How the journey works
Baghdad is served by one-stop connections from Germany through Istanbul, Doha and Amman, with Iraqi Airways on several of them. It is also the hub for the domestic legs south to Najaf and Basra, which we book on the same ticket where the timings allow.
The fare
On Baghdad the saving is usually in the connection, not the headline fare — the wrong one adds a night in a transit hotel. We price the journey, not the leg.
When to travel
Very hot from June to September and mild from November to March. The comfortable months are also the ones where fares are not being pushed by the holiday traffic.

Questions and answers
Can you book the domestic leg too?
Yes — Najaf and Basra on the same booking wherever the connection allows, so one ticket covers the whole journey.
Which connection is best?
It depends on your departure city and how long a layover you will accept. That is a conversation, and it usually saves money.
