Planes
Airbus A320-200 and A321neo; average age not verified here.
Scores
- On time
- No on-time figure found. Iran flights were suspended again in July 2026 and the Sharjah-Tehran, Shiraz and Mashhad status is unconfirmed, so timekeeping is secondary to whether the flight exists.
- Aircraft and comfort
- Airbus A320 and A321neo single-aisle fleet; average age not verified in this review, so this score rests on the fleet mix.
- Baggage allowance
- Basic: 10 kg cabin only (7 kg bag plus 3 kg personal item). Value: checked bag included, typically 20 to 30 kg by route. Ultimate: 30 to 40 kg.
- Service and food
- Low-cost: meals sold on board, seats paid on Basic.
- Changes and refunds
- Change and refund rules were not published in the sources we read; low-cost bundles are normally restrictive. Low confidence.
What is good
- Generous 10 kg cabin allowance even on Basic
What is not
- Iran flights suspended in July 2026 with no stable resumption date
- UAE entry and transit refused to Iranian passports
Tips
- Do not plan around Sharjah on an Iranian passport until the UAE rule and the schedule are confirmed
