Iran Air

Iran Air only operates from one city of Pakistan and that is Karachi where it has flights every Wednesday. The flights are always late and it has become a routine for frequent flyers last time I travelled it was 3 hours late! The aircraft used for international routes are old Boeings or Airbus A-300s and there is almost no onboard entertainment. For domestic travels Iran Air uses the name of Iran Air Tours The aircrafts used are mostly old Russian aircraft and almost every time I travel the trip has been a jerky and turbulent one - specially the landings. Only snacks like juice pistachios and cakes are offered during domestic flights. The airports all over Iran are very simple but are neat and clean. One thing must be admitted that Iran Air is very cheap - whether travelling international or domestic routes as compared to other countries airlines. All in all I would suggest travelling Iran Air just for the sake of adventure and fun - if not for anything else.

I fly with a majority of Iranian carriers such as Mahan Air Kish Air and Asseman. Out of them Iran Air still has her prestige in being the countries national carrier. The food onboard is terrific but unfortunately all it lacks is customer service. I don't blame Iran Air for her old fleet as this is due to the sanction by America. My flight from Dubai to Tehran (A310) was one to remember as I had been onboard the same aircraft a year before but with a different livery (former Emirates).

I have flown Iranair Paris to Tehran and back. The airplane was very old (B747) but the economy class seats had more knee room than even some business classes and certainly more than BA and KLM Economy class on long haul flights. The food was also good and plentiful. The onboard entertainment was very poor - a Farsi film shown by way of an old fashioned projector.
