Tehran is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKA) is the city’s primary international gateway and a hub for long-haul and full-service carriers; it’s typically perceived as the more modern, premium option. IKA lies about 45–55 km southwest of central Tehran, with travel times usually ranging from 45 minutes to 90 minutes depending on traffic; options include airport express buses (roughly 50–70 minutes), taxis and ride-hailing services (fares vary by operator), and private transfers. Mehrabad Airport (THR) handles most domestic and some regional flights and is often the budget- and convenience-focused choice for internal connections. It’s located much closer to the city — around 8–12 km west of downtown — so ground transfers commonly take 20–40 minutes by taxi or metro (shorter off-peak), with lower fares than longer journeys to IKA. Pros: IKA offers broader international connectivity and newer passenger facilities; THR wins on proximity and quicker city access. Cons: IKA can be time-consuming to reach in heavy traffic and may feel remote for short trips, while THR may be busier and less equipped for long-haul international services.

Dubai is served primarily by Dubai International (DXB), a major global hub that typically handles most long-haul and premium carriers including Emirates and many international airlines. DXB is usually perceived as mid-to-high priced for on-site services and lies about 10–15 km from Downtown Dubai; the Dubai Metro Red Line connects terminal 1 and 3 with roughly 15–25 minute rides to the city center and fares usually range from low single digits to around AED 10–15, while taxis take 15–30 minutes depending on traffic and cost more. Pros: extensive amenities, many lounges and frequent international connections. Cons: can be busy and spreads out requiring longer walks and transfers. Al Maktoum International (DWC) in the south is often positioned as a growing, lower-cost and cargo-friendly alternative used by some budget and charter carriers as services expand. Located about 40–60 km from central Dubai, travel times can be 40–60 minutes by car; shuttle services and some bus routes can be available but are typically slower and vary by operator, with fares generally lower than peak taxi rates. Pros: quieter terminals and simpler navigation. Cons: farther from the city and fewer direct public-transport options, making transfers less convenient for tight schedules.

The cost of a one-way flight from Tehran to Dubai ranges from $80 (October 2025) to $216 (April 2026). On average, the ticket price is about $137–$320.
