Tehran is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Imam Khomeini International (IKA) is the primary international gateway, handling most long-haul and many full-service carriers, and can be pricier on average than domestic-focused options; it sits about 45–70 km southwest of central Tehran with motorway or express bus links taking roughly 45–90 minutes depending on traffic (airport buses and taxis are common, fares vary widely). Mehrabad (THR) is closer—around 8–12 km west—and typically handles domestic and regional flights with many budget and national carriers; road or Metro connections take about 20–40 minutes. Pros: IKA offers international facilities and more services, while THR is more convenient for city access; cons: IKA’s distance can add time and cost, and both can be affected by Tehran’s heavy traffic.

Ben Gurion Airport (TLV) is Israel’s main international gateway and typically functions as the country’s full-service hub, handling most long-haul and regional carriers alongside national airline services. Located about 20–25 km southeast of central Tel Aviv-Yafo, it can be reached by fast train in roughly 15–25 minutes or by taxi and car in around 20–40 minutes depending on traffic; fares vary from moderate public-transit rates to higher taxi fares. Passenger facilities are generally comprehensive, with lounges and duty-free shopping, though peak times can mean busy security and border-control lines. Pros: broad connectivity and frequent public-transit links; cons: can be crowded and subject to variable road traffic. Sde Dov Airport (formerly SDV) was historically a domestic and short-haul airport nearer to Tel Aviv’s city center, mainly serving local and regional flights on lower-cost operators; it has been closed for commercial flights in recent years as operations consolidated at Ben Gurion. Its former location in the city made ground transfers quick—often under 15 minutes by car or bus—offering convenience for short hops when it was operational. Pros when active: proximity and speed; cons: limited international services and smaller terminal facilities compared with major hubs. If you’re seeking current international options for Tel Aviv, Ben Gurion is typically the operative choice.

In different months, ticket prices from Tehran to Tel Aviv-Yafo vary: minimum — $406 (September 2026), maximum — $420 (October 2026). Typically, the flight costs $413–$420.
