Shiraz International Airport (SYZ) serves as the main gateway to Shiraz and the Fars region, functioning as a regional international hub rather than a large global transfer center. It typically handles a mix of national carriers and regional airlines, with occasional international charters; fares can lean toward mid-range depending on season and route. The airport sits about 15–20 km northeast of the city center; taxis and ride-hailing services usually take 25–40 minutes and can be expected to cost modestly by local standards, while public buses and shared minibuses offer cheaper but slower options (around 45–60 minutes). Pros: relatively compact terminal and straightforward transfers. Cons: fewer long-haul options and limited premium lounges compared with major global hubs.

Tehran is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Imam Khomeini International (IKA) functions as the primary international gateway for long-haul and many regional carriers, typically hosting full-service airlines and some international low-cost operators; it’s about 45–60 km south of central Tehran, with travel times usually 45–90 minutes by taxi or airport shuttle depending on traffic, and fares often ranging from moderate to higher for private transfer options. Mehrabad Airport (THR) is closer—around 10–15 km west of the city center—and usually handles domestic and regional flights on local carriers, making it a common choice for shorter, budget-conscious trips. Ground options between the airports and downtown include taxis, app-based rides, express buses and occasional rail connections; journey times and costs can vary considerably at peak hours. Pros: IKA offers broader international connectivity and newer facilities, while Mehrabad’s proximity can mean quicker city access and lower short-hop fares. Cons: transfers to/from IKA can be longer and more subject to traffic; Mehrabad may feel more crowded and offer fewer international services.

In different months, ticket prices from Tehran to Shiraz vary: minimum — $61 (January 2026), maximum — $249 (December 2025). Typically, the flight costs $62–$108.
