Mashhad, a pilgrimage destination

Mashhad is one of the destinations Iraqi travellers visit most for pilgrimage to the shrine of Imam Reza, and demand on this route rises sharply around Arbaeen and Ramadan. On those dates the cheapest seats go first, so booking weeks ahead rather than days makes a real difference to the fare.

Match the name to the passport. Enter every passenger's name exactly as it is printed in the passport. Airlines treat a mismatch as a different person, and correcting it afterwards costs a change fee where it is permitted at all.

Check your passport validity. You may not need a visa for Iran, but your passport must be valid. Check its expiry date before you book, especially when travelling with family.

Check the baggage allowance. The cheapest fare often carries hand luggage only. Read what the fare includes before you pay, and add checked bags during booking if you need them - it is almost always cheaper than at the airport.

Book pilgrimage dates early. Fares to Mashhad climb as Arbaeen and Ramadan approach. Booking weeks ahead is the largest saving available to you.
