- On time
- No per-airline Varesh figure in the official reports we could verify; a small 737 Classic operator based in Sari. Middle score pending data.
- Aircraft and comfort
- Two Boeing 737-300 and three 737-500 per Alibaba (Wikipedia mirrors say up to eight). All built in the 1990s or earlier; no MDs.
- Baggage allowance
- 20 kg checked plus a 5 kg cabin bag; excess 1% of the fare per kilo.
- Service and food
- Single-class 737 Classics with a snack. No independent rating.
- Changes and refunds
- Alibaba says Varesh penalties run from 10% to 95% of the fare depending on class and timing, under the national table; charter seats only through the seller.
What is good
- Direct flights from Sari to Mashhad and the south
- No MD aircraft, so unaffected by the MD sales ban
What is not
- Penalties can reach 95% close to departure
- Small fleet, few backup aircraft
Tips
- Cancel early; the penalty climbs steeply in the last day
