Zurich Airport (ZRH) is the city’s main international hub and typically the gateway for Swiss International Air Lines, major European carriers and a selection of low-cost and leisure operators. Positioned about 10–12 km north of central Zurich, it usually offers very frequent S-Bahn and regional train services that reach the main station in roughly 10–15 minutes (tickets typically fall into a modest CHF range), while trams and buses to inner-city stops can take around 30–40 minutes. Taxis and shared transfers are faster but can be noticeably more expensive. The airport is modern and efficient with good long‑haul and transfer options, though it can feel pricey and busy at peak times and parking or ancillary services may add extra cost.

Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKA) is Tehran’s main international gateway and typically handles long‑haul and regional flights with a mix of full‑service carriers and national operators. Located roughly 30–40 km southwest of central Tehran, transfers can take about 40–90 minutes depending on traffic. Ground options usually include dedicated airport buses (about 60–90 minutes, fares generally around USD 1–3), taxis or app‑based rides (45–90 minutes, commonly USD 15–35) and private transfers at higher rates. Pros: more international connections and newer amenities; cons: greater distance from downtown and potentially longer transfer times in peak traffic. Mehrabad Airport (THR) primarily serves domestic and short‑haul routes and is typically the choice for internal Iranian carriers and lower‑cost domestic services. It sits much closer to the city—about 8–12 km from central Tehran—so travel times are often 20–50 minutes. Common transport methods include city buses and taxis (approximately 20–40 minutes, fares commonly USD 2–8), and shuttle/metro links or private transfers with low to moderate fares. Pros: convenient for quick domestic connections and shorter transfers; cons: older terminals and fewer international amenities compared with IKA.
