What does Premium Economy Class offer?
You can bring two pieces of baggage, each weighing 23 kg. The premium class sets itself apart from the well-known economy by having a larger seat pitch and seats with armrests and footrests. Additionally, there is a maximum 2 – 4 – 2 seating configuration. This means you are at most one seat away from the aisle. Moreover, there is a power outlet directly at the seat. Before the flight, you receive a welcome drink, and you can choose your meal from a menu, which is then served on porcelain dishes.
For comfort during the flight, you get an amenity kit with travel accessories (usually a sleep mask, toothbrush, socks…) and a bottle of water.

Destination
Information & Tips for Tehran
Tehran, the capital and largest city of Iran, is a bustling metropolis that blends rich history, vibrant culture, and modern urban life.
Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Tehran is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) when the weather is mild and pleasant. Summers can be hot, and winters are cold with the possibility of snowfall.
Getting There
Tehran Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKA) is the main airport serving the city. From the airport, you can reach the city centre by taxi, airport shuttle, or ride-sharing services. Tehran also has an extensive metro and bus system for convenient intra-city travel.
Sightseeing
Tehran offers a mix of historical landmarks, museums, and modern architecture. The Golestan Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site, showcases Persian art and architecture. The Sa’dabad Complex, another historical site, features a series of palaces and museums.
Cultural Scene
Tehran has a vibrant cultural scene with theatres, galleries, and music venues. The Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art houses an impressive collection of modern and contemporary Iranian art. Niavaran Cultural Center hosts various cultural events and performances.
Mountains and Nature
Tehran is surrounded by mountains, and Tochal, just north of the city, offers opportunities for hiking and skiing in the winter months. Darband, a popular mountain resort area, provides a refreshing escape from the urban hustle.

Information & Tips for Iran
The Islamic Republic of Iran borders on Iraq in the West, Afghanistan and Pakistan in the East. To the South lies the Gulf of Arabia. Since 1979, Iran is a Theocracy. This means that religion plays a huge role in everyday life. As a result, some regulations are much stricter than in Western countries. For example, all women (even foreigners) MUST wear a headscarf in public.
Iran is full of beautiful landscapes and hospitable people. While Western tourists are not common, they are warmly welcomed. Touristically, it is very diverse: You can visit ancient Persian ruins or have a beach vacation on Kish Island. You can even go skiing in the mountainous northern regions.
Best time to Visit
Because it is a geographically very diverse country, there is no ideal time to visit Iran. However, a general piece of advice is not to go there during the holy month of Ramadan. During this time, public life comes to a standstill. You cannot buy food or drinks in public between sunrise and sunset.
Visa & Immigration Rules
EU-Citizens need a visa to enter Iran. If you arrive at Teheran Imam Komenei Airport (IKA), you can apply for visa on arrival. You’ll need €50 in cash, a passport and a hotel reservation in Iran to apply for a 15-day-visa. For longer stays, you’ll need to apply in advance at an Iranian embassy. It is strictly forbidden to import alcohol into Iran!
Currency
Official currency is the Iranian Rial. €1 equals roughly 30,000 Rial. As part of the international sanctions against Iran, there are no international banks present in the country. This results in almost no foreign credit card being accepted anywhere. Since you can’t change your money into Rial outside of the country, you’ll need to bring foreign currency in cash with you.
