Airport Checkin

All Iran Air flights from London operate from Heathrow Airport Terminal 3 zone F.

From central London, the Piccadilly line underground train takes about an hour to reach Heathrow, plus a further 10-15 minute walk to terminal 3. Further information on access, and facilities at Heathrow airport can be found at the Heathrow Airport website.

Iran Air has 6 check-in desks at Terminal 3 Heathrow, located towards the end of the departures hall in zone F. There is a separate desks for Homa class (1st class) ticket holders, ticket sales, and freight/excess luggage. You may purchase tickets from the sales desk on the day of the flight, if seats are available. However, you must ensure that you arrive at the desk at least 4 hours prior to departure.

Due to the large number of passengers (over 400) checking in per flight, and the pre-boarding security checks at Heathrow, it is recommended that you ARRIVE AT HEATHROW AT LEAST 4 HOURS prior to your flight. Check-in desks close 60 minutes prior to take-off. You will not be able to check in after the desk closes.

Passengers with special services, e.g. requiring wheelchairs, should request during resrvation, and contact Iran Air airport staff as early as possible to make arrangements.

TRANSIT PASSENGERS ARRIVING IN HEATHROW, EITHER FROM TRANS-ATLANTIC FLIGHTS, OR FROM TEHRAN, MUST PRESENT THEIR TICKETS AND BAGGAGE TAGS AT THE TRANSFER DESK OF THEIR NEXT CONNECTING CARRIER ( E.G. VIRGIN ATLANTIC, AIR CANADA, IRAN AIR, ETC.).
