Tehran is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKA) functions as the city’s principal international gateway and a hub for long-haul and flag-carrier services; it’s typically used by full-service and some regional carriers and can be perceived as mid-range to premium for international fares. IKA is about 45–60 km south of central Tehran — expect 40–70 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, with fares usually in the mid-range for airport transfers; shuttle buses and private transfers are also common. Pros: modern international facilities and a wide route network; cons: distance from the center and variable road congestion. Mehrabad Airport (THR) mainly handles domestic and some regional flights, and is typically served by Iran’s domestic carriers; fares are usually competitive for short-haul routes. Located much closer to the city (roughly 8–15 km west of downtown), Mehrabad can be reached in 20–40 minutes by taxi or metro connection, with lower transfer costs compared with IKA. Pros: convenience for domestic travel and shorter transfer times; cons: older terminals and limited international options.

Moscow is served by several airports that together cover international, domestic and low-cost traffic. Sheremetyevo (SVO) is the city’s main international hub and typically handles most long-haul and premium carriers; it sits about 30–35 km northwest of the center and can be reached by Aeroexpress train in roughly 35–45 minutes or by taxi in 40–70 minutes depending on traffic, with rail fares usually moderate and taxis varying by provider. Domodedovo (DME), around 40–45 km south, often serves a mix of full-service and budget airlines and connects to the city via Aeroexpress (about 45–60 minutes) or road links; it can feel more budget-friendly for some routes. Vnukovo (VKO), roughly 25–35 km southwest, is commonly used by low-cost and charter operators and offers shorter road transfer times of about 30–60 minutes; Aeroexpress also links it to the center in approximately 35–50 minutes. Zhukovsky (ZIA) is a newer, smaller airport east of the city used mainly for some low-cost and seasonal international services and can be 40–60+ minutes by car depending on traffic. Pros of these options include frequent rail connections (Aeroexpress) and a wide airline mix across airports; cons can include lengthy transfers in peak traffic and variable service levels at secondary airports. Travel times and fares can fluctuate with traffic, time of day and service choice.

The cost of a one-way flight from Tehran to Moscow ranges from $143 (October 2025) to $199 (September 2026). On average, the ticket price is about $158–$300.
