To examine precisely which air-travel destinations or which airline have more expensive tickets, it is necessary to know how much the minimum charge they receive per kilometer is. In this way we obtain a uniform index that enables us to compare prices.
Taking this index into account and after examining a number of popular domestic and foreign destinations, we find that Damascus, Baghdad and Najaf are the most expensive destinations and Istanbul, Ankara and Abu Dhabi are, respectively, the cheapest foreign destinations.
On the basis of prices on the ticket-sales website trip.ir and in the current period (Azar (November–December) 1402 (2023/24)), among domestic air-travel destinations, Isfahan and Ahvaz are the most expensive destinations and Bandar Abbas and Kish are, respectively, the cheapest popular domestic destinations in Iran.
Qatar Airways is by a wide margin the most expensive option for foreign travel. This airline charges 23 thousand tomans per kilometer of distance, 2 times the second rank on this list, which is Germany's WDL Aviation, and which takes 11 thousand tomans per kilometer of distance.
Pegasus, Iran Airtour and Turkish Airlines are, respectively, the cheapest airlines for foreign travel and all three are in approximately the same price range.
