Aurangabad Airport (IXU) is served by IndiGo and Air India with flights to Mumbai (BOM T2) taking ≈ 1h 10m. From BOM, travellers connect onto Emirates (BOM–DXB) or Qatar Airways (BOM–DOH) for the Gulf leg, then fly Dubai–Tehran on flydubai or Mahan Air (≈ 2h 30m), or Doha–Tehran on Qatar Airways (≈ 2h 30m). A total layover of 3–5 hours at Mumbai + Gulf hub is realistic. The full door-to-door time from Aurangabad to Tehran typically falls between 8 and 11 hours depending on layover lengths.
IndiGo offers the most frequent Aurangabad–Mumbai service, with typically 2–4 departures per day. From Mumbai, Gulf connections to Dubai depart multiple times daily on Emirates, Air India, and IndiGo, giving good flexibility for same-day connections. flydubai operates Dubai–Tehran several times weekly; verify exact days at booking. Doha–Tehran on Qatar Airways is also available several times per week. Building a minimum 3-hour buffer at Mumbai for the international transfer is essential since you will clear customs and re-check into the international terminal (BOM T2).
The Aurangabad–Mumbai flight is ≈ 1h 10m and is one of the most reliable short-haul routes in Maharashtra, typically operated by IndiGo or Air India on ATR-72 or A320 aircraft. Fare for this leg is ≈ ₹2,000–₹5,000 one-way depending on advance purchase. There is also a road option (Pune Expressway to Mumbai, ≈ 5–6h), but flying is strongly preferred when connecting to an international flight to avoid missing the connection. Arrive at Aurangabad Airport at least 90 minutes before the domestic departure.
Return economy fares from Aurangabad to Tehran total ≈ ₹35,000–₹70,000 as of June 2026, combining the domestic IXU–BOM segment and the international BOM–IKA routing.

IndiGo allows 20 kg checked; Emirates 23 kg; flydubai 20 kg on standard economy. Add-on baggage on flydubai costs approximately AED 50–100 per extra piece. Business class connections on Emirates or Qatar offer 30–40 kg allowances.
Tehran's Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKA) is the main international gateway, ≈ 35 km from the city. Metro Line 1 connects IKA to central Tehran in about 40 minutes (fare ≈ IRR equivalent of a few dollars). Taxis are plentiful but negotiate fare in advance or use Snapp (Iran's Uber equivalent). Aurangabad Airport (IXU) is small — check-in counters open 90 minutes before departure and close 45 minutes prior. There is one terminal for domestic operations; international bookings route via Mumbai or Hyderabad.
Indian passport holders need a visa for Iran. The most commonly used option is a visa on arrival at IKA (30-day single entry, ≈ €75–€80), though the process can take 2–4 hours. A pre-arranged visa from the Iranian Embassy in Mumbai or Delhi is faster on arrival — get an authorisation code from an Iranian travel agency and present it at the airport visa desk. Note: holders of Israeli stamps may face entry refusal. Check current diplomatic status and rules at /visas before booking, as Iran's entry policy can shift with international developments. Confirm current rules before booking.
Iran is one of the world's most underrated destinations for cultural tourism. Tehran itself offers the Golestan Palace (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the Grand Bazaar, and the National Museum.

Shiraz and Persepolis are other flagship sites. Best months to visit are April–May and September–October, when temperatures are comfortable (18–28°C in Tehran).
Total journey time is ≈ 8–11 hours. The Aurangabad–Mumbai domestic leg is ≈ 1h 10m, and the Mumbai–Tehran leg (via Dubai or Doha) adds ≈ 5h 30m of flying plus 2–3 hours of layover.
