Flight Dubai to Bandar-e Abbas

There are two options to cross from Dubai to Bandar-e Abbas (Iran), boat or plane. The boat isn't recommended as the waters are known for smuggling and pirates aren't unheard of - so we took the plane. This turned out to be more challenging then expected (thanks Feras for the support). - Buying a ticket The only airline serving this link is Iran Aseman 3 times a week. Unfortunately most travel agents don't book these tickets. It took several calls just to figure out where to get it. After finally finding a place, we got the ticket, which was special as well. Hand written... . - Airport Armed with the ticket Feras brought us to the airport only to learn that Iran Aseman flies from a seperate terminal (which wasn't even familiar to the locals!). It's actually the cargo terminal which is also used by "less known" airlines (I didn't know a single airline flying from there). It's one room, no finger docks nothing. You wait for the bus to pass the cargo planes to enter your plane. While waiting you had the opportunity to brush up your geography knowledge as many locations weren't exactly familiar. Besides Baghdad and Kabul which were familiar I was struggling with Ahway, Vnukovo... - Flight The plane was ok, not much older than Katrin and me together. On board the crew (obviously with covered hair) served a good snack.
