Iran Aseman B727 THR-MHD-THR

Our last day in Iran started (like the previous ones) with a pair of flight. Again to Mashhad. This time on a Boeing 727 from Iran Aseman Airlines. Later that day we visited the Iran Air maintenance facility and in the evening I boarded my flight to Kuala Lumpur.

Mahan Air A300B4-600 THR-MHD-THR

The day nearing its end, we slowly proceeded again to the airport for a round trip flight to Mashhad and back. Scheduled was a Boeing 747-300 but unfortunately it broke down a couple of days before our arrival and it was swapped for an Airbus A300-600. Unlucky, but still not very easy to catch. First flight in business class and accompanied with a visit in the lounge at THR and the return in economy. Our plane will be EP-MNQ, an ex Lufthansa bird.

Pouya Air Antonov 74 THR-MHD-THR

Three days have passed, the sightseeing part of my trip to Iran has basically ended. One day in Tehran and two visits south, to Shiraz and Isfahan. It was time to start the flying part. Two days, three visits in Mashhad and a long-haul to KUL. Firstly an round trip Tehran-Mashhad-Tehran on a Pouya Air Antonov 74. What was poor about the flight was the space for cabin baggage. My bag (and not only mine) didn't fit either in the overhead bin nor under the seat in front of me so most of the flight our legs have been in a strange position. Video review at the end of the entry.
