Take plenty of books and time killers with you as delays are just the norm. Try newly opened Burgerland breakfast menu, they also have tne best coffee compared to the others available thereUpvote90DownvoteUpvoted Dec 30, 2024
Get a seat near the plane's exit to beat the queues. Visa process is smooth, ask staff for instructions as rules change. Generally: 1) Visa desk, 2) Insurance, 3) Bank/Payment, 4) Visa desk, 5) WaitUpvote94DownvoteUpvoted Jan 22
Katya SviridovaJuly 24, 2016UsefulTip-go straight to business lounge AND DO NOT LEAVE IT.It's free for first 2h,after 40$ per 3h,includs buffet.Latte in a coffeeshop costs 10$,so do the math+it's the only place here WITHserviceUpvote91DownvoteUpvoted 3 days ago- Try to be there 4hours before your flight , passport gates are very busy . If you want to stay there u should choose CIP lounge.Upvote73Downvote
Based on our country it has very limited facility and also there are very liitle gates in number,beside there is no good resturant in here,smoke room is awfulUpvote22DownvoteUpvoted 4 weeks ago- There are two passport control points and baggage claim areas - pick the right one for your flight, or you'll need the help of the friendly uniformed fellows to make it to the other side.Upvote10Downvote
If you are departing just try the burger land, it’s the best you can get in there 😂Upvote9Downvote
what is wrong with the internet here? why just 60 minutes free? all around the world offers the internet unlimited time.Upvote8Downvote
Ali RezaSeptember 4, 2018I respect Turkish airlines. It has an updated multimedia and entertainment system. Boeing 737-800 was magnificent . I witnessed 3 broken suitcases including my own handle.

It’s the biggest and most important airport in Iran and it has a huge parking lot and also on the other side of airport there is Novotel hotel that you can stay there

Try to get to your luggage as soon as possible because here no one cares for your luggage and its safety. I'm sorry to tell that but it's better to know.Upvote6Downvote
It's usually chaotic, although recently less, due to the downturns.Upvote6Downvote
Farzad ParviziApril 1, 2017Needs a lot improvement, i hope one day it could compete with regional hubs such as IST and DXB. Bdw Wifi is free. 4/10.Upvote7Downvote
Small, crowded and messy,,,U may even find ur baggages on any bar delivery without any informing,,,really not deserve to be Iran's international airport,,,Upvote6Downvote
shabnam sinaJanuary 5, 2017It's not big enough for an international airport and its not well designed .Upvote5Downvote- They're great at causing chaos without reason. Gold card holders of most airlines can use the business terminal entrance (right hand side), provided anyone's working. Stay calm and try not to think.Upvote1Downvote
Airport is accessible from Tehran by Car, taxi and bus via the Tehran-Qom Freeway. An airport access road connects the freeway to the airport terminal.

Tom🇮🇹 LordSeptember 4, 2012There is smoking area at the -1 floor and u can buy something from there with the cheaper price than ground floor :-)Upvote9Downvote
parmiss ehteshamiJuly 12, 2018It is always crowded and the behaviour of staff in unbearable! The cafe is expensive but with nice staff. It is an unavoidable, not so amusing experience.Upvote2Downvote
Shayshay ZMay 26, 2014It's sad to see one of the worst architecture here giving the fact that Iran has the best Designers & architects. It's a shame!!!Upvote9Downvote
Chenghao FuNovember 24, 2012The DFS at this Iranian airport probably offers the cheapest dunhill products around the globe. I bought a dunhill moneyclip here for less than $160. The same thing sells for at least $255 elsewhere.

Embarrassing airport. I apologize to anyone who has to use this disgrace.Upvote4Downvote
The gloomiest, most chaotic international airport I´ve ever been to. Except the CIP lounge which is a bit more acceptable.Upvote2Downvote
Ali ASeptember 17, 2017Staff have become politer than be4. Some services are also now electronically done, saving time and nerves. Once you check in and hand in your luggage it can be more fun. Cafes & restaurants: average.UpvoteDownvote
Free wifi but obvious lack of different kinds of foods and snacks especially after passport control :|Upvote5Downvote
I paid the travel tax so easy with the self-service payment :) lol!Upvote10Downvote
Fıtık İstanbul®November 23, 2016back to the Istanbul. well designed CIP hall but cold ❄. staff are very friendly. good bye TehranUpvote2Downvote
Please remember to get US dollars or sterling pound. do not rely on the ATM. Iran does not recognize VISA or Mastercard or any card for that matter. Please remember to carry sufficient money.Upvote1Downvote
MARYAM ANovember 23, 2018I got stuck inside here because of heavy snow about one year ago and it was terrible because of low facilities and now still no improvement as an international airport!

Saeid KhorMarch 24, 2017One of the worst airport of all time toilets do not even start with the delays and waiting for lugages..all other airports in the world make sure when you get down to claim your lugages are there but.Upvote2Downvote
JeyNovember 22, 2018If you have flight on IKA airport, do not hesitate to spend little more money fo getting services from CIP lounge, the regular terminal is so crowded and be sure you go crazy 😉UpvoteDownvote- Mahdi HosseiniMarch 23, 2019Iranian, be careful. It should be at least 15mins gap between the tax payment time and the time you're passing the passport control gate for data syncing between the bank and police officer computer.UpvoteDownvote
Despite its massive size, used airport area is very limited. Facilities are under-developed and untended. Very crowded and desorganized main entrance and security passes. Wi-Fi doesnt work. Try CIP.Upvote4Downvote
Beautiful CIP. Superb. Easy check in. With delicious foods.

Rasoo Tale MasoulehNovember 15, 2016I have planned for business trip to Soleimaniah but accidentally meet the passengers to karbala and it's very crowded. I got crazy.

Hirad BehbahaniJanuary 7, 2022Ubiquitously tied with people leaving this country; a bittersweet place if you ask me.Upvote3Downvote

Fahim RahimiNovember 14, 2013Text 1 to 10004542 and u'll get a username and password for internet connection. Not working with Irancell numbers!!Upvote6Downvote- Passport control is notoriously slow, and the "Foreigners" / "Iranians" signs can't always be trusted. Make yourself visible.Upvote1Downvote
Artem LoginovOctober 18, 2010Tea from samovar for 0,5$ in the buffet. Great places for sleeping or watching the planes' maneuvering on the ground floor of duty-free area.Upvote18Downvote
I believe that Tehran needs a much bigger International airportUpvote4Downvote
