Flying from Shiraz to Yazd connects two of Iran's most historic cities. Taking a plane cuts a long drive across the desert down to a very short trip. People take this route for work, family visits, and vacations. OrientTrips makes booking your tickets simple. Here is what you need to know about airline schedules, finding the lowest ticket prices, and planning your stay in Yazd province.
Driving from Fars province to Yazd covers about 320 kilometers and takes many hours. Flying cuts your travel time down to less than one hour. It is the fastest way to move between these two cities and saves you from a long, tiring drive.
Carriers like Mahan Air, Iran Air, and Iran Aseman Airlines fly this route. Since this is a short domestic flight, the planes offer standard economy seats. Your ticket usually allows you to bring between 15 and 25 kilograms of checked baggage. Check your ticket details before you pack to avoid extra weight fees at the airport.
Your trip starts at Shahid Dastgheib International Airport (SYZ). It sits about 15 kilometers south of the city center. You can take a taxi to get there. Arrive at the airport about two hours early to check your bags and pass through security.
You will land at Shahid Sadooghi Airport (AZD). It is a smaller airport located about 10 kilometers from the center of Yazd. After you get your bags, taking a taxi into town is fast. You can also book an airport transfer on our website, so a driver will wait for you when you arrive.
Yazd flight prices change depending on the season. The desert gets very hot in the summer, so fewer people travel there. Because of the heat, ticket prices usually go down. Spring and fall bring cooler weather, so tickets usually cost more during those times.
To get the best deal, try to buy your ticket a few weeks before your trip. Waiting until the day before your flight usually means you will pay more money.
If you have to leave fast, our search tool can help you find last-minute tickets. Travel agencies in Iran sometimes buy blocks of seats. If they have empty seats a few days before the plane takes off, they lower the prices to sell them quickly. Look for these cheaper charter tickets in your search results.
Booking all your travel in one place saves you a lot of time. With OrientTrips, you can handle your flights, hotel rooms, and airport rides on one screen.
After you buy your plane ticket, you can look at our list of hotels in Yazd and book a room.
Yazd sits in the middle of the Iranian desert. It is known for its old mud-brick buildings and narrow streets. The weather is very dry. Summers are hot, and winters are cold, especially at night.
Most people start their visit at Amir Chakhmaq Square. It is a large, open space with a famous three-story building. You can also walk through the old city to see windcatchers (Badgirs). These tall towers catch the wind and cool the houses below them without using electricity. The Water Museum is another good stop to see how people brought water into the dry city hundreds of years ago.
The food in Yazd uses a lot of local ingredients. You can try Shooli, a thick soup made with spinach, lentils, and vinegar. The city is also very well known for its sweets, like Qottab, Pashmak, and Baklava. You can buy these in small boxes from shops all over the city.
