Recent Traveller Feedback
Flew economy from Tehran to Istanbul with Iran Air. They weighed my hand baggage at check-in and it came to 5.7kg, over the 5kg limit. They made me repack or check it in. The 5kg carry-on limit is strictly enforced at Imam Khomeini Airport so do not overpack.
Travelled economy from Rome to Tehran with 34kg of luggage. The free allowance is 30kg on the weight concept, so I went 4kg over. They charged 15 EUR per kilogram excess at the airport, total 60 EUR. With weight system every extra kilo adds up quickly.
60 EUR
Transited through Tehran Imam Khomeini Airport. Security is very thorough with liquid checks — every container gets inspected and anything over 100ml gets confiscated on the spot. They also pulled out all my electronics for separate screening. Budget extra time for security when connecting through IKA.
