Iran Air

I really didn?t know what to expect from a flight on Iran Air; my imagination ran wild. A colleague of mine, who has flown with them several times, had told me that they are perfectly comfortable, the service reasonable and I would enjoy the flight.

Iran Air serve Tehran from Heathrow 3 times a week, and their direct flights can be considerably cheaper, especial in Business & First class, than BA - provided you buy from the right source. Where is the best place to buy tickets on Iran Air? This is my best advice based upon 10 years experience of selling discounted airline tickets - but if you think you already know everything, and just want to find out the cheapest place to buy it for this airline, then skip to the last paragraph!
