Domestic flights in Iran are pretty popular since the country is so vast and the cities are far from each other. Moreover, the long bus rides and the longer train trips might not be the best options for those with a short time limit. The 16 active Iranian airlines fly 400 times a day on average. As a foreigner passenger in Iran, you need to know about the baggage allowance for each airline before you get in trouble at the airport.
