Flying from Tehran to Lahore connects the capital of Iran to the cultural heart of Pakistan. People take this trip for business, trade, and visiting historical sites. Lahore is the second-largest city in the country and offers a very safe environment for visitors. OrientTrips makes booking your tickets simple. Here is what you need to know about flight times, getting the lowest ticket prices, visa rules, and planning your stay in the Punjab region.
You can fly direct from Tehran to Lahore. The two cities sit about 1,500 kilometers apart by air. Mahan Air is the main airline running this route. Their direct flights take about 3 hours and 15 minutes. If you decide to take a connecting flight with another airline, your trip will take 6 hours or more depending on your layover.
Mahan Air offers flights on all days of the week. They have several departure times from Tehran, including morning flights around 06:50 or 09:00, and afternoon flights around 17:10. Return flights from Lahore also run throughout the day. Because this route is popular, you can easily find a time that fits your schedule.

Your trip starts at Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKA). This is the main international airport for Tehran. Arrive at the airport at least three hours early so you have enough time to check your bags and pass through passport control.
You will land at Allama Iqbal International Airport (LHE). After you get your bags, taking a taxi into the city is fast.
Lahore has very hot and humid summers. In June and July, the temperature can reach 40 degrees Celsius. Because of the heat, fewer people travel, and ticket prices usually go down. If you want to pay less money, summer is the cheapest time to fly.
If you want better weather, the best time to visit is between January and June. The air is cooler, but ticket prices will be higher. Buying a round-trip ticket is usually cheaper than buying two one-way tickets. Try to buy your ticket a few weeks before your trip to get the best rate.
Lahore is over 2,000 years old. People often call it the "City of Gardens" because of the old parks built by the Mughal rulers. Today, it is a very busy trade center, but it holds tightly to its deep history and culture. It is widely considered the safest city in Pakistan for travelers.
Traffic in Pakistan moves very differently than in Europe or Iran. You can take local buses, which are very cheap but usually crowded and slow. Taxis and auto-rickshaws are everywhere and cost very little. Many drivers do not speak English, so it is a good idea to carry a map or have your hotel address written down.
Most people start their visit at the Lahore Fort and the huge Badshahi Mosque right next to it. Walking through the Shalimar Gardens gives you a quiet break from the busy streets. You can also visit the Anarkali Bazaar to walk among the locals and buy cheap goods, or go to large modern centers like Packages Mall and Emporium Mall for clothes and gifts.
