How the journey works
Sulaymaniyah has its own international airport with connections through Istanbul, Doha and the Gulf. It is also only about three hours by road from Erbil, so flying into Erbil and driving is a real alternative whenever the fare gap is wide — and it often is.
The fare
The Erbil comparison is the whole trick with Sulaymaniyah, and it is one almost nobody runs. Three hours of driving can be worth a great deal on a family of four.
When to travel
Higher and greener than Erbil, with real snow in winter and a beautiful spring. April and May, then September and October, are the months worth flying for.
