankfurt–Hahn (HHN), though farther away, often serves low-cost carriers and charter services. FRA typically hosts full-service airlines and alliances, so fares can be mid-to-premium compared with budget-only airports; HHN usually offers cheaper options but with added ground travel. FRA sits about 12 km northwest of the city center with fast regional trains (15–20 min) and S-Bahn services (30–35 min including check-in), trams and taxis; fares commonly range from modest public transport ticket prices to higher taxi fares. HHN is roughly 120 km to the west; shuttle buses to Frankfurt take about 1.5–2 hours and can be economical for budget travelers. Pros: FRA provides wide connectivity, efficient transfers and frequent train links; cons: it can be busy and involve longer walking or transfer times between terminals. HHN’s advantage is lower base fares, while the trade-off is longer ground transfers and fewer amenities.

Tehran is served mainly by Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKA) and Mehrabad Airport (THR), each with distinct roles. Imam Khomeini is the principal international gateway located about 45–60 km southwest of central Tehran and typically handles long-haul and most scheduled international carriers; transfer options include airport shuttles, taxis and private transfers with journeys often taking 40–70 minutes depending on traffic and commonly costing more than local fares. Mehrabad sits much closer—around 8–12 km west of the city core—and primarily serves domestic and some regional flights operated by Iranian carriers; metro, buses and short taxi trips usually take 20–40 minutes at lower local fares. Pros: IKA offers fuller international facilities and onward connectivity, while Mehrabad is more convenient for quick domestic transfers. Cons: IKA can involve long surface transfers and variable traffic delays; Mehrabad’s international amenities are limited compared with a main hub.
