Tehran is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKA) functions as the primary international gateway and long-haul hub for full-service carriers; flights here can be relatively economical on international routes but often involve longer transfer times to the city. It sits about 45–60 km southwest of central Tehran, with travel options including long-distance buses or shuttle services (roughly 60–90 minutes depending on traffic) and taxis or ride-hailing trips that can take 50–90 minutes; fares and transfer times vary by operator. Pros: modern facilities and direct intercontinental connections; cons: notable distance from central districts and occasional congestion at peak times. Mehrabad Airport (THR) is Tehran’s older, closer airport that typically handles domestic and some regional services, operated mainly by Iranian carriers and budget-focused flights. Located roughly 8–14 km west of downtown, it usually offers quick road access — about 20–40 minutes by taxi or local bus in normal traffic — and is often the cheaper option for internal routes. Pros: proximity to the city center and faster ground transfers; cons: more limited international connections and older infrastructure compared with the international airport.

Heydar Aliyev International (GYD) is Baku’s principal international gateway and typically handles most long-haul and regional flights, so it functions as the city’s main hub for full-service carriers and national airline operations. Low-cost and regional services can also be found, though premium carriers often dominate intercontinental routes. The airport sits about 20–25 km southeast of Baku’s city center; road transfer by taxi or rideshare usually takes around 25–40 minutes depending on traffic, while airport buses and private shuttles can cost modest fares and take about 40–60 minutes. Pros: modern terminals, reasonable connectivity and full-service facilities. Cons: distance from downtown and occasional congestion at peak times.

The cost of a one-way flight from Tehran to Baku ranges from $111 (October 2026) to $487 (May 2027). On average, the ticket price is about $286–$587.
