That's really strange. Lufthansa and Alitalia have a presence there, as well as Emirates, Qatar, Etihad and Turkish. While the US and Iran do not have good relations, there have been no sanctions or laws that forbid US citizens from visiting Iran. There is a large population of Iranian immigrants in the United States, so I am not really sure why they have done this. This banning of Iranian destinations definitely seems extreme to me.Originally posted by ecureilx View PostSaw this on another forum ... disclaimer: not my words ..
About 1 month ago all of the major travel web sites on the internet removed all Iranian airports as bookable destinations putting Iran firmly in the category of Cuba. I actually reached out to several of the major web sites, including the PR Relations contact at KAYAK, and received no answer whatsoever. The web sites I counted include all the major ones which are mostly US based companies including.
www.Kayak.com - No error message. Just removed everything.
www.Orbitz.com - " Sorry, we cannot find a match."
www.Expedia.com - "We could not find any airports that match your search for 'tehran'."
Though it hasn't been confirmed, this action is probably encouraged at least tacitly by David Cohen (Under Secretary) at the Treasury Sanctions Office (OFAC) probably using some sanctions rule.
US law does not actually restrict anyone wishing to visit Iran including the 1 million emigres in the US.
www.Travelocity.com - still allows booking IKA. As do some European sites. The major airlines flying into Iran at present are:Comment
