Tehran Mehrabad

Scores

Getting there

Mehrabad sits inside the city. A branch of Metro Line 4 splits at Bimeh station and has two airport stops, one for Terminals 1 and 2 and one for Terminals 4 and 6. Snapp and Tapsi pick up outside every terminal.

Terminal and queues

Four domestic terminals, all older and busy. There is no dedicated international terminal; the few foreign flights use the CIP facilities. Security lines can be slow early in the morning.

Connections and transit

Mehrabad is the main domestic hub, so connecting between Iranian cities is easy. Connecting to an international flight means a 45 to 90 minute transfer to Imam Khomeini.

Food, rest, SIM, prayer room

Prayer rooms, cafés and restaurants in every terminal. Food options are basic and prices are above city level.

Delays and cancellations

CAO monthly statistics for Mehrabad show 40 to 56 percent of domestic flights delayed, depending on the month. Early-morning and holiday flights are the worst.
